Cardoso Nungaray, Víctor Eduardo (Data de defensa: 2018-04-27)
This thesis presents a proposal to simulate mechanics and dynamics of brittle fracture. A variational formulation is used to describe Lagrangian mechanics, by minimizing the difference between potential and kinetic energy ...
Iaconeta, Ilaria (Data de defensa: 2019-11-29)
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, ...
Cañas Gallart, Jordi (Data de defensa: 2016-04-19)
Pervious concrete is a special material with high permeability usually obtained by reducing the amount of fine aggregates in the composition of concrete. The properties of pervious concrete not only depend on its composition ...
Zamanillo Campos, Marina (Data de defensa: 2019-12-12)
Transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) and Coomassie stainable particles (CSP) are operationally defined as organic particles > 0.4 µm that are stainable with the dyes Alcian Blue (specific for acidic polysaccharides) and ...
Ambroso, Stefano (Data de defensa: 2021-01-25)
Knowledge of the abundance, distribution patterns, and population ecology of antarctic benthic biodiversity have increased considerably during the last decades. Antarctic marine benthic biodiversity has been sampled primarily ...
Cornejo Castillo, Francisco Miquel (Data de defensa: 2017-12-19)
Biological N2 fixation, the reduction of dinitrogen (N2) gas to biologically available nitrogen, is a fundamental process since it represents a source of new nitrogen for marine life in areas where this important element ...
Barcons Roca, Jordi (Data de defensa: 2017-11-21)
Near-surface wind fields are typically obtained from mesoscale Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models. These models describe the physics and dynamics of atmospheric phenomena with characteristic dimensions spanning from ...
Carluccio, Gaia di (Data de defensa: 2021-11-30)
Modelling geotechnical problems involving large deformation is a research field that arouses growing interest since it is fundamental for evaluating the risk and quantifying the magnitude of consequences. However, it is ...
De la Fuente Gamero, Patricia (Data de defensa: 2019-10-04)
The Global Ocean is the largest Earth compartment holding carbon and nutrients that reaches the upper-ocean at temporal scales ranging from months to 10 kyr. The availability of these nutrients is fundamental to sustain ...
Carnerero Quintero, Cristina (Data de defensa: 2021-09-30)
Atmospheric aerosol particles, particularly ultrafine particles (UFPs; particles with less than 100 nm in diameter), and tropospheric ozone (O3) are atmospheric pollutants highly influenced by photochemical reactions, i.e., ...
Albo-Puigserver, Marta (Data de defensa: 2019-10-18)
Mediterranean marine ecosystems are fundamentally driven by their pelagic communities and small and medium-size pelagic fishes (SMPF) play crucial ecological roles. Although fluctuations of the populations of these organisms ...
Grinyó Andreu, Jordi (Data de defensa: 2016-10-17)
Technological development and increased availability of remotely operated vehicles and manned submersibles have significantly increased accessibility to deep environments revealing the presence of rich and diverse macrobenthic ...
Corrales Ribas, Xavier (Data de defensa: 2019-03-21)
Firstly, I reviewed modelling approaches that were used to assess the impact of invasive alien species (IAS) in aquatic ecosystems. According to the review, multispecies/ecosystem mechanistic models dominated the applications, ...
Pérez Madrigal, Domingo (Data de defensa: 2018-06-20)
The use of bituminous material milled from the pavement (known as Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement, or RAP) in the manufacture of recycled bituminous mixtures is growing day by day due to the economic and environmental benefits ...
López Montero, Teresa (Data de defensa: 2018-06-19)
Asphalt mixtures cracking is one of the most common deterioration mechanisms in flexible pavements. This phenomenon is due to both the application of loads and the degradation of the material as a result of its exposure ...
Mora Ortiz, René Sebastián (Data de defensa: 2016-03-03)
The microstructure, understood as the distribution of pore sizes and their connectivity, is an important factor that affects the mechanical behaviour and the hydraulic properties of compacted soils with fine fraction (silts ...
Villarraga Díaz, Claudia Juliana (Data de defensa: 2018-02-28)
The environmental conditions may play a relevant role in the stability of rock slopes. In fact, weathering can contribute to the reduction of strength of the material, while atmospheric actions may increase internal stresses ...
Marín Beltrán, Isabel (Data de defensa: 2017-07-21)
The Mediterranean Sea is an oligotrophic basin, while the atmosphere above is affected by continuous emissions of anthropogenic aerosols and episodic Saharan dust events. These atmospheric inputs finally deposit (as wet ...
Titscher, Thomas (Data de defensa: 2019-09-27)
Concrete is a complex material and can be modeled on various spatial and temporal scales. While simulations on coarse scales are practical for engineering applications, a deeper understanding of the material is gained on ...
Quaranta, Giacomo (Data de defensa: 2019-09-02)
Numerical simulation, the use of computers to run a program which implements a mathematical model for a physical system, is an important part of today technological world. It is required in many scientific and engineering ...
