Abstract:

This work is the result of an Industrial Doctorate developed through a partnership agreement between the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya and the company Horizons Optical. This thesis solves the complex design of progressive lenses for eyeglasses, which is a real problem in the industry. The lens is the transparent part of the eye behind the pupil that helps humans to see clearly by focusing light onto the retina. Over time, the lens loses some of its elasticity and therefore can no longer accommodate clearly for near vision. This phenomenon is called presbyopia and explains why people nee

Abstract:

Throughout recent history, famous records of building failures may be found, unfortunately accompanied by great human loss and major economic consequences. One of the mechanisms of failure is referred to as ‘progressive collapse’: one or several structural members suddenly fail, whatever the cause (accident or attack). The building then collapses progressively, every load redistribution causing the failure of other structural elements, until the complete failure of the building or of a major part of it. The civil engineering community’s attention to this type of event was first drawn by the pr

The classical continuum theory is not capable of predicting failure without an external crack growth criteria and treats the interface having zero thickness.

This study presents a new response function as part of the peridynamic theory to include thermal loading. Furthermore, an efficient numerical algorit

Furthermore, the methods always use the inefficient vertex and face list representation during the generation process.

Abstract:

The most common failure of concrete gravity dams is sliding along the foundation surface. This thesis studies progressive failure of the Longtan dam on the upper Hongshuie river in china.Two methods are used in this thesis; the Safety Reserve Factor (SRF) method and the Overload method. The SRF-method is used as a tool to study sliding failure along the foundation weak layer of the Longtan dam. Strength reduction coefficients decrease the cohesion and friction angle values for the weak layer of the foundation. Simulations with reduced shear strength parameter values gives information about the

Abstract:

This dissertation presents a calibration procedure for a pressure velocity probe. The dissertation is divided into four main chapters. The first chapter is divided into six main sections. In the firsts two, the wave equation in fluids and the velocity of sound in gases are calculated, the third section contains a general solution of the wave equation in the case of plane acoustic waves. Section four and five report the definition of the acoustic impedance and admittance, and the practical units the sound level is measured with, i.e. the decibel scale. Finally, the last section of the cha

Abstract:

This study compared the projections by young people in a rural school of risk factors and protective resources in the first and second sand tray. From an indigenisation perspective, the assumption was that sand tray therapy could be suitable to understand risk factors and protective resources in two sand trays of young people. As part of a clinical case study design first and second sand trays (n=22) of clients (n=11) were purposefully selected for comparative analysis. Data sources included visual data (photographs), accompanying client narratives (verbatim transcriptions and field notes), AS

Furthermore, these microorganisms are metabolically capable to oxidize cyanide and its by-products to generate less-toxic compounds at the end of the process. This research proposal seeks to improve conventional mine
