    Variational mechanics and stochastic methods applied to structural design 

    Andujar Moreno, Rabindranath (Date of defense: 2015-02-03)

    This thesis explores a very well understood area of physics: computational structural dynamics. The aim is to stretch its boundaries by merging it with another very well established discipline such as structural design and ...

    White dwarf dynamical interactions 

    Aznar Siguan, Gabriela (Date of defense: 2015-04-30)

    Merging white dwarfs is a promising channel to trigger Type Ia supernovae, known as the double degenerate scenario. Supernovae are stellar explosions that radiate as much energy as any ordinary star is expected to emit ...
