Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya
La Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Barcelona Tech (UPC) és una institució pública de recerca i d'educació superior en els àmbits de l'enginyeria, l'arquitectura i les ciències.
L’activitat dels seus campus i centres fan de la UPC un punt de referència i, en complicitat amb el teixit productiu, són agent i motor de canvi econòmic i social, en posar en valor la recerca bàsica i aplicada i transferir tecnologia i coneixement a la societat.
Els investigadors i investigadores de la UPC treballen des dels laboratoris i centres de recerca per augmentar la producció científica, valoritzar-la socialment a través de la transferència de resultats i continuar liderant projectes internacionals d’excel·lència, ja sigui a partir d’iniciatives pròpies o en col·laboració amb altres centres de recerca i universitats d’arreu del món.

(English) The high precision controllability and versatility of Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) processes are enabling and accelerating the development of novel microfluidic-based manufacturing techniques. This technology relies ...
(English) The most common composite materials for strengthening building structures are divided into two dif ferent types based on the matrix’s composition, organics (polymers) or inorganics (cement, lime). The hybrid ...
The objectives of this thesis are (i) to understand the thermal, metallurgical and mechanical behavior during AM, (ii) to shed light on the generation of residual stresses and the stress-induced deformations and cracks, ...
Pallet racking systems are structures intended to store products. Their proper structural design is of paramount importance as its collapse can lead to significant economic losses and even human. This type of structures ...
Creating sustainability and public infrastructure is a fairly recent subject the engineering community has been debating. Introducing new building materials or introducing new structural designs is a strategy for constructing ...
Viscoelastic fluids are a type of non-Newtonian fluids which are formed by complex internal structures and high-molecular-weight, whose typical examples are the polymer solutions and molten polymers. Also, the viscoleastic ...
The design of offshore power stations (for wind, wave or tidal energy generation) requires assessing their environmental impact. In particular, it is of the major importance to predict the impact of the generated subsea ...
It is well known that in civil engineering structures are designed so that they remain,whenever possible, in an elastic regime and with their mechanical properties intact. The truth isthat in reality there are uncertainties ...
A new thin shell finite element is presented. This new element doesn’ t have rotational degrees of freedom. Instead, in order to overcome the C1 continuity requirement across elements, the author resorts to enhance the ...
The objective of the doctoral thesis is to perform the numerical approximation of the transient convection-diffusion-reaction (CDR) vector equation in 2D with high order finite elements, quadratic, cubic and fourth order, ...
The standard Fluid Structure Interaction coupling (velocity--pressure/displacement) is compared against two novel types of coupling, a Two Field coupling (velocity--pressure/displacement--pressure) and a Three Field coupling ...
Bulk handling, transport and processing of granular materials and powders are fundamental operations in a wide range of industrial processes and geophysical phenomena. Particulate materials, which can be found in nature, ...
The work presented in this Thesis is a set of developments focused on the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) and its applicability in several fields in Civil Engineering. The PFEM had already been proven to be a powerful ...
