GIES - Geofísica i Enginyeria Sísmica
Durant el periode 2014-2017, el grup ha participat en 7 projectes RDi competitius i 1 projecte d'innovació docent. Un membre del GIES pertany al comitè organitzador de l'Action COST TU 1208 -Civil Engineering Applications (Unió Europea) i ha estat membre de l'organització del congrés internacional d'aquesta Action COST a Barcelona. El grup ha publicat 27 articles en revistes indexades JCR, 25 articles i collaboracions en revistes no indexades, 2 capítols de llibre i 28 actas i presentacions a congressos. També consten 34 projectes no competitius o convenis amb administracions o empreses.
The group's aims are research, outreach, training and results transfer in fields related to geophysics and earthquake engineering.

Statistical mechanics of bone damage: a constitutive model
(2025-05-03)
Article
Open AccessAfter the elastic regime is surpassed, cortical bone exhibits significant microcracking in its post-elastic mechanical behavior. This work develops a thermodynamically consistent, nonlinear constitutive model based on ... -
Effect of strain rate on the mechanical properties of human ribs: Insights from complete rib bending tests
(Elsevier, 2025-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis study reassesses the mechanical properties of cortical bone by conducting complete rib bending tests to evaluate the effect of strain rate (¿) on key mechanical parameters. The research involved specimens, divided ... -
