Integrating temperature history into inherent strain methodology for improved distortion prediction in laser powder bed fusion
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2025-02)
Article
Open AccessPowder bed fusion–laser beam (PBF-LB) additive manufacturing enables the production of intricate, lightweight metal components aligned with Industry 4.0 and sustainable principles. However, residual stresses and distortions ... -
Defining and optimising high-fidelity models for accurate inherent strain calculation in laser powder bed fusion
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2025-02)
Article
Open AccessPowder Bed Fusion–Laser Beam (PBF-LB) is a leading technique in metal additive manufacturing, yet it continues to face challenges related to residual stresses and distortions. The inherent strain method has emerged as a ... -
Probabilistic parametric analysis of capacity, fragility and expected seismic damage of framed reinforced concrete buildings
(2025-01)
Article
Open Access1160 framed reinforced concrete buildings, holding 3–13 stories, have been modelled in a probabilistic way. Capacity spectra have been calculated and characterized by means of 5 parameters: initial stiffness, ultimate ... -
Impact behaviour of concrete specimens coated with polyurea
(Elsevier, 2025-02)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyRecently, the demand for the development of polymers with versatile properties for use in different engineering fields has increased, and one well-known material is polyurea. Owing to its elongation, sealing, and strength ... -
A novel non-invasive optical framework for simultaneous analysis of contractility and calcium in single-cell cardiomyocytes
(Elsevier, 2025-01-01)
Article
Open AccessThe use of a video method based on the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) algorithm from experimental mechanics to estimate the displacements, strain field, and sarcolemma length in a beating single-cell cardiomyocyte is ... -
El pont de l’Estat de Tortosa: passat i present
(Publicacions UPC, 2024-12-17)
Article
Open AccessThis article examines the reconstruction of the Pont de l’Estat in Tortosa following the Spanish Civil War. During the conflict, the bridge, along with other infrastructures, was destroyed by the Republican army to halt ... -

Impact testing in implant-supported prostheses and natural teeth: A systematic review of properties and performance
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-08-14)
Article
Open AccessDental implants offer an effective solution for partial and total edentulism, but mechanical and biological complications exist. Furthermore, high occlusal loads challenge implants and lead to potential failures. This ... -
Dynamic analysis with point-masses of perforated pallet rack structural members by means of the Generalized Beam Theory
(2024-06)
Article
Open AccessThis paper presents two different formulations for introducing point-masses into a dynamic problem using the Generalized Beam Theory (GBT) method. The first one implies placing a point-mass at a beam-node (with or without ... -
