A multi-scale theoretical model for soft materials
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-09-27)
Bachelor thesis
Open AccessMany manufactured materials, such as rubbers, are made of several constituents with very different mechanical stiffness. Interestingly, the overall mechanical response of the material exhibits a very particular response ... -
Computational model for the chemo-mechanical mechanism in wound healing
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-06-16)
Master thesis
Open AccessWounds in multicellular tissue occur regularly through the lifetime of living organisms, and the closure of these gaps is fundamental for their healthy development. From the physiological point of view, the success in ... -
Computational modeling of brain development
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-06-13)
Master thesis
Restricted access - author's decision
Covenantee: Centre Internacional de Mètodes Numèrics a l'EnginyeriaThe brain is one of the most exciting and unknown entities in nature. During development the brain folds towards a highly convoluted form. The topological features of the brain are also related to the deformation of the ... -
Computational modelling of the actin flow
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-06)
Master thesis
Open AccessActin turnover plays a fundamental role in cell motility, cancer or embryogenesis. The actin flow acts as an engine for the affective motion of motile cells by means of protrusive and retractile mechanisms conditioned also ... -
Computational models of mammalian brains in transient dynamics
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-05-11)
Master thesis
Open AccessTo date, the brain remains the most intriguing and unexplored organ in humans. Understanding its mechanical behavior is crucial for the study of brain diseases involving brain deformation in traumatic brain injury. Despite ... -
Estudio computacional de las propiedades visco-hiperelásticas del tejido cerebral
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-09-22)
Bachelor thesis
Restricted access - author's decisionLas propiedades mecánicas del tejido cerebral son motivo de estudio desde hace más de medio siglo. La mecánica del cerebro tiene un papel importante en las condiciones patológicas como las lesiones cerebrales, la ... -
Mathematical modelling of tumour growth in vitro
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-07)
Master thesis
Restricted access - author's decisionIt is now widely accepted that cells are mechanically integrated structures which dynamically respond to mechanical cues. Tumours are no exception to that rule but still little is known on how this mechano-transduction is ... -
Numerical model of cardiac electromechanics
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-10)
Master thesis
Open AccessIn this project, we develop a Finite Element Method (FEM) formulation that solves the cardiac electrophysiological problem of a three dimensional piece of tissue. This problem is modeled by an electromechanical model that ... -
Numerical modelling of the electrophysiology of the neuron
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-07)
Master thesis
Restricted access - author's decisionA majority of studies on the brain are focused at either the molecular level or organ level. Rarely do we see models that attempt to relate neuronal behaviors to symptoms of traumatic brain injury. Well-documented studies ...
