The biomechanics of the optic nerve head and peripapillary sclera have been hypothesized to play a central role in the individual susceptibility to glaucoma, which is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. The ...

In the present work of thesis an experimental equipment for elasto-plastic characterization of engineering materials by tensile tests is presented. The stress state is imposed to the specimen by a testing machine fixed ...

In this work we present two preconditioning techniques for inviscid low Mach number flows. The space discretization used is a high-order Discontinuous Galerkin finite element method. The time discretizations analyzed are ...
