L'AIRE - Laboratori Aeronàutic i Industrial de Recerca i Estudis
1) Desenvolupar activitats de recerca i transferència de tecnologia i obtenir resultats que aportin un progrés en els àmbits de les enginyeries aeronàutica i industrial. Aquest objectiu es basa en el fet del potencial multidisciplinari que, tant en recursos humans com materials, té l'ETSEIT, així com en el potencial aeronàutic que, com a conseqüència de la impartició de la nova titulació d'Enginyeria Aeronàutica, està assolint. Aquest grup de recerca permetrà alhora que tot el nou personal docent i d'investigació de l'àrea de coneixement d'Enginyeria Aeroespacial que s'incorpori a l'Escola (aquest PDI tindrà adscripció orgànica i funcional a l'Escola) pugui tenir el marc i la infraestructura adequats per a la recerca. 2) Facilitar la recerca al personal docent i d'investigació de l'ETSEIT. L'existència d'aquest grup, dirigit i tutelat per l'Escola, permet que ningú que vulgui estar integrat en un grup de recerca no quedi marginat, ja que es tracta d'un grup obert a tot el PDI de l'ETSEIT. 3) Establir col·labo
The group's aims are the following: 1) To carry out research and technology transfer activities. To achieve results that contribute to the progress of the fields of aeronautical and industrial engineering. These objectives are supported by the multidisciplinary potential, both in terms of human resources and material, of the ETSEIT, as well as the expertise in aeronautics that has been made available by the introduction of the new degree in this field. The research group will ensure that all of the School?s new academic and research staff in the field of aeronautical engineering will have an adequate framework and infrastructure in which to carry out their research. 2) To promote and facilitate the academic and research staff?s work. The group, which is directed and supervised by the School, is open to all staff members who wish to participate. 3) To collaborate with other research groups at the ETSEIT and at UPC in general. The ETSEIT holds a privileged position that enables it to unite forces, particularly

The role of computational models in mechanobiology of growing bone
(Frontiers Media SA, 2022-11-18)
Article
Open AccessEndochondral ossification, the process by which long bones grow in length, is regulated by mechanical forces. Computational models, specifically finite element models, have been used for decades to understand the role of ... -
I’m stuck! How to efficiently debug computational solid mechanics models so you can enjoy the beauty of simulations
(2023-01)
Article
Open AccessA substantial fraction of the time that computational modellers dedicate to developing their models is actually spent trouble-shooting and debugging their code. However, how this process unfolds is seldom spoken about, ... -
Coiled phononic crystal with periodic rotational locking: subwavelength bragg band gaps
(American Physical Society (APS), 2022-07-15)
Article
Open AccessPhononic crystals (PnC) are spatially periodic materials with band gaps that form by Bragg scattering of elastic waves. Within the frequency range of a band gap, wave propagation is not admitted. A long-standing limitation ... -
DISCOVERER: Final results and outcomes
(International Astronautical Federation, 2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe DISCOVERER project commenced in 2017 with the aim to advance the development of key technologies to enable the commercially viable, sustained operation of satellites in very low Earth orbits (VLEO). Funded by the ... -
Platform and system design study of a VLEO satellite platform using the IRS RF Helicon-based Plasma Thruster
(International Astronautical Federation, 2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyTo achieve a feasible lifetime of several years, most satellites are deployed in orbits higher than 400 km. Drag of residual atmosphere causes a slow orbit decay, resulting in the deorbit of the spacecraft. However, e.g. ... -
Very low Earth orbit constellations for Earth observation
(International Astronautical Federation, 2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyVery Low Earth Orbits (VLEOs), those below 450 km, present a number of benefits and challenges for the development and operation of Earth observation spacecraft at both the system and mission level. This paper examines the ... -
