Clot Razquin, Arnau (Date of defense: 2014-02-20)
This thesis presents a three-dimensional dynamic model of a double-deck circular tunnel embedded in a full-space. The model uses the receptance method to obtain the response of the complete structure from the response of ...
Ordóñez Izquierdo, Víctor Hugo (Date of defense: 2022-09-22)
Electromagnetic vibration energy harvesting is a relatively modern technology that has received relevant attention in the last decade from the research community and industry as a potential complement or alternative to the ...
Arcos Villamarín, Robert (Date of defense: 2007-07-13)
This thesis focuses on the development of an analytical model for the generation and propagation parts of a global model of ground induced vibrations to be used in preliminary assessment studies for the case of at-grade ...
Yago Llamas, Daniel (Date of defense: 2022-01-24)
This doctoral thesis addresses topology optimization problems at a single scale. Based on this purpose, a new topology optimization approach is developed in order to improve existing and widespread techniques in the research ...
Sohrabi, Shahin (Date of defense: 2022-03-11)
Active noise cancellation is a unique approach that helps passive noise control in reducing sound levels at low frequencies; nevertheless, successful use of active noise cancellation necessitates performing numerous and ...
Liravi, Hassan (Date of defense: 2022-07-29)
This thesis is concerned with the development of efficient and practical numerical methodologies to deal with longitudinally invariant soil-structure interaction problems in elastodynamics. All the approaches appearing in ...
Algar Espejo, Antonio (Date of defense: 2021-02-08)
The internal cushioning systems of hydraulic linear actuators, of special interest in mobile machinery, pursue to avoid mechanical shocks at their end of stroke. The design where the piston, with perimeter grooves, regulates ...
Ghangale, Dhananjay (Date of defense: 2019-07-19)
This thesis presents a methodology for assessing induced ground-borne vibration due to Underground railway infrastructures in the context of an urban environment. The methodology is based on a comprehensive numerical ...
Madadi, Hojjat (Date of defense: 2014-01-17)
Recently, the emergence of lab-on-a-chip devices has seen in a variety of applications especially in clinical analys is and diagnostics. ln particular the lack of suitable microdevices for separation of plasma from whole ...
Bossio, Matias Alberto (Date of defense: 2021-06-01)
In food and pharmacological industries, reducing the production time and improving the machine flexibility to be adapted to new products is a constant necessity. This generate changes on the initial working conditions for ...
Ripoll Masferrer, Lluís (Date of defense: 2006-01-11)
Los volantes de inercia superan a las baterías eléctricas por su capacidad de absorber y ceder energía en poco tiempo y, si se fabrican con materiales compuestos, también por su reducido peso. La tesis presenta un estudio ...
Lores Garcia, Eduard (Date of defense: 2017-12-22)
Machines and mechanisms can usually exhibit a vibratory behavior during operation since they are formed by deformable solids of non-negligible mass and non-rigid joints. This oscillatory behavior can be shown for transient ...
Zayas Figueras, Enrique Ernesto (Date of defense: 2001-11-26)
Los mecanismos leva-palpador en los que el cierre del par superior se realiza por la configuración geométrica de la leva y del palpador son denominados desmodrómicos o levas con cierre geométrico. Estos mecanismos son poco ...
Quintero Riaza, Héctor Fabio (Date of defense: 2006-06-28)
En multitud de aplicaciones, es de interés obtener relaciones de transmisión variables a lo largo de un ciclo de rotación del eslabón conductor. Éstas pueden obtenerse mediante distintos mecanismos, entre ellos los engranajes ...
Noori, Behshad (Date of defense: 2019-07-19)
This dissertation is concerned with investigating the efficiency of dynamic vibration absorbers (DVAs) as measures to mitigate ground-borne vibrations induced by railway traffic in double-deck tunnels. The main topics of ...
González Guitiérrez, Ramiro Arturo (Date of defense: 2012-01-09)
Degeneration and age affect the biomechanics of the intervertebral disc, by reducing its stiffness, flexibility and shock absorption capacities against daily movement and spinal load. The biomechanical characterization of ...
Pérez Rodríguez, Roberto (Date of defense: 2002-03-18)
El aumento de la competencia en el área de la fabricación moderna ha propiciado una mayor preocupación por la reducción de los costes, por el aumento de la calidad del producto y por la reducción progresiva del tiempo entre ...
Martínez Moll, Víctor (Date of defense: 2003-06-27)
En aquest treball s'ha realitzat una anàlisi de la junta T-bolt aplicada a la unió de laminats gruixuts amb elements metàl·lics. Més concretament, l'estudi es centra en el tipus de juntes T-bolt emprades en la unió entre ...
Martín Navarrete, Rocío (Date of defense: 2021-02-02)
The acoustic field inside a car cabin for low driving speeds is dominated by the engine or the tire noise. However, for mid to high velocities, the noise generated by the interaction of the car with the external air becomes ...
Jordi, Lluïsa (Date of defense: 1999-10-14)
