Impact of printing orientation on inter and intra-layer bonds in 3D printed thermoplastic elastomers: A study using acoustic emission and tensile tests
(Elsevier, 2023-09-22)
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 ... -
Time domain deconvolution in nonlinear elastoplastic soil deposits
(Elsevier, 2023-09)
Article
Open AccessThe paper presents an iterative procedure for the time domain deconvolution in nonlinear elastoplastic materials. The approach is intended for the generation of input motions for dynamic soil–structure interaction (DSSI) ... -
Relation between mechanical and densimetric properties to fractal dimension in human rib cortical bone
(2023-07)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyNumerous prior studies hypothesized a power-law relationship () between cortical bone Young's modulus (E) and density (¿) with an exponent , that has not been previously justified in the literature on a theoretical level. ... -
A strain rate dependent model with decreasing Young’s Modulus for cortical human bone
(Institute of Physics (IOP), 2023-05-11)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis research studies the dynamic behavior of human cortical bone specimens and investigates their mechanical properties using uniaxial tensile tests. The main experimental finding is that in the range of strain rate ... -
A probabilistic model for murder weapon identification using stab-marks in human ribs
(2023-02-10)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe aim of this article is to provide a scientific and statistical basis to identify the murder weapon in stabbing cases from the geometric characteristics of the stab-marks left on human ribs. For this purpose, a quantitative ... -
Analysis of the GPR signal for moisture detection: application to heritage buildings
(2022-11-08)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyMoisture is one of the main causes of degradation of heritage buildings. Early detection of zones affected by moisture is crucial information for preservation and maintenance of those structures. Ground-penetrating radar ... -
Background clutter amplitude and frequency of GPR signals to analyse water content in sedimentary deposits: Urban infrastructure environment
(Elsevier, 2022-09-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policySoil site studies are crucial in the analysis of seismic hazard in populated areas. This study focusses on the use of the Ground Penetrating Radar as a non-destructive geophysical method to analysis the water content of a ... -
Estimators for structural damage detection using principal component analysis
(2022-09)
Article
Open AccessStructural damage detection is an important issue in conservation. In this research, principal component analysis (PCA) has been applied to the temporal variation of modal frequencies obtained from a dynamic test of a ... -
Probabilistic seismic assessment of a high-rise URM building
(Elsevier, 2022-01-01)
Article
Open AccessAccording to the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015–2030), disasters have demonstrated that the recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction phase, which needs to be prepared ahead of a disaster, is a critical ... -
Time trends, irregularity and multifractal structure on the monthly rainfall regime at Barcelona, NE Spain, years 1786–2019
(Wiley, 2022-06-30)
Article
Open AccessA long and complete series of monthly rainfall amounts corresponding to Barcelona city (Catalonia, NE Spain), exceeding two centuries (years 1786–2019), is analysed in detail. The obtained results of periodicity (annual ... -
Multi-regression analysis to enhance the predictability of the seismic response of buildings
(2022-04)
Article
Open AccessSeveral methodologies for assessing seismic risk extract information from the statistical relationship between the intensity of ground motions and the structural response. The first group is represented by intensity measures ... -
Rainfall regime trends at annual and monthly scales in Catalonia (NE Spain) and indications of CO2 emissions effects
(2021-11)
Article
Open AccessThe pluviometric regime in the Western Mediterranean and concretely in Catalonia (NE Spain) is characterised by irregular amounts at monthly and annual scales, sometimes with copious short episodes causing foods and, ...
