    Text en actes de congrés
    Accés obert
    Urban areas are in need of efficient and sustainable mobility services. Public bicycle sharing systems stand out as a promising alternative and many cities have invested in their deployment. This has led to a continuous ...

  • Autonomous vehicles: theoretical and practical challenges 

    Martínez Díaz, Margarita; Soriguera Martí, Francesc (2018)
    Text en actes de congrés
    Accés obert
    Autonomous driving is expected to revolutionize road traffic attenuating current externalities, especially accidents and congestion. Carmakers, researchers and administrations have been working on autonomous driving for ...

  • Effect of rockfall fragmentation on exposure and subsequent risk analysis 

    Matas Casado, Gerard; Corominas Dulcet, Jordi; Lantada Zarzosa, Maria de Las Nieves (2018)
    Text en actes de congrés
    Accés obert
    Rockfalls are frequent natural processes in mountain regions with the potential to produce damage. The quantitative risk analysis (QRA) is an approach increasingly used to assess risk and evaluate the performance of ...

  • On the influence of initial geometric imperfections and second order effects on the structural behavior of austenitic stainless steel frames 

    Shen, Yanfei; Chacón Flores, Rolando Antonio; Arrayago Luquin, Itsaso; Real Saladrigas, Esther (2018)
    Text en actes de congrés
    Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
    This paper presents a numerical and theoretical study from an ongoing research program focused on the structural behavior of austenitic stainless steel frames. Four different rectangular hollow sections (RHS) subjected to ...

  • An experimental study on the cyclic response of austenitic stainless steel 

    Chacón Flores, Rolando Antonio; de Marco, Mauricio; Real Saladrigas, Esther; Arrayago Luquin, Itsaso (2018)
    Text en actes de congrés
    Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
    Strain hardening is one of the key features of stainless steel for all structural applications. This property directly affects the definition of cross-sectional resistance, cross-section classification, ductility and energy ...

  • Turbulence behind 3D multi-scale sparse grids 

    Usama, Syed; Tellez Alvarez, Jackson David; Kopec, Jasek; Kwiatkowski, Kamil; Redondo Apraiz, José Manuel; Malik, Nadeem (Institute of Physics (IOP), 2018)
    Text en actes de congrés
    Accés obert
    A fundamentally new idea in grid generated turbulence is the 3D Sparse Grid (3DS) concept [N. A. Malik. Sparse 3D Multi-Scale Grid Turbulence Generator. US Patent No. US 9,599,269 B2 (2017)] which reduces the effective ...

  • Exploring paradigm shift impacts in urban mobility: autonomous vehicles and smart cities 

    Medina Tapia, Marcos Christian; Robusté Antón, Francesc (2018)
    Text en actes de congrés
    Accés obert
    Urban mobility is a dynamic system that has had a (slow) natural evolution. Scientists and engineers are currently developing new mobility technologies. A progressive paradigm shift will change everything from the fuel ...

  • Cell-DEVS modeling and simulation of artificial hydraulic fracturing of rocks in boreholes (WIP) 

    Oyelowo, I.; Wainer, G.; Echegini, N.S.; Ukeme, J.B.; Zlotnik, Sergio (Society for Computer Simulation International, 2018)
    Text en actes de congrés
    Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
    Hydraulic Fracturing is a technique used in the extraction and exploration of oil and gas. During hydraulic fracturing, a high-pressure fluid is injected into a wellbore; this fluid flows through some artificially made ...

  • Natural drainage basins as fundamental units for mine closure planning: Aurora and Pastor I quarries 

    Martín-Moreno, Cristina; Tejedor, María; Martín, José; Nicolau, José; Bladé i Castellet, Ernest; Nyssen, Sara; de Lys, Alejandro; Cermeño-Martín, Ivon; Gómez, José (2018)
    Comunicació de congrés
    Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
    The vast majority of the Earth’s ice-free land surface has been shaped by fluvial and related slope geomorphic processes. Drainage basins are consequently the most common land surface organization units. Mining operations ...

  • An overview of the European situation on quality control of existing bridges: COST Action TU1406
