(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-04-27)
Tesi
Accés obertThis research was conducted with the aim of developing a methodological tool, that allows a sustainable urban evaluation within the environmental premise, from the analysis of bioclimatic characteristics and the built ... -
The role of population games in the design of optimization-based controllers: a large-scale insight
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-05-17)
Tesi
Accés obertThis thesis is mainly devoted to the study of the role of evolutionary-game theory in the design of distributed optimization-based controllers. Game theoretical approaches have been used in several engineering fields, e.g., ... -
On the fracture behavior of ductile polymer films : notch quality, essential work of fracture, J-integral, and crack tip opening displacement
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-04-13)
Tesi
Accés obertPolymers have a wide range of applications. Their ability to be shaped into multiple forms makes it possible to obtain polymer films, which are highly used in industries such as food and pharmaceuticals. Characterization ... -
A parallel algorithm for deformable contact problems
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-04-27)
Tesi
Accés obertIn the field of nonlinear computational solid mechanics, contact problems deal with the deformation of separate bodies which interact when they come in touch. Usually, these problems are formulated as constrained minimization ... -
The modernization of an Iranian city : the case study of Kermanshah
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-04-13)
Tesi
Accés obertThe notion of the Islamic city evoked in comparison with European cities and their modernization process and often criticized for its Eurocentric nature, acknowledges the characteristics’ existence that are shared by ... -
An upwind cell centred finite volume method for large strain explicit solid dynamics in OpenFOAM
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-04-20)
Tesi
Accés obertIn practical engineering applications involving extremely complex geometries, meshing typically constitutes a large portion of the overall design and analysis time. In the computational mechanics community, the ability to ... -
