Project developed for West Virginia University. This project consisted in the numerical simulation of an inflatable structure designed to stop a high pressure fluid flow within a pipe. To achieve this purpose, the plug must seal the pipe and be axially locked in a given section. To seal the pipe sec...

The M-RECT aimed to create multi-scale – reinforced semi-crystalline thermoplastics, which will outperform all reinforced polymers in terms of strength, stiffness and mainly damping, by developing and upscaling of the art production procedures, within cost-efficient manufacturing routes. The p...

Project developed in partnership with FEUP, CSM, OCAS N.V., UThessaly, RWTH, UPisa and SZMF. This project consisted in the numerical simulation of pipelines subjected to both internal pressure and variable cyclic displacements. To achieve this purpose, CIMNE has developed a new isotropic hardening l...

Project developed between Abengoa Research and CIMNE. The final aim of the project is create a numerical tool to simulate structural elements made with advanced composite materials. To meet the VMD objective, a multi-scale homogenization procedure for 3D solid geometries has been developed. The homo...

The main objective of this Marie Curie IRSES project is to build a coordinated Sino-Latin American-European team of researchers sharing expertise to jointly exploit and develop open source codes and numerical methods for designing effective tools to mitigate major natural disasters in the three regi...
