Modelling of granular materials, soils and rocks has been a challenging topic of investigation for decades. Classical continuum mechanics has been used to idealize soils and rocks, and numerical solution ...
The development of high-speed train lines has increased significantly during the last twenty-five years, leading to more demanding loads in railway infrastructures. Most of these infrastructures were ...
We present three new stabilized finite element (FE) based Petrov-Galerkin methods for the convection-diffusionreaction (CDR), the Helmholtz and the Stokes problems, respectively. The work embarks upon ...
This thesis presents a proposal to simulate mechanics and dynamics of brittle fracture. A variational formulation is used to describe Lagrangian mechanics, by minimizing the difference between potential ...
In recent years, the study of computational hemodynamics within anatomically complex vascular regions has generated great interest among clinicians. The progress in computational fluid dynamics, image ...
Cell migration is a fundamental element in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. Alteration of its regulatory mechanisms leads to loss of adhesion and increased motility, critical steps ...
Actualmente hay diversas corrientes investigadoras que han profundizado en el estudio del comportamiento mecánico de los materiales, dejando un apreciable cúmulo de experiencias aprovechables. No obstante, ...
Although laminated materials have been used for decades, their employment has increased nowadays in the last years as a result of the gained confidence of the industry on these materials. This has ...
This works encompasses a broad review of the basic aspects of the Discrete Element Method for its application to general granular material handling problems with special emphasis on the topics of ...
We propose to develop, build and validate a new Concept of Bridge composed of Inflatable Beams, Lightweight, Modular and Portable (PVH-LMP) for surface transport vehicles, which uses pressurized air-filled ...
