  A non-linear finite element method on unstructured meshes for added resistance in waves 

  García Espinosa, Julio; Serván Camas, Borja (2018-06-15)
  Article
  Open Access

  In this work a finite element method is proposed to solve the problem of estimating the added resistance of a ship in waves in the time domain and using unstructured meshes. Two different schemes are used to integrate the ...
• Methodology for the analysis of post-tensioned structures using a constitutive serial-parallel rule of mixtures: large scale non-linear analysis 

  Barbu, Lucia Gratiela; Cornejo Velázquez, Alejandro; Martínez García, Javier; Oller Martínez, Sergio Horacio; Barbat Barbat, Horia Alejandro (2019-05)
  Article

  The main purpose of this paper is to develop a reliable method based on a three-dimensional (3D) finite-element (FE) model to simulate the constitutive behaviour of reinforced concrete structures strengthened with ...
• Numerical analysis of interlaminar stresses in open-hole laminates under compression 

  Solis, A.; Sanchez Saez, S.; Martínez García, Javier; Barbero Pozuelo, Enrique (2019-06-01)
  Article

  Use of low smoke and halogen free cables for marine fire safety design 

  Casals Torrens, Pau; Castells Sanabra, Marcel·la (2018-09-20)
  Article
  Open Access

  Safety of shipping is a growing concern. The causes of shipping casualties are various. A fire on a ship is one of the most hazardous incidents which can happen on board and a common cause of damages and ...

  Procedures based on composite FEM technology for the resolution of concrete-framed structures with masonry in-fills: comparison with Mexican building code 

  Escudero Torres, Cuauhtemoc; Oller Martínez, Sergio Horacio; Martínez García, Javier; Barbat Barbat, Horia Alejandro (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2017-09)
  Article
  Open Access

  The construction of confined masonry buildings has become a good choice to meet the housing needs of low-income families inbig cities. Despite this, current building codes for such construction allow the use of highly ...

  Stern twin-propeller effects on harbor infrastructures. Experimental analysis 

  Mujal Colilles, Anna; Castells Sanabra, Marcel·la; Llull Marroig, Antoni Ignaci; Gironella Cobos, Xavier; Martínez de Osés, Francesc Xavier (2018-11-02)
  Article
  Open Access

  The growth of marine traffic in harbors, and the subsequent increase in vessel and propulsion system sizes, produces three linked problems at the harbor basin area: (i) higher erosion rates damaging docking structures; ...

  Nadukandi, Prashanth; Serván Camas, Borja; Becker, Pablo; García Espinosa, Julio (Springer, 2017-07)
  Article
  Open Access

  The application of the semi-Lagrangian Particle Finite Element Method (SL–PFEM) for the seakeeping sim-ulation of the Wave Adaptive Modular Vehicle under spray generating conditions is presented. The time integration of ...

  Adaptive and off-line techniques for non-linear multiscale analysis 

  Zaghi, Stefano; Martínez García, Javier; Rossi, Riccardo; Petracca, Massimo (2018-08-22)
  Article
  Open Access

  This paper presents two procedures, based on the numerical multiscale theory, developed to predict the mechanical non-linear response of composite materials under monotonically increasing loads. Such procedures are designed ...
