Viscoelastic fluids are a type of non-Newtonian fluids which are formed by complex internal structures and high-molecular-weight, whose typical examples are the polymer solutions and molten polymers. ...
Medina Iglesias, Vicente (Date of defense: 2011-01-24)
The main target of this research is to develop a numerical model for debris flow simulations. As it is known, in general, this kind of flows occur in steeped mountain slopes. When dealing with the ...
Zorrilla Martínez, Rubén (Date of defense: 2020-09-21)
This thesis develops a numerical tool (the Virtual Wind Tunnel, VWT) for the resolution of problems involving fluid flow around structures. Due to the limitations that traditional methods may have in ...
Obiso, Vincenzo (Date of defense: 2018-03-07)
In this thesis an assessment of the parameterization of the Aerosol-Radiation Interaction (ARI) in online integrated meteorology-chemistry models has been conducted. The model estimates of ARI radiative ...
Lu, Xufei (Date of defense: 2022-07-15)
The objectives of this thesis are (i) to understand the thermal, metallurgical and mechanical behavior during AM, (ii) to shed light on the generation of residual stresses and the stress-induced ...
Kim, Sungchul (Date of defense: 2021-07-21)
In this thesis, two main topics have been covered: the mechanics of strain localization in plasticity and the performance of several mixed finite elements subjected to plastic strain localization. Throughout ...
Civancik-Uslu, Didem (Date of defense: 2019-05-16)
Mineral masterbatches, in other words mineral fillers, are concentrates of calcium carbonate or talc in a polymer base. In addition to their optimal cost, their use improves mechanical properties of ...
Haider, Jibran (Date of defense: 2018-04-20)
In practical engineering applications involving extremely complex geometries, meshing typically constitutes a large portion of the overall design and analysis time. In the computational mechanics ...
