Martínez Gomariz, Eduardo (Fecha de defensa: 2016-11-04)
In this research work, an analysis is first undertaken on the hazard regarding people exposed to floods in urban areas. Several experiments with people were carried out in order to determine the stability limit to pedestrians, ...
Colomés Gené, Oriol (Fecha de defensa: 2016-03-31)
In this thesis we have developed a path towards large scale Finite Element simulations of turbulent incompressible flows. We have assessed the performance of residual-based variational multiscale (VMS) methods for the ...
Cabrera Vélez, Esteban Marcelo (Fecha de defensa: 2023-02-16)
(English) In post-seismic scenarios, the rapid and safe evaluation of structural damage is essential to develop an effective response during the recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction stages. The development of new ...
Barbat Vlad, Gabriel (Fecha de defensa: 2021-02-11)
The numerical modelling of fracture has been an active topic of research for over five decades. Most of the approaches employed rely on the use of the Finite Element Method, which has shown to be an effective and cost-efficient ...
Caro Camargo, Carlos Andrés (Fecha de defensa: 2016-01-25)
Distributed hydrological modeling occurs as a historical consequence of the different developments and advances in conceptual hydrology, first, through deepening and adaptation of hydrology through aggregated methods, and ...
Khadivipanah, Peiman (Fecha de defensa: 2022-02-03)
The main objective of this thesis is to describe and implement a rate-dependent (viscoplastic) constitutive equations for copper based canister using a single internal state variable and use it for modelling disposal schemes ...

Se ha llevado a cabo:<br/><br/>A) Un estudio de las propiedades básicas del suelo no saturado (tipo limo) a escala microestructural, incluyendo esqueleto sólido, fase liquida y fase gaseosa. <br/><br/>B) Elaboración de un ...
Giné Garriga, Ricard (Fecha de defensa: 2015-11-21)
Water and sanitation improvements together with good hygiene (WaSH) have well-known positive impacts on human development and poverty alleviation. However, universal access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation remains ...
Refachinho de Campos, Paulo Roberto (Fecha de defensa: 2022-09-27)
(English) This work presents a new updated reference Lagrangian Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) algorithm for the analysis of large deformation by introducing a novel system of first order conservation laws. Both ...
Avila, Matías (Fecha de defensa: 2012-11-16)
The general description of a fluid flow involves the solution of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations, a very complex problem whose mathematical structure is not well understood. It is widely accepted that these equations ...
Zhan, Zhifeng (Fecha de defensa: 2012-06-19)
Based on the laboratory, field and numerical results, the post-rupture strength defined firstly by Burland (1990) is verified and introduced in this thesis to describe the two-stage post-peak strain-softening characteristics ...
Donado Garzón, Leonardo David (Fecha de defensa: 2009-10-05)
El transporte de solutos no conservativos en medios porosos o fracturados es altamente influenciado por su heterogeneidad. Complejidad adicional se agrega al proceso de transporte, debido a la presencia de diferentes tipos ...
Kim, Sungchul (Fecha de defensa: 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 the thesis, ...
Ziaei-Rad, Vahid (Fecha de defensa: 2016-05-02)
The phase field method has proven to be an important tool in computational fracture mechanics in that it does not require complicated crack tracking and is able to predict crack nucleation and branching. However, the ...
Mujal Colilles, Anna (Fecha de defensa: 2013-05-13)
Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is one of the most used experimental techniques in fluid mechanics to obtain the velocity field of a flow. One of its most celebrated characteristics is that it does not have interference ...
Vaezi Anzeha, Iman (Fecha de defensa: 2023-12-21)
(English) This doctoral thesis investigates the causes that induce (micro)seismicity as a result of hydraulic stimulation in fractured low-permeability rock. Understanding such phenomenon is of paramount importance to ...
