L'objectiu d'aquest grup és consolidar institucionalment una relació acadèmica entre investigadors que fa més de disset anys que existeix. Actualment les persones d'aquest grup participen en catorze projectes nacionals i vint projectes europeus. També han col·laborat en la realització de 60 cursos (30-40 hores), 220 seminaris i 51 conferències internacionals.
Per mitjà d'aquesta nova estructura administrativa, aquest grup de recerca podrà emprendre projectes conjunts sota un nom propi i amb una massa crítica que permetrà afrontar nous i més grans reptes dins de la recerca bàsica i aplicada.

The objective of this group is to institutionally consolidate the academic relationship of researchers who have been working together for more than 17 years. The members of this group are currently participating in 14 national projects and 20 European projects. They have also collaborated in the teaching of 60 courses (of between 30 and 40 hours each), 220 seminars and 51 international conferences. The establishment of this group will enable its researchers to propose and carry out joint projects under its name and with a critical mass that will allow them to take on greater challenges within their basic and applied research.

  • An accurate nonlocal bonded discrete element method for nonlinear analysis of solids: application to concrete fracture tests 

    Celigueta Jordana, Miguel Ángel; Latorre Sánchez, Juan Salvador; Arrufat Garcia, Ferran; Oñate Ibáñez de Navarra, Eugenio (Springer, 2020-05)
    Article
    Open Access
    We present a numerical procedure for elastic and nonlinear analysis (including fracture situations) of solid materials and structures using the discrete element method. It can be applied to strongly cohesive frictional ...
  • A plastic-damage model for concrete 

    Lubliner, Jacob; Oliver Olivella, Xavier; Oller Martínez, Sergio Horacio; Oñate Ibáñez de Navarra, Eugenio (1989)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    In this paper a constitutive model based on an internal variable-formulation of plasticity theory for the non-linear analysis of concrete is presented. The model uses a new yield criterion which matches experimental data ...
  • A consistent characteristic length for smeared cracking models 

    Oliver Olivella, Xavier (John Wiley & sons, 1989-02)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    A numerical scheme for crack modelling by means of continuous displacement fields is presented. In two-dimensional problems a crack is modelled as a limiting case of two singular lines (with continuous displacements, but ...
  • A computational model for progressive cracking in large dams due to the swelling of concrete 

    Cervera Ruiz, Miguel; Oliver Segura, José; Herrero, E.; Oñate Ibáñez de Navarra, Eugenio (1990-09)
    Article
    Open Access
    The paper presents a computational model for the analysis of large concrete gravity dams subjected to severe damage due to internal actions. It has been observed in several operating concrete dams that the combined effects ...
