Effects of strain aging in NiTi SMA wire for dampers
(Elsevier, 2015)
Article
Open AccessThe thermo-mechanical properties of Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) as smart materials suggest their application as actuators, but also as dampers, thanks to the high damping properties during the hysteresis of the thermo-elastic ... -
A techno-economic optimization model of a biomass-based CCHP/heat pump system under evolving climate conditions
(Elsevier, 2020-08-07)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyAn innovative modelling approach for the design of biomass-based, solar-assisted combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) and heat pump (HP) systems for various climate scenarios is proposed in this work. The modelling ... -
Built in dampers for stayed cables in bridges via SMA. The SMARTeR-ESF project: a mesoscopic and macroscopic experimental analysis with numerical simulations
(Elsevier, 2013-04)
Article
Open AccessShape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are good candidates for solid-state dampers appropriate for the oscillations of bridge stay cables because of their large recoverable strain, hysteresis and reasonable fatigue-life. This work ... -
Radiant glass façade technology: thermal and comfort performance based on experimental monitoring of outdoor test cells
(2020-09)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyFully glazed façades on commercial buildings have a significant impact on the thermal comfort of the occupants. Discomfort caused by thermal asymmetry can be addressed with a commercial glass curtain wall equipped with ... -

Article
Open AccessEste artículo se enfoca en expresar algunas problemáticas con las que se encuentra la implementación de algunos sistemas de climatización pasiva para proyectos habitacionales ubicados en zonas climáticas cálido-húmedas, ... -
3E-analysis of a bio-solar CCHP system for the Andaman Islands, India: a case study
(2019-03)
Article
Open AccessEnergy services are especially expensive on remote islands due to longer and more unstable fuel supply chains. In this paper, different renewable energy systems utilizing locally available biomass and solar energy are ... -
La luz, un sabor inolvidable
(2017-01-20)
Article
Open AccessLa iluminación natural es un parámetro de diseño, el cual permite configurar diferentes ambientes interiores con bajo consumo energético. Actividades con una vista-lateral son muy comunes. Es una de las más antiguas ... -
Climatic performance of urban textures: analysis tools for a Mediterranean urban context
(2019-02-15)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyUrban heat island effect is almost always neglected in building energy simulations, due to difficulties in obtaining site-specific climate data with a district-scale resolution. This study aims at filling this gap for the ... -
Graphical approach to assess urban quality: mapping walkability based on the TOD-standard
(2018-06-01)
Article
Open AccessGraphical expression through mapping can be an essential tool to conduct urban analysis, capable of expressing contextual spatial distribution and providing complementary information to numerical analysis. Although urban ...
