  A simplified model for the dynamic analysis and power generation of a floating offshore wind turbine 

  Lerch, Markus; Prada Gil, Mikel de; Molins i Borrell, Climent (EDP Sciences, 2018)
  Conference report
  Open Access

  This paper presents a simplified model for the dynamic analysis of a floating off-shore wind turbine (FOWT), which can be suitable for early feasibility and pre-engineering studies, where the complete system has to modeled ...
• Influence of geometry of cylindrical samples in the mechanical characterization of existing brickwork 

  Segura, Jorge; Pelà, Luca; Roca Fabregat, Pedro (Springer, Cham, 2019)
  Conference report

  Digital twins are understood as digital replica of physical models whose behavior can be observed simultaneously (digitally and physically) in real time. These tools are increasingly used in advanced industries for several ...
• Flexural buckling of stainless steel angle columns 

  Arrayago Luquin, Itsaso; Gouveia, Maria; Chacón Flores, Rolando Antonio; Real Saladrigas, Esther (2018)
  Conference report
  Restricted access - publisher's policy

  The flexural buckling behavior of columns with open sections such as angles is complex due to their inherent coupled torsional-flexural buckling effects that are typically found for intermediate member slenderness. Research ...
