In this thesis the thermomechanical characterization of the shape memory alloy NiTiCu working as an actuator with different heat treatment (HT) temperatures has been carried out. The results from the tests carried on ...
El continuo deterioro y/o daños causados en las estructuras de hormigón durante su vida útil, son fenómenos inevitables que conlleva el paso del tiempo y viene a ser un problema importante que ha conducido al desarrollo ...
La propuesta de una vejiga artificial es un obstáculo a trasponer. El cáncer de vejiga está entre los casos más frecuentes de enfermedades oncológicas en Estados Unidos y Europa. Ese cáncer es considerado un problema médico ...
The present work focuses on the formulation of a Continuum Damage Mechanics model for nonlinear analysis of masonry structural elements. The material is studied at the macro-level, i.e. it is modelled as a homogeneous ...
Este trabajo presenta una reformulación de la metodología de discontinuidades fuertes de continuo para la simulación numérica del fallo material de estructuras.<br/>Los objetivos buscados han sido mejorar la robustez de ...
El progresivo incremento de la altura de los Edificios de Gran Altura (EGA) ha aumentado las consecuencias reales y potenciales cuando irrumpen en ellos incendios naturales. A la vista de dichas pérdidas, el objeto principal ...
El estudio de la mecánica computacional de fallo ha ganado creciente popularidad en los últimos años. Modelizar el comportamiento poscrítico de estructuras puede alcanzar un grado elevado de complejidad, debido a la ...
The present project is aimed to analyze the steel structure from an evolutionary point of view. The study¿s context has been the 20th century on the Catalan capital city in order to see how the historical, normative and ...
Today, 3.5 and 4G systems including Long Term Evolution (LTE) and LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) support packet-based services and provide mobile broadband access for bandwidth-hungry applications. In this context of fast evolution, ...
This work deals with the development and application of the Finite Point Method (FPM) to compressible aerodynamics problems. The research focuses mainly on investigating the capabilities of the meshless technique to address ...
Se proponen nuevos elementos finitos para problemas en mecánica de sólidos en el marco de una formulación estabilizada novedosa en este ámbito. Esta formulación se basa en el método de las sub-escalas, y particularmente ...
The objective of this thesis is to develop and evaluate a methodology for the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations for Bingham Herschel-Bulkley viscoplastic fluids using stabilized mixed velocity/pressure finite elements. ...
The knee joint is the largest and most complex both in humans and in canines. The internal forces that govern it, are not known exactly. Canine knee injuries are recurrent, especially in the anterior cruciate ligament, a ...
La tesis propone una metodología para el análisis de la degradación a fatiga que produce la aplicación de cargas cíclicas en un composite laminado de fibras largas.<br/>En primer lugar se han estudiado los mecanismos de ...
Since a few decades ago, the cold-formed steel industry has developed a press-forming procedure to bend trapezoidal commercial steel sheeting into an arched shape. The main quality of these arches is to be self-supporting, ...
The global tendency to apply sustainability criteria in most of productive fields, as well as, the limited durability and the pathologies that suffer the reinforced concrete elements, are aspects that directly affect the ...
El fallo resistente de las losas mixtas se produce generalmente por el deslizamiento longitudinal entre la chapa nervada de acero y el hormigón. La dificultad de diseño de chapas para losas mixtas reside en asegurar su ...
Composite laminates offer decisive advantages compared to more traditional materials, especially in structural applications where weight is a design-limiting factor. However, they have also shown a susceptibility to impact ...
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 provided the scientific ...
The natural hazard risk is a contingent liability and, thus, a sovereign risk for national governments and, therefore, it is important to assess properly the potential losses in order to design suitable policies and ...
