(English) Unreinforced masonry buildings (URM), which prevail in many historic and urban centres, can be considered to be significantly vulnerable to seismic actions due to their peculiar constructive ...
Two-stage stochastic optimization models give rise to very large linear problems (LP). Several approaches have been devised for efficiently solving them, among which are interior-point methods (IPM). ...
Cloud cavitation is a unwanted phenomenon taking place in many hydraulic machines which damages the surfaces of the solid walls due to the erosive aggressiveness induced by the collapse process. Therefore, ...
(English) As one of our most successful theories, quantum theory has greatly strengthened our understanding of nature and significantly advanced technologies. Specifically, quantum effects provide ...
The present dissertation is an in-depth investigation from the macro to atomic scale of industrial wear-resistant CVD hard coatings deposited on cemented carbides for cutting tool applications. ...
This thesis explores classification and perturbation problems for group actions on a class of Poisson manifolds called $b^m$-Poisson manifolds. $b^m$-Poisson manifolds are manifolds which are symplectic ...
The aerospace community is challenged as of today for being able to manage accurate overnight computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of compressible flow problems. Well-established CFD solvers ...
Nowadays, around 690 million undernourished people worldwide, even though the world already produces enough food to feed more than the whole current population. This situation is far from diminishing ...
The objective of this thesis is to improve the efficiency in the compass adjustment. First, a complete, orderly, synthetic and updated study on this matter is performed, including the state of the art, ...
Optimization of membrane separation processes rely on the accurate determination of some parameters related to membrane structure, chemistry, morphology or transport mechanism. Therefore, membrane ...
