Computational aeroacoustics in the automotive industry
The acoustic field inside a car cabin for low driving speeds is dominated by the engine or the tire noise. However, for mid to high velocities, the noise generated by the interaction of the car with the external air becomes ...
Modelo estocástico de hueso cortical de costilla humana para la predicción de fracturas mediante emisión acústica
In this document, a non-linear constitutive model with micro-cracking and irreversibility is proposed for cortical bone of the human rib, extended with a stochastic fracture model, based on acoustic emission. Both models ...
Amortiguación de final de carrera de actuadores hidráulicos
The internal cushioning systems of hydraulic linear actuators, of special interest in mobile machinery, pursue to avoid mechanical shocks at their end of stroke. The design where the piston, with perimeter grooves, regulates ...
Numerical investigation and modelling of the unsteady behavior and erosion power of cloud cavitation
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, it is necessary ...
Study of the beam induced vacuum effects in the cryogenic beam vacuum chamber of the Future Circular Hadron Collider
The Future Circular Hadron Collider (FCC-hh) is a proposal for a 100 km long hadron collider conceived as the successor of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The FCC-hh is designed to reach 50 TeV of beam energy, greatly ...
