A generalized finite-strain damage model for quasi-incompressible hyperelasticity using hybrid formulation
(2016-03)
Article
Accés obertA new generalized damage model for quasi-incompressible hyperelasticity in a total Lagrangian finite-strain framework is presented. A Kachanov-like reduction factor (1 - D) is applied on the deviatoric part of the hyperelastic ... -
A homeostatic-driven turnover remodelling constitutive model for healing in soft tissues
(2016-03)
Article
Accés obertRemodelling of soft biological tissue is characterized by interacting biochemical and biomechanical events, which change the tissue's microstructure, and, consequently, its macroscopic mechanical properties. Remodelling ... -

Bridge condition and safety based on measured vibration level
(International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineers (IABSE), 2015)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialAlong the years, there were efforts by researchers in quantifying structural performance and damage in function of vibration measurements. Curves proposed by several authors try to relate acceleration spectrum to damage ... -
Effect of of ageing and temperature on the fatigue behaviour of bitumens
(2015-12)
Article
Accés obertBitumen ageing plays a significant role in determining the resistance of asphalt mixes to fatigue cracking. Regardless of the type of ageing (oxidation during manufacture or during the service life), hardening effects ... -
Escala de gravedad de daños en edificios: de la asignación directa a la contrastación estadística
(2018-09)
Article
Accés obertEstá firmemente demostrada la importancia de realizar mantenimiento preventivo en los edificios, para evitar que se degraden y aparezcan lesiones graves. También está demostrado que con el mantenimiento preventivo se ahorra ... -
Geometry of nanoindentation cube-corner cracks observed by FIB tomography: Implication for fracture resistance estimation
(Elsevier, 2015-09-01)
Article
Accés obertWhen indenting a brittle material with a sharp indenter, cracks can be generated at the corners of the imprint. From the length of these cracks, the fracture resistance can be estimated. This technique is simple and allows ... -
Heave of a building on Keuper anhydritic formation
(International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE), 2017)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialThe development of fissures in a building placed at the site of an ancient quarry excavated in a Keuper formation motivated a detailed in-situ investigation of the foundation material. Severe fissures and cracks were present ... -
Irreversible entropy model for damage diagnosis in resistors
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2015-10-28)
Article
Accés obertWe propose a method to characterize electrical resistor damage based on entropy measurements. Irreversible entropy and the rate at which it is generated are more convenient parameters than resistance for describing damage ... -
Management and safety of existing concrete structures via optical fiber distributed sensing
(CRC Press Taylor & Francis Group, 2014)
Capítol de llibre
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialThe use of Optical Backscatter Reflectometer (OBR) as a distributed fiber optic system to measure strain and detect cracking in concrete structures is investigated. A laboratory experience in a concrete slab is first ... -
Modelling fluid flow in opalinus clay excavation damage zone: a semi-analytical approach
(2014-12)
Article
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialThe HG-A in situ test, located at the Mont Terri Underground Rock Laboratory (URL), was analysed as part of the FORGE project. This test investigated the behaviour of the excavation damage zone (EDZ) around a backfilled ... -
Numerical homogenization for composite materials analysis: comparison with other micro mechanical formulations
(2015-04)
Article
Accés obertThis work presents a two-scale homogenization procedure to analyze three dimension composite structures by FEM. The theory implemented is compared with other micro-structural formulations: micro models and serial parallel ... -
Numerical simulation of failure involving multiple cracks with smoothed displacements.
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2013-05-13)
Tesina
Accés obertTo numerically simulate a failure process, damage models can be used. In order to avoid mesh dependency problems of local damage models, nonlocal models are employed. The use of nonlocal displacements is an efficient ... -
Reduced kinematic formulation based on the strong discontinuity method for reinforced concrete components
(CIMNE, 2015)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés obertDamage models, developed in the last decades, insure a continuous description of the fracture process zone in quasi-brittle materials but fail at representing fine information of the cracking features such as openings and ... -
