Salazar González, Fernando (Data de defensa: 2017-02-23)
Dam behaviour is difficult to predict with high accuracy. Numerical models for structural calculation solve the equations of continuum mechanics, but are subject to considerable uncertainty as to the characterisation of ...
Codony, David (Data de defensa: 2021-03-01)
This PhD thesis focuses on the development of mathematical and computational models for flexoelectricity, a relatively new electromechanical coupling that is present in any dielectric at the micron and sub-micron scales. ...
Soler Sagarra, Joaquim (Data de defensa: 2020-07-28)
The study of transport of reacting solute through aquifers is relevant in many engineering fields. Reactive transport (RT) is complex because it consists of two phenomena, solute transport and chemical reactions, both of ...
Marzeddu, Andrea (Data de defensa: 2016-04-19)
The aim of this work is the study of laboratory effects on the measurement of wave impact induced loads on rigid maritime structures. A high number of experiments (more then 4000 using regular wave attacks) have been carried ...
Cabané Cañas, Albert (Data de defensa: 2023-05-17)
(English) Masonry structures are among the most abundant construction typologies in the world, having been commonly built until the second half of the 20th century. The determination of the mechanical properties of these ...
Puig Damians, Ivan (Data de defensa: 2016-07-28)
Soil reinforced retaining wall structures are materiallymore efficientthan competing construction solutions such as gravity and cantilever walls. Nevertheless, the behaviour and interactions between the com ponent materials ...
Comolli, Alessandro (Data de defensa: 2018-06-14)
Solute transport in heterogeneous porous media in general exhibits anomalous behaviors, in the sense that it is characterized by features that cannot be explained in terms of traditional models based on the advection-dispersion ...
Gasser i Rubinat, Marc (Data de defensa: 2018-11-19)
The Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW) is a dense (¿>1028.5 kg/m3), saline (38.5 g/kg) ocean stream originated in the evaporative Mediterranean basin flowing westward past Espartel Sill as a fast (>1 m/s) and often unstable ...
Arias Araluce, Fausto Arturo (Data de defensa: 2017-05-19)
Stroke is a major cause of death and disability in Spain and in the Western world. It is often caused by an accumulation of atherosclerotic plaques on the walls of carotid arteries. Carotid revascularization may be the ...
Dimovska, Sara (Data de defensa: 2023-05-26)
(English) Unreinforced masonry buildings (URM), which prevail in many historic and urban centres, can be considered to be significantly vulnerable to seismic actions due to their peculiar constructive and structural features ...
Gutiérrez Martínez, Raquel (Data de defensa: 2016-05-03)
Research of new sources of bioenergy is nowadays driving attention to microalgae. Cost-effective biomass harvesting poses a challenge for full-scale microalgae production for biofuels. In the context of wastewater treatment ...
Andreotti, Valeria (Data de defensa: 2019-07-12)
In the field of aquaculture, the main microalgae application is animal nutrition, in which they can be used as an unprocessed component, or as dried material for feed preparations. Moreover, microalgae can assimilate the ...
Ortiz Ruiz, Antonio (Data de defensa: 2021-12-17)
Microalgae culture is currently receiving considerable attention for its potential in wastewater treatment and production of algal biomass from which high-value bioproducts and bioenergy can be obtained, as well as the ...
Carles Brangarí, Albert (Data de defensa: 2017-09-22)
Most of the microorganisms on Earth are found in sophisticated colonies called biofilms. Such microbial communities may proliferate everywhere life can exist as long as nutrients are available and surface attachment is ...
Benedetti, Lorenzo (Data de defensa: 2017-05-11)
Strain localization and quasi-brittle failure in frictional-cohesive materials is still an open and challenging problem in computational mechanics. Owing to its complexity and the significant implications on numerous ...
De Vriendt, Kevin (Data de defensa: 2021-07-16)
Seawater intrusion presents one of the most unique and ubiquitous groundwater problems in the field of hydrogeology. Its complex boundary conditions coupled with variable density flow results in non-uniform flow which lead ...
Larion, Ygee (Data de defensa: 2022-02-01)
In a large number of geo-environmental applications, it is essential to model coupled processes that depend on several design parameters such as material properties and geometrical features. Thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) ...
Puig Montellà, Eduard (Data de defensa: 2019-07-16)
Numerical simulations at the pore scale are a way to study the behavior of multiphase flows encountered in many natural processes and industrial applications. In this work, liquid morphology and capillary action are examined ...
Stamatopoulos, Georgios (Data de defensa: 2023-07-07)
(English) This thesis records the evolution of the container throughput dynamics of the European port system from 2001-2020, analyses the dynamics of the European container port hierarchy with methodologies that have not ...
Jarauta Arabi, Àlex (Data de defensa: 2016-03-30)
Fuel cells are promising alternatives to conventional energy conversion devices. Cells fueled with hydrogen are environmentally friendly and their effciency is up to 3 times higher than that of high-temperature combustion ...
