Stress monitoring of cylindrical structures using guided waves
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-06-29)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThis thesis presents some approaches for guided wave based stress monitoring as a part of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). SHM systems include different levels, from damage detection to prognosis, however, this work is ... -
Scalable domain decomposition methods for finite element approximations of transient and electromagnetic problems
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-02-18)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe main object of study of this thesis is the development of scalable and robust solvers based on domain decomposition (DD) methods for the linear systems arising from the finite element (FE) discretization of transient ... -
Experimental characterization of turbulance in steep rough streams
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-02-01)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessTorrential flows have so far been studied less than have river flows, due to the difficulty of faithfully reproducing them in the laboratory, and the few field measurements available. For this reason, this present research ... -

Optimization of yard operations in container terminals from an energy efficiency approach
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-06-25)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThis Thesis addresses common operational issues related to maritime container terminals. In the last decades, containerization of maritime transportation has grown very rapidly, forcing terminal operators to cope with ... -
Multivariate characterization of wave storms in coastal areas
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-05-22)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessWave-storms are the responsible of the main changes in the Coast. Their detailed characterization results in a better design of any marine structure. The most common approach to describe wave-storms is to simplify the event ... -
A parallel algorithm for deformable contact problems
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-04-27)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessIn 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 ... -
Previsión de precipitación a muy corto plazo combinando técnicas de extrapolación de datos radar y modelos meteorológicos
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-02-22)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessRainfall nowcasting based on the extrapolation of most recent radar rainfall fields usually shows better skill than NWP models for short lead times, since it benefits from observations of the initial rainfall state. In ... -
Development of mechanism-based models for resistance spot weld failure simulation of multi-material advanced high strength steel sheets
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-12-05)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe automotive industry is constantly involved in the development of new projects aimed at reducing weight, fuel consumptions and costs while improving passengers' safety. In order to achieve these increasing demands, ... -
Anàlisi quantitatiu de la velocitat dels vehicles a motor participants en atropellaments en zona urbana : modelització de la sensibilitat de la variable evitabilitat a les variacions de la velocitat específica del vehicle i de la velocitat màxima permesa de la via
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-09-07)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessRoad traffic accidents lead to a number of significant problems, which are clearly reflected in the social costs (injuries, repercussions, deaths, etc.) and economic costs (prevention, healthcare, lost profits, etc.). This ... -
Evaluación y análisis de sus propiedades de su durabilidad y de la aplicación de los morteros reciclados que utilizan materiales secundarios
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-07-07)
Doctoral thesis
Restricted access - author's decisionIn recent years the increase in waste generated by various sectors has caused problems of waste management that mostly have as final destination the landfills; however, this option it is unacceptable for the economic and ... -
Nowcasting probabilísitico basado en observaciones de lluvia con radar meteorológico
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-07-05)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe nowcasting of rainfall based on the extrapolation of the radar precipitation field is a common technique used in different operational and research centers. However, this deterministic forecasting technique is subject ...
