En este trabajo se ha desarrollado un cálculo vectorial sobre estructuras discretas, análogo al de los modelos continuos. Para ello se ha considerado como espacio subyacente un multigrafo finito o variedad discreta y se ...
(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 ...
The work’s development is made by scientific method stages: aims statement, hypothesis establishment and work method to check hypothesis. Conclusions are given at the end. It is supported by: a) Bibliographical review, ...
The automotive industry is constantly involved in the development of new methodologies and projects with the aim of reducing costs. During the vehicle design process, one of the most significant cost arises from building ...
(English) Understanding the triggering mechanisms of induced seismicity remains one of the most critical challenges in geo-energy applications. This Thesis aims at assessing (1) fault stability and induced seismicity ...
Throughout history, man has had the need to communicate through drawings, and drawing has evolved as another language. The technical aspect of drawing has sought to represent objects as faithfully as possible, both insofar ...
This thesis presents the results of applying a statistical hybrid approach for structural health monitoring using piezo actuating signals. Where, by combining statistical processing based on Principal Component Analysis ...
The main object of study of this thesis is the development of scalable and robust solvers based on domain decomposition (DD) methods for the linear systems arising from the finite element (FE) discretization of transient ...
(English) Turbidity currents in reservoirs are of strong scientific interest because they can be responsible for the contribution of large amounts of fine sediments that can cause early sediment filling. The case study ...
During the last years, the implementation of new Wastewater Treatment Plants has lead to a significant increase of sludge production. As a response, sludge valorisation in agriculture is the preferred option nowadays, ...
En esta tesis se presenta un modelo numérico para simular la fase de compactación de pulvimateriales y su implementación en ordenadores de cálculo paralelo, con el ánimo de facilitar y mejorar el diseño de los procesos de ...
(English) This doctoral thesis addresses one of the most significant challenges facing the Spanish administration: the efficient selection and management of public investments. To achieve this goal, the 'Public Investment ...
This thesis aims to propose and validate an innovative, fully open-source framework capable of performing multiscale analysis for the assessment of local wind flows within the urban fabric. Each part of the framework is ...
The Doñana wetlands, in Southwest Spain, undergo yearly cycles of inundation in fall and drying out during the spring season. As any wetland ecosystem, Doñana depends critically on its water resources. Important monitoring ...
Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is the physics branch that studies electrically conducting fluids under external magnetic fields. This thesis deals with the numerical approximation using stabilized finite element methods of two ...
This thesis presents the a stabilized projection-based Reduced Order Model (ROM) formulation in low speed fluid flows using a Variational Multi-Scale (VMS) approach. To develop this formulation we use a Finite Element (FE) ...
In order to be worldwide competitive, the automotive industry is constantly challenged to produce higher quality vehicles in the shortest time possible and with the minimum costs of production. Most of the problems with ...
The process of containerization and its continuous development involves changes and technological innovations in containerships and maritime container terminals. In the current era of "gigantism", despite existing fleet ...
This thesis presents some approaches for guided wave based stress monitoring as a part of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). SHM systems include different levels, from damage detection to prognosis, however, this work is ...
Experimental study was conducted to analyze the physical flow turbulence and sediment distribution with submerged vane. The objectives behind the investigation were verified and compare results with the Odgaard theory, ...
