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 ...
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 ...
The finite element method is a tool very often employed to deal with the numerical simulation of multiphysics problems.Many times each of these problems can be attached to a subdomain in space which ...
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 ...
El objetivo de este trabajo de investigación es evaluar y adaptar los modelos constitutivos existentes para la caracterización termomecánica de las aleaciones con memoria de forma de níquel-titanio ...
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 ...
Living biological tissues are complex structures that have the capacity of evolving in response to external loads and environmental stimuli. The adequate modelling of soft biological tissue behaviour ...
A multi-domain homogenization method is proposed and developed in this thesis based on a two-scale technique. The method is capable of analyzing composite structures with several periodic distributions ...
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, ...
Cementitious materials such as mortar or concrete are brittle and have an inherent weakness in resisting tensile stresses. The addition of discontinuous fibers to such matrices leads to a dramatic ...
