      This chapter presents the composite materials applied to Water Current Turbine (WCT) hydrokinetic turbines. Here will be briefly described the features of these turbines, the fluid-dynamic behavior of the rotor, and its ...
    • Adaptive analysis based on error estimation for nonlocal damage models 

      Rodríguez Ferran, Antonio; Arbós, I; Huerta, Antonio (2001-05)
      Article
      Accés obert
      An adaptive finite element strategy for nonlocal damage computations is presented. The proposed approach is based on the combination of a residual-type error estimator and quadrilateral h-remeshing. A distinctive feature ...

    • Error estimation and adaptivity for nonlocal damage models 

      Rodríguez Ferran, Antonio; Huerta, Antonio (2000-11)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Nonlocal damage models are typically used to model failure of quasi-brittle materials. Due to brittleness, the choice of a particular model or set of parameters can have a crucial influence on the structural response. To ...
