TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER

I further developed my expertise and multidisciplinary vision in technology transfer involving companies in the field of mechanical and civil engineering as well as competitive and non-competitive projects using FEA methods in models for concrete, masonry, steel or wood structures and in funded projects as a researcher. I collaborated with companies from mechanical engineering (Atisae, Gas Natural, Gradhermetic, Rasan, Biotrit), civil engineering (Endesa, Sufetra, TMB, IMAT) or aeronautical and naval engineering (inBloon, Bound4Blue) performing FEA with non-linearities, plasticity, explicit models, modal analysis or studying local buckling.

a) Computational model of a transmission tower using link elements to solve the local buckling during wind effects b) Explicit dynamics model of a perforation of a gas pipe c) Local buckling of shell elements in a water cistern d) FEA model of a aeronautical capsule out of the atmosphere

All this works were done in the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya when I was member of the lab "Laboratori per a la Innovació Tecnològica d'Estrctures i Materials" (LITEM) and funded by the companies in contracts involving both university and company parts.
