This paper presents a numerical model for calculating settlements and contact stresses of a circular plate resting on an elastic subgrade. The method is an extension of the elastic continuum method developed by Poulos and Davis for piles. Soil settlements are calculated with…

La presente tesis doctoral tiene como objetivo analizar y demostrar el papel esencial de la Alfabetización Mediática e Informacional (AMI) en la educación universitaria actual a través de la implementación de proyectos de Innovación Docente que articulan las narrativas…
A novel polymeric material was obtained through succinylation of pectin (S-Pec), resulting in greater stability, film-forming ability, transparency, swelling, and water retention capacity compared to native pectin (Pec). Spectroscopic techniques confirmed the success of the…

This work investigates the dynamics of nonlocal reaction-diffusion equations featuring sublinear growth terms as the domain contracts and undergoes a dimensional reduction. By identifying a limit equation on the lower-dimensional domain, we proceed to compare the associated…

Water utilities are increasingly concerned about losses, leaks, and illegal connections in their distribution networks. Pressure control is typically managed through pressure reducing valves (PRVs) with electrically controlled actuators based on predefined tables according to…

This paper describes the development of a computational model for the rope–sheave contact interaction in reeving systems when the ropes are modeled with an arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian approach. This discretization approach has been developed in previous publications as a…
