Crashworthiness study on hybrid energy absorbers as vertical struts in civil aircraft fuselage designs
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2019)
[Abstract:] This research concerns the crashworthiness study and enhancement of commercial aircraft fuselage structures by incorporating crushable hybrid energy absorbers to work as vertical struts. To assess their ...
An Open-Source Framework for Aircraft Damage Simulation in Engine Failure Events
(Elsevier, 2022)
[Abstract] The aerospace industry demands designs capable of withstanding the simultaneous collapse of several structural elements. Examples of this failure scenario are propeller blade or uncontained engine rotor failures, ...
Comparación de la seguridad al deslizamiento de seis presas españolas. Criterios de diseño empleados frente al estado del arte actual
(CSIC, 2021)
[Resumen:] Se ha desarrollado y aplicado un método simplificado para reevaluar de forma más precisa la seguridad al deslizamiento en seis presas de gravedad y contrafuertes en base a los resultados de modelos lineales ...
Study of a static and vertically free-to-oscillate 4:1 rectangular cylinder by means of 2D URANS simulations
(WIT Press, 2018)
[Abstract:] Flexible structures, such as cable-supported bridges, are prone to suffer from vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) under wind flow, as their span lengths are steadily growing in the last decades. VIV is a phenomenon ...
Wave Celerity in Hydraulic Transients Computation for CIPP-Rehabilitated Pipes
(WIT Press, 2020)
[Abstract] Most of the water pipe infrastructure is outdated; therefore, frequent maintenance and repair works are required. To speed up the rehabilitation work and to have a more sustainable and efficient approach, ...
Efficient Modal-Based Method for Analyzing Nonlinear Aerostatic Stability of Long-Span Bridges
(Elsevier, 2021)
[Abstract] An efficient method for analyzing the nonlinear aerostatic stability of long-span bridges using a modal formulation is proposed. First, a simplified linear version defined as modal-based approach is introduced, ...
3D LES simulations of a static and vertically free-to-oscillate 4:1 rectangular cylinder: effects of the grid resolution
(Elsevier, 2019)
[Abstract:] In the present study, the aerodynamics of the flow fields around a static and vertically free-to-oscillate 4:1 rectangular cylinder are analysed by means of 3D LES simulations, adopting the OneEqEddy viscosity ...
Aerodynamic performance of twin-box decks: a parametric study on gap width effects based on validated 2D URANS simulations
(Elsevier, 2018)
[Abstract:] 2D URANS simulations are conducted aiming to study the aerodynamic performance under smooth flow of twin-box decks depending on the gap distance between girders. The Stonecutters Bridge is taken as the reference ...
Multi-bubble scheme and structural analysis of a hypersonic stratospheric flight vehicle
(Elsevier, 2022)
[Abstract:] The STRATOFLY MR3 vehicle is the main objective of the STRATOFLY project, which aims to develop a hypersonic air breathing concept capable of covering antipodal routes in less than three hours. The aircraft ...
A simplified CFD approach for bluff-body aerodynamics under small scale free stream turbulent flow
(Elsevier, 2023)
[Abstract:] The study of free stream turbulence (FST) effects on bluff bodies by means of computational approaches has been addressed so far mainly applying scale resolving methods adopting a three-dimensional domain, which ...
