Participación de las Escuelas de Arquitectura en el Plan Nacional de I+D+I

La Red INVEA es la Red de subdirecciones de investigación de las escuelas de arquitectura, formalización de las reuniones que han venido manteniendo en los 2 últimos años los subdirectores de investigación, directores de escuelas o delegados de estos para reflexionar y debatir en torno a la investigación en arquitectura • El objetivo de la red INVEA es impulsar acciones de fomento, gestión y difusión de la producción científica en el ámbito de la arquitectura realizada en las escuelas de arquitectura públicas y privadas españolas, tanto como consecuencia de proyectos de investigación competitivos, como por actividades de apoyo científico-técnico al sector como, en fin, por la propia actividad profesional de los docentes • La red se organiza mediante una Junta General, que se reúne una vez al año, y una Comisión Permanente, con reuniones semestrales.

SERBA: a B.I.E. program with linear elements for 2-D elastostatics analysis

The great developments that have occurred during the last few years in the finite element method and its applications has kept hidden other options for computation. The boundary integral element method now appears as a valid alternative and, in certain cases, has significant advantages. This method deals only with the boundary of the domain, while the F.E.M. analyses the whole domain. This has the following advantages: the dimensions of the problem to be studied are reduced by one, consequently simplifying the system of equations and preparation of input data. It is also possible to analyse infinite domains without discretization errors. These simplifications have the drawbacks of having to solve a full and non-symmetric matrix and some difficulties are incurred in the imposition of boundary conditions when complicated variations of the function over the boundary are assumed. In this paper a practical treatment of these problems, in particular boundary conditions imposition, has been carried out using the computer program shown below. Program SERBA solves general elastostatics problems in 2-dimensional continua using the boundary integral equation method. The boundary of the domain is discretized by line or elements over which the functions are assumed to vary linearly. Data (stresses and/or displacements) are introduced in the local co-ordinate system (element co-ordinates). Resulting stresses are obtained in local co-ordinates and displacements in a general system. The program has been written in Fortran ASCII and implemented on a 1108 Univac Computer. For 100 elements the core requirements are about 40 Kwords. Also available is a Fortran IV version (3 segments)implemented on a 21 MX Hewlett-Packard computer,using 15 Kwords.

3-D modeling of perimeter recombination in GaAs diodes and its influence on concentrator solar cells

This paper describes a complete modelling of the perimeter recombination of GaAs diodes which solves most unknowns and suppresses the limitations of previous models. Because of the three dimensional nature of the implemented model, it is able to simulate real devices. GaAs diodes on two epiwafers with different base doping levels, sizes and geometries, namely square and circular are manufactured. The validation of the model is achieved by fitting the experimental measurements of the dark IV curve of the manufactured GaAs diodes. A comprehensive 3-D description of the occurring phenomena affecting the perimeter recombination is supplied with the help of the model. Finally, the model is applied to concentrator GaAs solar cells to assess the impact of their doping level, size and geometry on the perimeter recombination.
