Numerical simulation of particle impact drilling (PID) systems: a one-way coupled approach
(Springer, 2022-07)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyA numerical technique based on a CFD-DEM method is presented for the analysis of particle impact drilling (PID) systems. The method is built from a preexisting finite element Navier–Stokes solver for the fluid phase and a ... -
PFEM formulation for thermo-coupled FSI analysis: application to nuclear core melt accident
(2017-10)
Article
Open AccessThe aim of this paper is to present a Lagrangian formulation for thermo-coupled fluid–structure interaction (FSI) problems and to show its applicability to the simulation of hypothetical scenarios of a nuclear core melt ... -
Novel seismic design solution for underground structures. Case study of a 2-story 3-bay subway station
(Elsevier, 2022-02)
Article
Open AccessThis paper proposes an innovative seismic design approach for shallow rectangular cut-and-cover underground subway or railway stations. The traditional approach is to design rigid frame-like structures by connecting rigidly ... -
Factors influencing Safety on Construction Projects (fSCPs): types and categories
(2021-10)
Article
Open AccessDue to the fact of activity, environment and work dynamics, the construction industry is characterised by high accident rates. Different initiatives have emerged to reduce these figures, which focus on using new methodologies ... -
Buildair H75-SAEI Hangar
(2021-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn July 2019, the largest inflatable hangar of the world has been installed by Buildair in Jeddah. Its main function is to shelter and maintain aircrafts such as Airbus 330 or Boeing 777-200ER, during an expected lifetime ... -
A FIC-FEM procedure for the shallow water equations over partially wet domains
(2022-02-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyWe present a stable finite element formulation for the shallow water equations using the finite increment calculus (FIC) procedure. This research is focused on the stability properties of the FIC technique and uses linear ... -
A simple and effective 1D-element discrete-based method for computational bone remodeling
(Gordon and Breach Science Publishers, 2022-02)
Article
Open AccessIn-silico models applied to bone remodeling are widely used to investigate bone mechanics, bone diseases, bone-implant interactions, and also the effect of treatments of bone pathologies. This paper proposes a new methodology ... -
Study of the aerodynamic forces on a simplified shape X-43 aircraft under supersonic conditions, design optimization
(2020-01-22)
Article
Open AccessThe paper focuses on the shape optimization, based on the resultant aerodynamic forces, of a simplified X-43 aircraft. The equations of oblique shock waves and Prandtl-Meyer expansion waves, along with the improvement of ... -
Comparing hysteretic energy and ductility uniform annual failure rate spectra for traditional and a spectral shape-based intensity measure
(Hindawi, 2021-01-01)
Article
Open AccessIn this study, with the objective to develop a reliability-based seismic design tool, ductility and dissipated hysteretic energy uniform annual failure rate (UAFR) spectra are obtained and compared using the spectral ... -

(Elsevier, 2022-02)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper describes the research performed within the scope of H2020 project FIBRESHIP in the development and validation of a thermo-mechanical model to assess the fire performance of composite structures. A one-dimensional ... -
Ductility improvement of adjustable pallet rack speed-lock connections: Experimental study
(2022-01)
Article
Open AccessThis paper presents seismic cantilever monotonic and cyclic tests of speed-lock (boltless) beam-to-upright con-nections of adjustable pallet rack systems; the objective of the monotonic tests is to obtain the bounds that ... -
Numerical investigation on a seismic testing campaign on adjustable pallet rack speed-lock connections
(Elsevier, 2022-02)
Article
Open AccessThis paper presents numerical simulations of a suite of cantilever seismic tests of speed-lock connections between beam and upright members of adjustable pallet rack systems. The tested specimens differ in the endplate-to-beam ...
