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 ...
This dissertation deals with obtaining the mechanical properties of the cortical bone of the human ribs. One hundred one samples from 76 donors were tested for this study. The number of tested samples ...
Uno de los principales problemas asociados a la fabricación de piezas sinterizadas se debe a la pérdida de homogeneidad en las propiedades del aglomerado obtenido durante el proceso de compactación. Por ...
En esta tesis se presenta una alternativa a la formulación clásica de elementos finitos basada en elementos de arista (edge elements) y las ecuaciones de Maxwell curl-curl. Este enfoque alternativo se ...
Las membranas son estructuras (sin rigidez a flexión) que conforman una superficie en el espacio, con espesor mínimo. Se aproximan a una superficie geométrica y trabajan sólo mediante esfuerzos de ...
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 ...
En estructures pretesades sotmeses a ambients corrosius, s'està estudiant la possibilitat de substituir els tendons d’acer per tendons que no pateixin els efectes de la corrosió. En aquest sentit, els ...
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 ...
In the situation to make decisions about which risk mitigation measures -RMM- to implement and the performance level required, arises the need for a quantitative analysis of benefits that may be obtained ...
Cell migration is a fundamental element in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. Alteration of its regulatory mechanisms leads to loss of adhesion and increased motility, critical steps ...
