Diseño de un sistema de monitorización de estructuras de procesamiento paralelo.

[ES]Este proyecto consiste en el diseño de un sistema de monitorización de estructuras (SHM) con procesamiento paralelo. Los sistemas SHM sirven para analizar la integridad de estructuras y detectar daños en las mismas. El sistema diseñado utiliza la técnica de ondas ultrasónicas superficiales. Integra todos los circuitos electrónicos para generar y adquirir las señales. También incluye un procesador para tratar las señales y detectar los daños de la estructura. El sistema se ha diseñado para conectar varios equipos en paralelo

Quantum Emulation of Gravitational Waves

Gravitational waves, as predicted by Einstein's general relativity theory, appear as ripples in the fabric of spacetime traveling at the speed of light. We prove that the propagation of small amplitude gravitational waves in a curved spacetime is equivalent to the propagation of a subspace of electromagnetic states. We use this result to propose the use of entangled photons to emulate the evolution of gravitational waves in curved spacetimes by means of experimental electromagnetic setups featuring metamaterials.

Fitting BICEP2 with defects, primordial gravitational waves and dust

In this work we discuss the possibility of cosmic defects being responsible for the B-mode signal measured by the BICEP2 collaboration. We also allow for the presence of other cosmological sources of B-modes such as inflationary gravitational waves and polarized dust foregrounds, which might contribute to or dominate the signal. On the one hand, we find that defects alone give a poor fit to the data points. On the other, we find that defects help to improve the fit at higher multipoles when they are considered alongside inflationary gravitational waves or polarized dust. Finally, we derive new defect constraints from models combining defects and dust. This proceeding is based on previous works [1, 2].
