This dissertation is a research about the mechanical behavior of the human esophagus. This work is intended to be applied in the treatment of stenosis and other esophageal diseases that frequently require ...
Bernat Masó, Ernest (Fecha de defensa: 2014-02-07)
A significant number of buildings are supported by load-bearing masonry walls. The preservation of these worldwide used structures is a sustainable alternative. However, there is little research about ...
Barbu, L. G. (Lucia Gratiela) (Fecha de defensa: 2016-02-01)
The present thesis aims at advancing an innovative computational methodology that simulates steel and composite material fracture under cyclic loading following a phenomenological approach, with calibration ...
Labra, C. A. (Carlos Andrés) (Fecha de defensa: 2012-07-19)
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 ...
Dávalos Chargoy, César Emilio (Fecha de defensa: 2014-06-19)
The aim of this work is to present a new procedure for modelling industrial processes that involve granular material flows, using a numerical model based on the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM). ...
Castillo del Barrio, Ernesto (Fecha de defensa: 2016-03-15)
The Finite Element Method (FEM) is a powerful numerical tool, that permits the resolution of problems defined by partial differential equations, very often employed to deal with the numerical simulation ...
Ortega, E. (Enrique) (Fecha de defensa: 2014-05-12)
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 ...
Escudero Torres, Cuauhtémoc (Fecha de defensa: 2015-07-13)
The numerical simulation in the field of civil engineering, while widely used in structural design, has not benefited from the full potential offered by new technologies for the analysis and design of ...
Cotela Dalmau, Jordi (Fecha de defensa: 2016-01-15)
This thesis explores the use of stabilized finite element formulations for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations to simulate turbulent flow problems. Turbulence is a challenging problem due to its ...
