  Red Aulas CIMNE: espacios de colaboración en temas docentes y de I+D en distintas universidades, empresas y centros de investigación de diversos países 

  Oñate Ibáñez de Navarra, Eugenio; Guzmán, Francisco; Bugeda Castelltort, Gabriel; Corestein Poupeau, Georgina; Zárate Araiza, José Francisco (Escola Universitària d'Enginyeria Tècnica Industrial de Barcelona (EUETIB), 2004)
  Conference report
  Open Access

  La mayoría de los avances de I+D que hoy en día se producen quedan limitados en función de necesidades locales. La causa principal es la falta de medios para proyectar la I+D hacia entornos donde pueda ser exitosamente ...

  Global search methods for nonlinear optimisation: a new probabilistic-stochastic approach 

  Bugeda Castelltort, Gabriel; Balsa-Canto, E; Thamotheram, C; Oñate Ibáñez de Navarra, Eugenio; Zárate Araiza, José Francisco (International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), 2003)
  Conference report
  Open Access

  In this work the problem of overcoming local minima in the solution of nonlinear optimisation problems is addressed. As a first step, the existing nonlinear local and global optimisation methods are reviewed so as to ...
• Numerical homogenization and experimental validation of a composite plate using modal analysis 

  Pérez Martínez, Marco Antonio; Gil Espert, Lluís; Hammami, Farah; Neifar, Mondher; Chafra, Moez (2010)
  Conference report
  Restricted access - confidentiality agreement

  A Finite Element (FE) simulation and an experimental (EXP) test are performed for the validation of the homogenized global elastic properties of a composite material plate. Composite material homogenization is based on ...
• A micromechanical approach to modeling the effect of impact induced damage on the vibration response of CFRP laminates 

  Pérez Martínez, Marco Antonio; Gil Espert, Lluís; Oller Martínez, Sergio Horacio; Felippa, Carlos (2015)
  Conference report
  Restricted access - publisher's policy

  This work deals with modeling the effect of low-velocity impact damage upon the vibration response of CFRP laminates through a micro-mechanical description of the induced internal damage. The serial-parallel (SP) continuum ...

  Analysis of different types of cementitious-based composites used as shear strengthening system for reinforced concrete beams 

  Escrig Pérez, Christian; Bernat Masó, Ernest; Gil Espert, Lluís (Universidad de Cantabria, 2016)
  Conference report
  Open Access

  The global tendency to apply sustainable criteria in most of the productive fields and the limited durability and the pathologies that reinforced concrete elements suffer are aspects that explain the increasing necessity ...

  Modelling unreinforced, TRM-strengthened and FRP-strengthened brick masonry walls subjected to eccentric compressive load 

  Bernat Masó, Ernest; Gil Espert, Lluís; Roca Fabregat, Pedro (2015)
  Conference report
  Open Access

  The mixed bending/buckling collapse mode of brick masonry walls might be prevented by installing strengthening systems which provide tensile strength. Among others, the Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM) and Fibre Reinforced ...
• Evaluation of deflections for PFRP-RC hybrid beams with complete and partial shear connection 

  Neagoe, Catalin Andrei; Gil Espert, Lluís (2014)
  Conference report
  Restricted access - publisher's policy

  The current paper presents various analytical models suitable for the evaluation of hybrid beam deflections, ranging from simple to complex expressions, which can be applied in common design practice. The formulations are ...

• Bending performance of concrete beams strengthened with textile reinforced mortar TRM 

  Gil Espert, Lluís; Escrig Pérez, Christian; Bernat Masó, Ernest (2013)
  Conference report
  Restricted access - publisher's policy

  This work presents a method of strengthening concrete structures based on textiles of high strength and mortars. The combination of textiles and mortars produces a new composite material with cementitious matrix. This ...
