Suppression of spurious frequencies in scattering problems by means of boundary algebraic and combined field equations

Poblet-Puig, Jordi; Valyaev, Valery; Shanin, Andrey (2015-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policy

A numerical technique for solving scattering problems is presented. It is based on a boundary integral equation idea, so the unknowns are localized on the contour (in 2D case) or the surface (in 3D case) of the scattering ...

Agent based modeling for simulating taxi services[: case study in Barcelona]

Salanova Grau, Josep Maria; Estrada Romeu, Miguel Ángel (Elsevier, 2015)
Conference report
Open Access

Taxi services account for a significant part of the daily trips in most of cities around the world. Due to the fact that most of the taxi markets are regulated by a central authority there is the need for developing tools ...

Aggregated modeling of urban taxi services

Salanova Grau, Josep Maria; Estrada Romeu, Miguel Ángel; Amat Bertran, Carles (2014)
Conference report
Open Access

Various models have been developed for calculating the variables that characterize the taxi services in urban regions and defining the principal policy measures such as fleet size, fares or available operational modes. ...

Evaluation of the GPR frequency spectra in asphalt pavement assessment

Pedret Rodés, Josep; Pérez Gracia, María de la Vega; Martínez Reguero, Adriana Haydée (2015-10)
Article
Open Access

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is frequently used in pavement assessments, mainly using the evaluation of wave travel times. However, GPR data provide further information that could be used in order to determine the inner ...

Anticipar el futuro: una gran oportunidad para la ingeniería

Macias Arau, Pere (2015-03)
Article
Open Access

The author, a professor of urban planning legislation, retraces the pioneering and visionary role in contemporary planning of Udefons Cerda, the progressive urban planner responsible for designing Modern Barcelona. This ...

Assessment of the adhesive capacity of asphalt binders in the aggregate-binder bonds by means of new methodology

Valdés Vidal, Gonzalo A.; Miró Recasens, José Rodrigo; Martínez Reguero, Adriana Haydée (2015)
Article
Open Access

The main goal of this study is to present a new methodology to characterize the adhesive capacity (cohesion and adhesion capacity) of asphalt binders by means of new mechanical parameters. This methodology is based on the ...

Candilis-Josic-Woods y Le Corbusier: “Las ventanas no son un hueco en la pared”

Fontana, Maria Pia; Mayorga Cárdenas, Miguel Yuri; Alzate, Edisson (2014-12)
Article
Open Access

This article analyses the comparison between several of Candilis-Josic-Woods’ representative projects between 1947 and 1955 and Le Corbusier’s Villas and Unité works. Through this analysis it establishes the interaction ...

Using spectral finite elements for parametric analysis of the vibration reduction index of heavy junctions oriented to flanking transmissions and EN-12354 prediction method

Poblet-Puig, Jordi; Guigou-Carter, Catherine (2015-12)
Article
Open Access

The vibration reduction index of heavy junctions is predicted by means of a model based on spectral finite elements. This is equivalent to a finite element method but faster and with smaller computational costs. This ...
