This combination of material properties and the range of their values has expanded in recent times and continues to expand with the development of composite materials. However, the use of composite materials also brings with it a number of
disadvantages, which are generally offset by the great advantages that these materials provide. In this articl...
Progress in composite materials is leading to new research lines in this field, creating analytical models to study their mechanical behaviour, improving manufacturing procedures or trying to improve the problems that appear at the matrix-particle interface. The material to be studied consists of a nickel alloy-based metal matrix reinforced with Si...
Progress in composite materials is leading to new research lines in this field, creating analytical models to study their mechanical behaviour, improving manufacturing procedures or trying to improve the problems that appear at the matrix-particle interface. In this paper a specific study of a metal matrix composite material reinforced with ceramic...
In this article, numerical simulations are used to study the bonding of ceramic–metal interfaces as well as ceramic-reinforced metal matrix composites (MMCs). For the design of the geometrical model of the MMC, the reinforcement is considered to be discontinuous (MMCD) and it consists of particles in which their distribution is homogeneous within t...
In recent years, there have been numerous initiatives regarding the incorporation of building performance simulation tools (BPSTs) in the field of architecture, but unfortunately they have not been considered in updates of the curricula of building designers' careers at a global level. This paper presents an example of the use of BPSTs in the decis...
In Europe, 40% of the total energy is consumed by buildings; in this sense, building performance simulation tools (BPSTs) play a key role; however, the use of these tools by architects is deficient. Therefore, this study aims to detect the architects’ perception on BPSTs. To this end, an online survey was conducted to determine the selection criter...
Education for sustainable development is considered a key element of quality.
However, nearly-graduated students of Architecture perceive that during their training
there is a lack in the use of innovative teaching materials such as building simulation
performance tools (BPSTs). This document examines the material included in the
architectural proj...
This paper examines the actual knowledge regarding Building Performance Simulation Tools (BPSTs) of recent graduate architects in Spain. BPSTs quantify aspects of building performance that are relevant to design, construction, and operation. Recent graduate architects are those who have been awarded a first degree from a university or college and f...
In this research work, energy simulation was used as a forecasting tool in architectural design. It includes the study of a multi-family residential building in five different climate zones of Spain, i.e., A4 (very hot climate zones), B4 (hot climate zones), C4 (moderate climate zones), D3 (cold climate zones), and E1 (very cold climate zones). The...
The Passive House (PH) concept is considered an efficient strategy to reduce energy consumption in the building sector, where most of the energy is used for heating and cooling applications. For this reason, energy efficiency measures are increasingly implemented in the residential sector, which is the main responsible for such a consumption. The n...

This article discusses the influence of the thickness of the damping rings
used for interrupting a dynamic tension experiments on the results of a
modified split Hopkinson tension bar (SHTB). In this paper a device enclosed
in an external fixture used for interrupting a dynamic tension experiment in
a SHTB is studied. The novelty of this manuscript...
In this work, the performance of a point-to-point fiber communication system that use a directly modulated (DML) VCSEL have been studied at 2.5, 10, and 40 Gb/s. We have demonstrated that a low-cost error-free transmission is possible by the appropriate choice of the shape of the driving electric pulse, the extinction ratio (ER) and the On-Off Keyi...
Se emplean Instrumentos basados en la técnica de la gamificación en la aplicación de un aula. Se trabaja sobre resultados reales obtenidos en un software de simulación energética de Energy Plus (design builder) , con varios ejercicios que proponen
la reflexión y aprendizaje a través del juego. Los ejercicios, se realizan en conjunto profesor-alumno...
Abstract— This paper discusses the influence of the type of materials used to fabricate the damping rings aimed for interrupting a dynamic tension experiment on the results of a modified Split Hopkinson Tension Bar (SHTB). The damping rings enclosed in an external fixture which modifies the classical SHTB play a significant role in buffering the dy...
This manual aspires to be a useful guide for students and professionals who are involved in the design of lighting installations of buildings, by joining theorical concepts and practical examples. This is a didactic book written in an accessible, clear and concepts language.
It must be highlighted that this book is published both in spanish and eng...
Este manual de instalaciones eléctricas está hecho con la intención de servir como ayuda tanto al estudiante como al profesional. Se ha divido en conceptos fundamentales, instalaciones eléctricas en la edificación, diseño y cálculo de líneas, puesta a tierra y espacios en las instalaciones eléctricas. En el primer apartado se recogen los conceptos...
This article discusses the influence of the dimensions of the damping rings used for interrupting a dynamic tension experiment on the results of a modified split Hopkinson tension bar.

The main focus of this work is to discuss the influence of the projectile’s length on the
results of a Split Hopkinson Tension Bar (SHTB) experiment. By using the commercial software
ABAQUS, finite element simulations of high-strain-rate tension experiments are accomplished on
Aluminium 7017-T73 alloy specimens when varying the length of the projec...
High-resolution X-ray scanning diffractometry has been used to study the residual strain in Si3N4/Ni diffusion bonds. Bonds were made by directly joining Ni and Si3N4 samples of same geometry by applying high temperature and enough mechanical pressure. The axial and radial strain profiles have been determined by X-ray diffraction in the ceramic bod...
The goal of this paper is the making of several physico-chemical analyses in order to identify the different components which integrate a sticking gel used in fabrics printing. The polymer spectroscopy analyses include infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Once the main compounds of the sticking gel are found out, we describe the usual compo...
