    Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of bridges is getting special attention of infrastructure management agencies, due to its success in minimizing maintenance costs. The acquisition of structural behaviour data and its ...

  • Low-cost tracking system to infer fishing activity from small scale fisheries in Scotland 

    Mujal Colilles, Anna; Mendo, Tania; Swift, Rene; James, Mark; Crowe, Swithun; McCann, Patrick (Taylor & Francis, 2022)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Large Scale Fisheries (LSF), with Length Over All (LOA) larger than 12 to 15 m are gener- ally subject to national and international regulations that require they carry some form of tracking system that is capable of ...

  • Numerical simulation of wave interaction with a suspended cylinder using OpenFOAM 

    Wang, Ming; Mujal Colilles, Anna; Molins i Borrell, Climent (Taylor & Francis, 2022)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    The objective of the present work is to investigate the hydrodynamic loads of a fixed cylinder subjected to regular waves inside a wave flume using OpenFOAM. The suspended cylinder can be considered as a simplification of ...

  • Fatigue analysis of a naval composite structure 

    Jurado Granados, Joel; Martínez García, Javier; Barbu, Lucia Gratiela; Capua, Daniel di (CRC Press, 2020)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    The use of composite materials in marine industry has many potential benefits, such as lower weight. However, there are still some failure mechanisms, such as fatigue, that are not yet completely under- stood. This work ...

  • Maneuvering and operational strategies using AIS data 

    Mujal Colilles, Anna; Bagés Yáñez, Carolina; Fonollosa Magrinyà, Jordi (CRC Press, 2020)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a transmitter information system mandatory for ma- rine traffic. Although it was originally designed to help vessels in avoiding collisions, AIS data can be used as a decision-making ...
