Acoustic metamaterials are artificially designed and manufactured structures with dy-namical properties that are not typically found in naturally-occurring materials. The design of acoustic metamaterials is considered to ...

El objetivo de este trabajo es el desarrollo de una metodología para, a partir de una campaña de ensayo reducida (ensayo a tracción) y el estudio del proceso de formación de deformaciones inelásticas mediante modelos ...

Metal cutting or machining is a process in which a thin layer or metal, the chip, is removed by a wedge-shaped tool from a large body. Cutting is a complex physical phenomena in which friction, adiabatic shear bands, ...

The aim of this work is to present a new procedure for modelling industrial processes that involve granular material flows, using a numerical model based on the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM). The numerical results ...

Topology optimization (TO) is a promising numerical technique for designing optimal engineering structures in many industrial applications. It is expected that it might become an unavoidable engineering tool for many new ...

The aim of this study is to get familiarised with the latest numerical simulation techniques for laminated composite materials with the purpose of optimizing these materials applied to a structural element of an aircraft.

It is well known that boundary layer effects cannot be adequately represented on a coarse mesh. Resolving this local phenomena requires either increased mesh refinement as well as a higher computational cost. In the following ...
