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 ...
Otero Gruer, Fermin (Fecha de defensa: 2016-02-09)
Most of the existing materials around us can be considered composite materials, since they are composed by several phases or components at certain spatial scale. The physical and chemical properties of ...
Velásquez Villada, César Augusto (Fecha de defensa: 2016-02-01)
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 ...
Yamin Lacouture, Luis Eduardo (Fecha de defensa: 2016-01-28)
The probabilistic seismic risk assessment in terms of economic losses for building portfolios aims at the estimation of the probability distribution functions of losses. This can be done for a specific ...
Mora Cuevas, Miguel Genaro (Fecha de defensa: 2016-02-02)
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Lafontaine, Nelson M. (Fecha de defensa: 2016-01-18)
The stated goal of this work is to develop a numerical explicit finite element method able to effectively address the strain localization process, discrete fracture and fragmentation process in ...
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 ...
