Technical-economic analysis, modeling and optimization of floating offshore wind farms
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-03-09)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe offshore wind sector has grown significantly during the last decades driven by the increasing demand for clean energy and to reach defined energy targets based on renewable energies. As the wind speeds tend to be faster ... -
Hybrid CPU/GPU implementation for the FE2 multi-scale method for composite problems
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-01-30)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThis thesis aims to develop a High-Performance Computing implementation to solve large composite materials problems through the use of the FE2 multi-scale method. Previous works have not been able to scale the FE2 strategy ... -
Modeling present and future freeway management strategies : variable speed limits, lane-changing and platooning of connected autonomous vehicles
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-10-29)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessFreeway traffic management is necessary to improve capacity and reduce congestion, especially in metropolitan freeways where the rush period lasts several hours per day. Traffic congestion implies delays and an increase ... -
Decision analysis under uncertainity for sustainable development
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-10-31)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessPolicy-making for sustainable development becomes more efficient when it is reliably backed by evidence-based decision analysis. Concretely, this is crucial in the planning of public services delivery. By translating "raw" ... -
Monotonicity-preserving finite element methods for hyperbolic problems
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-12-17)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThis thesis covers the development of monotonicity preserving finite element methods for hyperbolic problems. In particular, scalar convection-diffusion and Euler equations are used as model problems for the discussion in ... -
Identifying and managing hotspots to extreme events : application to NW Mediterranean conditions
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-11-05)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe impact of coastal storms is one of the costliest forms of natural disaster, as it affects a particularly valuable fringe both from the socioeconomic and ecologic perspectives. In addition, storm-induced erosion and ... -
Computational vademecums for lattice materials using algebraic PGD
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-09-24)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThis dissertation is motivated by the concept of materials by design. Focusing on structures, this states that the properties in a mechanical component are not only inherited by its constituent material, but also by the ... -
Design of reliable schedules and control strategies for improving bus system performance
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-09-10)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessHigh-level service bus systems, even though in many different forms and local particularities, have been spread out around the globe over the last decades, driven by the administration and the transport authority, and in ... -
Experimental analysis of soil cracking due to environmental conditions
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-09-09)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThis thesis presents an experimental approach on the subject of cracking in soils due to changes in environmental conditions, where research is mainly directed to the soil-air interface and the effect of boundary conditions. ... -
Zero-thickness interface elements in petroleum geomechanics : sand production and hydraulic fracture
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-09-18)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThis thesis describes the extension of the Finite Element Method with zero-thickness interface elements (FEM+z) to 3D, large and complex problems in geomaterials, with special interest in petroleum geomechanics. This general ... -
Robust structural damage detection by using statistical hybrid algorithms
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-07-15)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThis thesis presents the results of applying a statistical hybrid approach for structural health monitoring using piezo actuating signals. Where, by combining statistical processing based on Principal Component Analysis ... -
