A non-linear finite element method on unstructured meshes for added resistance in waves
(2018-06-15)
Article
Open AccessIn 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
(2019-05)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe 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
(2019-06-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this paper, the interlaminar stresses in open-hole laminates subjected to compressive loads are analysed using a numerical model. This model implements the Serial/Parallel Mixing Theory (S/PMT) and a Continuum Damage ... -
Use of low smoke and halogen free cables for marine fire safety design
(2018-09-20)
Article
Open AccessSafety 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
(American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2017-09)
Article
Open AccessThe 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 ... -
A probabilistic approach for seismic risk assessment based on vulnerability functions: application to Barcelona
(2019-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyRisk assessment and management is an important step towards resilient and sustainable cities. Among many other perils, both natural and manmade, seismic risk is a major threat for resilience and sustainability. In recent ... -
Stern twin-propeller effects on harbor infrastructures. Experimental analysis
(2018-11-02)
Article
Open AccessThe 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; ... -
Seakeeping with the semi-Lagrangian particle finite element method
(Springer, 2017-07)
Article
Open AccessThe 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
(2018-08-22)
Article
Open AccessThis 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 ... -

Potential economic benefits of using a weather ship routing system at Short Sea Shipping
(2018-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis contribution investigates the economic benefits of using weather ship routing on Short Sea Shipping (SSS) activities. The investigation is supported with the development of a ship routing system based on pathfinding ... -
Temporal analysis of laser beam propagation in the atmosphere using computer-generated long phase screens
(2008-02-04)
Article
Open AccessTemporal analysis of the irradiance at the detector plane is intended as the first step in the study of the mean fade time in a free optical communication system. In the present work this analysis has been performed for a ...
