Análisis resistente de estructuras de obra de fábrica mediante redes funiculares simuladas computacionalmente 

    Andreu Torras, Antoni (Date of defense: 2006-09-22)

    Este trabajo tiene por objetivo desarrollar una estrategia orientada a resolver de forma computacional el equilibrio estático de las obras pétreas formadas por elementos unidimensionales empleando la analogía clásica de ...

    Multiscale numerical modelling of microstructured reinforced composites 

    Otero Gruer, Fermin (Date of defense: 2016-02-09)

    Most of the existing materials around us can be considered composite materials, since they are composed by several phases or components at certain spatial scale. The physical and chemical properties of composites, as occurs ...

    Numerical modelling of the growth and remodelling phenomena in biological tissues 

    Comellas Sanfeliu, Ester (Date of defense: 2016-02-05)

    Living biological tissues are complex structures that have the capacity of evolving in response to external loads and environmental stimuli. The adequate modelling of soft biological tissue behaviour is a key issue in ...

    Numerical simulation of fatigue processes : application to steel and composite structures 

    Barbu, L. G. (Lucia Gratiela) (Date of defense: 2016-02-01)

    The present thesis aims at advancing an innovative computational methodology that simulates steel and composite material fracture under cyclic loading following a phenomenological approach, with calibration from both small ...
