(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-03-23)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThis dissertation deals with obtaining the mechanical properties of the cortical bone of the human ribs. One hundred one samples from 76 donors were tested for this study. The number of tested samples significantly ... -
Análisis beneficio costo probabilista de medidas de mitigación del riesgo por sismo
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2016-02-02)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessIn the situation to make decisions about which risk mitigation measures -RMM- to implement and the performance level required, arises the need for a quantitative analysis of benefits that may be obtained as well as the ... -
Stabilized finite element formulations for the three-field viscoelastic fluid flow problem
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2016-03-15)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe Finite Element Method (FEM) is a powerful numerical tool, that permits the resolution of problems defined by partial differential equations, very often employed to deal with the numerical simulation of multiphysics ... -
Multiscale numerical modelling of microstructured reinforced composites
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2016-02-09)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessMost of the existing materials around us can be considered composite materials, since they are composed by several phases or components at certain spatial scale. The physical and chemical properties of composites, as occurs ... -
La curva híbrida de riesgo : análisis retrospectivo y prospectivo del riesgo por fenómenos naturales
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2016-02-01)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe natural hazard risk is a contingent liability and, thus, a sovereign risk for national governments and, therefore, it is important to assess properly the potential losses in order to design suitable policies and ... -
