• Experimental and computational studies on the performance of solar trackers under vortex shedding, torsional divergence, and flutter 

  Quintela Suárez, Juan; Jurado, José Ángel; Rapela Ponte, Carlos; Álvarez Naveira, Antonio José; Roca Rodríguez, Miguel; Hernández, Santiago; Cid Montoya, Miguel; López Rodríguez, Juan María; Ruiz Moreno, Antonio Jesús; Moreno Echarri, Itxaso; Jiménez Romero, Sergio (WIT Press, 2020)

  [Abstract:] The current development of renewable energies has originated a number of new structural typologies that are the physical support of the energy production systems. Photovoltaic energy is a very mature source and ...

• Energy absorption of aluminium extrusions filled with cellular materials under axial crushing: study of the interaction effect 

  Paz Méndez, Javier; Costas, Miguel; Delgado Martín, Jordi; Romera, Luis; Díaz, J. (MDPI, 2020)

  [Abstract:] This investigation focuses on the interaction effect during the quasi-static axial crushing of circular and square thin-walled aluminium extrusions filled with polymeric foam or cork. The increment in the ...

• Wave celerity in hydraulic transients computation for CIPP-rehabilitated pipes 

  Evangelista, F.; Hernández, Santiago; Mambretti, Stefano; Parola, D. (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  [Abstract:] Most of the water pipe infrastructure is outdated; therefore, frequent maintenance and repair works are required.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, ...

• Testing and simulation of additively manufactured AlSi10Mg components under quasi-static loading 

  Costas, Miguel; Morin, David; Lucio Alonso, Mario de; Langseth, Magnus (Elsevier, 2020)

  [Abstract:] An experimental and numerical study on the quasi-static loading of AlSi10Mg square boxes produced by selective laser melting (SLM) was carried out. The goal was to evaluate the applicability of common finite ...

• Crashworthiness analysis and enhancement of aircraft structures under vertical impact scenarios 

  Paz Méndez, Javier; Díaz, J.; Romera, Luis (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2020)

  [Abstract:] This research focuses on the crashworthiness study and enhancement of commercial aircraft structures by developing crushable energy absorbers to work as vertical struts. To assess their contribution on a ...
