Suppression of spurious frequencies in scattering problems by means of boundary algebraic and combined field equations
(2015-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyA numerical technique for solving scattering problems is presented. It is based on a boundary integral equation idea, so the unknowns are localized on the contour (in 2D case) or the surface (in 3D case) of the scattering ... -
Evaluation of the GPR frequency spectra in asphalt pavement assessment
(2015-10)
Article
Open AccessGround penetrating radar (GPR) is frequently used in pavement assessments, mainly using the evaluation of wave travel times. However, GPR data provide further information that could be used in order to determine the inner ... -
Anticipar el futuro: una gran oportunidad para la ingeniería
(2015-03)
Article
Open AccessThe author, a professor of urban planning legislation, retraces the pioneering and visionary role in contemporary planning of Udefons Cerda, the progressive urban planner responsible for designing Modern Barcelona. This ... -
Assessment of the adhesive capacity of asphalt binders in the aggregate-binder bonds by means of new methodology
(2015)
Article
Open AccessThe main goal of this study is to present a new methodology to characterize the adhesive capacity (cohesion and adhesion capacity) of asphalt binders by means of new mechanical parameters. This methodology is based on the ... -
Candilis-Josic-Woods y Le Corbusier: “Las ventanas no son un hueco en la pared”
(2014-12)
Article
Open AccessThis article analyses the comparison between several of Candilis-Josic-Woods’ representative projects between 1947 and 1955 and Le Corbusier’s Villas and Unité works. Through this analysis it establishes the interaction ... -
Using spectral finite elements for parametric analysis of the vibration reduction index of heavy junctions oriented to flanking transmissions and EN-12354 prediction method
(2015-12)
Article
Open AccessThe vibration reduction index of heavy junctions is predicted by means of a model based on spectral finite elements. This is equivalent to a finite element method but faster and with smaller computational costs. This ... -
Stopover and hub-and-spoke shipment strategies in less-than-truckload carriers
(2015-04)
Article
Open AccessThis paper presents a methodology to identify when freight consolidation strategies are cost-efficient in the less-than-truckload carriers operations. Shipments are assigned based on proximity and cost criteria to build ... -
Numerical estimation of coupling loss factors in building acoustics
(2013-10)
Article
Open AccessA study on the optimal procedure for obtaining SEA (statistical energy analysis) coupling loss factors (CLF) numerically is presented. The energies of an SEA system with two subsystems (one excited, the other one unexcited) ... -
The block Gauss-Seidel method in sound transmission problems
(2010-03)
Article
Open AccessSound transmission through partitions can be modeled as an acoustic fluid–elastic structure interaction problem. The block Gauss–Seidel iterative method is used in order to solve the finite element linear system of equations. ... -
The finite strip method for acoustic and vibroacoustic problems
(2011-12)
Article
Open AccessThe finite strip method, widely employed in structural mechanics, is extended to solve acoustic and vibroacoustic problems. The acoustic part of the formulation, including how to handle the most typical acoustic boundary ... -
The finite layer method for modelling the sound transmission through double walls
(2012-10)
Article
Open AccessThe finite layer method (FLM) is presented as a discretisation technique for the computation of noise transmission through double walls. It combines a finite element method (FEM) discretisation in the direction perpendicular ... -
A deterministic model of impact noise transmission through structural connections based on modal analysis
(2011-01-17)
Article
Open AccessVibration transmission through structural connections is modelled in a deterministic way by means of modal analysis. This model is used first to study the effect of elastic joints across the floor in the transmission of ...
