Advanced nonlinear soil-structure interaction model for the seismic analysis of safety-related nuclear structures
(2024-11)
Article
Open AccessThis article proposes an advanced nonlinear soil-structure interaction methodology, for the seismic analysis of a nuclear structure. To do so, a study is performed on a nuclear reinforced concrete structure considering the ... -
AI4WATER: a digital twin for irrigated agriculture
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2024)
Conference report
Open AccessThis study presents a Digital Twin (DT) that is being created to optimize the use of the available hydric resources, and mitigate the effects of the increasing water shortage in irrigated agriculture in fields in the Urgell ... -
Characterization of free-field seismic motions for soil-structure interaction analysis of nuclear structures using enhanced transfer functions
(Elsevier, 2024-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policySoil-structure interaction is a key aspect when calculating the dynamic response of nuclear structures in front of ground motions induced by earthquakes. However, modelling the seismic response in the time-domain using ... -
Evidences of directional soil response comportment
(Universitat d'Alacant, 2023)
Conference lecture
Open AccessIn recent years, the importance of considering other peaks than the predominant in the soil response has been revendicated. One possible explanation for some of these secondary peaks in the soil response is the presence ... -
Estimation of the dynamic seismic response of buildings through transfer functions: a probabilistic approach
(National Technical University of Athens, 2023)
Conference lecture
Open AccessThe significant number of seismic ground motion records to be considered when designing or assessing civil structures is a common restriction. This is because the large computational time involved in the calculation of the ... -
Revealing the role of material properties in impact-related injuries: Investigating the influence of brain and skull density variations on head injury severity
(Elsevier Ltd, 2024-04)
Article
Open AccessTraumatic brain injuries (TBI) resulting from head impacts are a major public health concern, which prompted our research to investigate the complex relationship between the material properties of brain tissue and the ... -

(2024-03-29)
Article
Open AccessExploring the stochastic intricacies of bone microstructure is a promising way to make progress on the practical issue of bone fracture. This study investigates the fracture of human complete ribs subjected to bending and ... -
Probabilistic estimation of the dynamic response of high-rise buildings via transfer functions
(Elsevier, 2024-03)
Article
Open AccessThe significant number of seismic ground motion records to be considered when designing or assessing civil structures is a common restriction for employing advanced nonlinear dynamic methods. This is because the large ... -
Constitutive relationships for osteonal microcracking in human cortical bone using statistical mechanics
(2023-10-11)
Article
Open AccessThe post-elastic mechanical behavior of cortical bone, which is represented by extensive microcracking once the elastic regime is exceeded, has been characterized by a nonlinear constitutive relationship for osteonal ... -
Quantifying the effect of cerebral atrophy on head injury risk in elderly individuals: insights from computational biomechanics and experimental analysis of bridging veins
(2023-12-13)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe objective of this study was to quantitatively investigate the relationship between cerebral atrophy and the risk of injury in elderly individuals. To achieve this, a sophisticated computational biomechanics approach ... -
Impact of printing orientation on inter and intra-layer bonds in 3D printed thermoplastic elastomers: A study using acoustic emission and tensile tests
(Elsevier, 2023-09)
Article
Open AccessThe use of the Material Extrusion technique with Thermoplastic Elastomers is currently growing because of the large number of benefits of this family of materials. They are processable materials with high flexibility, which ... -
Improved intensity measures considering soil inelastic properties via multi-regression analysis
(Frontiers Media SA, 2023-08)
Article
Open AccessAt certain depths, the elastic properties of the ground are not affected by seismic waves. However, as they reach the surface, the soil density decreases and so does its elastic limit. This means that the expected ground ...
