Efecto de tres anestésicos en Haliotis tuberculata coccinea (Gastropoda) y la aplicabilidad del aceite de clavo en el cultivo de abalón

[EN]Three chemical methods for induction of relaxation in H. tuberculata coccinea (50-80mm shell length) were tested: sodium pentobarbital (60mg/l), 2-phenoxyethanol (2ml/l) and clove oil at three concentrations (0.02, 0.05 and 0,5ml/l). The time taken for animals to release from aquaria walls and recover from the anaesthetics was recorded. No mortality was observed after one week from experiment. All anaesthetics made animals release from container walls within 10-30 min, but they were ineffective as muscle relaxants, leaving the foot hard and contracted. The most effective concentration tested for clove oil was 0,5ml/l at 22ºC.

Dynamic analysis of piled foundations in stratified soils by a BEM-FEM model

[EN] 3D BEM-FEM coupling model is used to study the dynamic behavior of piled foundations in elastic layered soils in presenceof a rigid bedrock. Piles are modelled by FEM as beams according to the Bernoulli hpothesis, and every layer of the soil is modelled by BEM as a cointinuum, semi-infinite, isotropic, homogeneous, linear, viscoelastic medium.

BEM-FEM coupling model for the dynamic analysis of piles and pile groups

[EN] This paper shows a BEM-FEM coupling model for the time harmonic dynamic analysis of piles and pile groups embeddes in an elastic half-space. Piles are modelled using Finite Elements (FEM) as a beam according to the Bernoulli hypothesis, while the soil modelled using  Boundary Elements (BEM) as a continuum, semi-infinite, isotropic, homogeneous or zoned homogeneous, linear, viscoelastic medium.

Dynamic structure-soil-structure interaction between nearby piled buildings under seismic excitation by BEM-FEM model

[EN]The dynamic throug-soil interaction between nearby pile supported structures in a viscoelastic half-space, under incident S and Rayleigh waves, is numerically studied. To this end, a three-dimensional viscoelastic BEM-FEM formulation for the dynamic analysis of piles and pile groups in the frequency domain is used, where soil is modelled by BEM and piles are simulated by one-dimensional finite elements as Bernouilli beams.

A BEM-FEM model for the dynamic analysis of building structures founded on elastic or poroelastic soils.

[EN]This work presents a time-harmonic boundary elementfinite element three-dimensional model for the dynamic analysis of building structures founded on elastic or porelastic soils. The building foundation and soil domains are modelled as homogeneous, isotropic, elastic or poroelastic media using boundary elements.

A 2D BEM-FEM approach for time harmonic fluid-structure interaction analysis of thin elastic bodies.

[EN]This paper deals with two-dimensional time harmonic fluid-structure interaction problems when the fluid is at rest, and the elastic bodies have small thicknesses. A BEM-FEM numerical approach is used, where the BEM is applied to the fluid, and the structural FEM is applied to the thin elastic bodies.
