A methodology for damping measurement of engineering materials: application to a structure under bending and torsion loading
Pérez Peña, Armando; García Granada, Andrés-Amador; Menacho, Joaquín; Molins Vara, José Javier; Reyes Pozo, Guillermo (Journal of Vibration and Control, 2014-09-11)A new method to calculate damping properties of rigid materials to be used in Finite Elements calculations is presented. Its relevance relies in its simplicity regarding the amount of materials data, ... -
Arterial pulse attenuation prediction using the decaying rate of a pressure wave in a viscoelastic material model
Menacho, Joaquín; Rotllant, L.; Molins Vara, José Javier (Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology, 2017-11-22)The present study examines the possibility of attenuating blood pulses by means of introducing prosthetic viscoelastic materials able to absorb energy and damp such pulses. Vascular prostheses made of ... -
Fluid-structure interaction simulations outperform computational fluid dynamics in the description of thoracic aorta haemodynamics and in the differentiation of progressive dilation in Marfan syndrome patients
Martorell López, Jordi; Molins Vara, José Javier; Pons, R.; Guala, A.; Rodríguez-Palomares, J.F.; Cajas, J.C.; Dux-Santoy, L.; Teixidó-Tura, G.; Vázquez, M.; Evangelista, A. (Royal Society Open Science. Vol.7, n.2 (2020), 191752, 2020-02)Abnormal fluid dynamics at the ascending aorta may be at the origin of aortic aneurysms. This study was aimed at comparing the performance of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and fluid–structure ...
