    Phase field approach to fracture : massive parallelization and crack identification 

    Ziaei-Rad, Vahid (Date of defense: 2016-05-02)

    The phase field method has proven to be an important tool in computational fracture mechanics in that it does not require complicated crack tracking and is able to predict crack nucleation and branching. However, the ...

    Previsión de precipitación a muy corto plazo combinando técnicas de extrapolación de datos radar y modelos meteorológicos 

    Hernández Navarro, Olver Olfrey (Date of defense: 2018-02-22)

    Rainfall nowcasting based on the extrapolation of most recent radar rainfall fields usually shows better skill than NWP models for short lead times, since it benefits from observations of the initial rainfall state. In ...

    Robust structural damage detection by using statistical hybrid algorithms 

    Camacho Navarro, Jhonatan (Date of defense: 2019-07-15)

    This thesis presents the results of applying a statistical hybrid approach for structural health monitoring using piezo actuating signals. Where, by combining statistical processing based on Principal Component Analysis ...

    Scalable domain decomposition methods for finite element approximations of transient and electromagnetic problems 

    Olm Serra, Marc (Date of defense: 2019-02-18)

    The main object of study of this thesis is the development of scalable and robust solvers based on domain decomposition (DD) methods for the linear systems arising from the finite element (FE) discretization of transient ...

    Software development for the optimization of the influence of wind flows within energy applications and sustainable town planning 

    Germano, Nicola (Date of defense: 2021-12-14)

    This thesis aims to propose and validate an innovative, fully open-source framework capable of performing multiscale analysis for the assessment of local wind flows within the urban fabric. Each part of the framework is ...
