El dogma de la Inmaculada Concepción como arma de confrontación territorial en la Sevilla del siglo xvii

Utilizando como base los datos de la “Relación cronológica y ortográfica de libros publicados en Sevilla entre 1582 y 1621” –Domínguez Búrdalo, Rilce 25 (2009): 273-318–, el presente artículo analiza las relaciones clientelares y literarias en la Sevilla del reinado de Felipe iii. En concreto, con esos datos analizamos la repercusión sevillana de una de las mayores polémicas del siglo XVII: la controversia surgida en torno a 1613 sobre el futuro dogma de la Inmaculada Concepción. Nuestro estudio analiza los aspectos esenciales del conflicto, y además relaciona las disputas teológicas con otra sonada polémica áurea, la de los libros plúmbeos del Sacromonte, y con las disputas entre el obispado de Sevilla en tiempos de Vaca de Castro y la corte madrileña de Felipe III y el duque de Lerma. Departing from the data from the “Relación cronológica y ortográfica delibros publicados en Sevilla entre 1582 y 1621” –Domínguez Búrdalo, Rilce 25 (2009): 273-318–, this article analizes patronage and literary networks in Seville during Philip iii’s reign. In particular, we use the data to analyze the Sevillian echos of one of the biggest polemics from the seventeenth century: the controversy that arose around 1613 over the future dogma of the Inmaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary. Our study analyzes the essential aspects of the conflict, while relating theological disputes with another famous Golden Age controversy, that of the Leaden Books from the Sacromonte, and with the power struggle between the bishopric of Seville in the time of Archbishop Vaca de Castro and Philip iii and the Duke of Lerma’s court in Madrid

Análisis mediante elementos de contorno de problemas de propagación cuasi-estática de fisuras

XIV Encuentro del Grupo Español de Fractura, celebrado en Ribadesella en 1997En esta comunicación se presenta la formulación mixta del Método de los Elementos de Contorno para la resolución de problemas bidimensionales de propagación cuasi-estática de grietas dentro del régimen elástico-lineal. Mediante la formulación mixta del Método de los Elementos de Contorno pueden analizarse problemas de fractura discretizando únicamente el contorno del dominio bajo consideración y ambas caras de la grieta, lo cual reduce enormemente el trabajo de modelado y remallado. Los factores de intensidad de tensiones en el vértice de la grieta, en modo I, II o mixto, se calculan de manera directa a partir de los desplazamientos de apertura y cizalladura del elemento adyacente al vértice. A partir de los factores de intensidad de tensión se ha calculado la dirección de propagación mediante el criterio de la mínima energía de deformación. En esta dirección se incrementa la longitud de la grieta simplemente añadiendo un nuevo elemento, sin necesidad de un costoso remallado del dominio, tal y como ocurre en otros métodos. Se muestra finalmente una serie de problemas de crecimiento cuasi-estático de fisuras.In this paper the mixed formulation of the Boundary Element Method is presented. This formulation is used to solving quasi-static crack propagation problems within the Linear Elas­tic Fracture Mechanics framework. The meshing effort is greatly reduced in the Mixed Boundary Element Method since only the exterior boundary and both faces of the crack have to be meshed. The Stress Intensity Factors, in mode I, II or mixed, are obtained form the crack opening and shearing displacement computed in a special element adjacent to crack tip. From the Stress In­tensity Factors the crack propagation path can be predicted. The mínimum strain energy density criterion has been used in this communication to predict. In the predicted direction the crack is extended simply appending a new boundary element, so there is no need of a complex remeshing effort as it happens in sorne other methods, Finally severa! problems of quasi-static crack-growth are shown

A 3-D boundary element model for the dynamic analysis of arch dams with porous sediments

A three-dimensional boundary element technique for dynamic analysis of arch dams including dynamic interaction and sediments on the bottom of the reservoir is presented. The dam and the foundation rock are assumed to be viscoelastic domains with linear behaviour. The water is assumed to be compressible and the sediment is considered as a two-phase poroelastic material according to Biot's theory. The four domains (dam, foundation rock, water and bottom sediments) are discretized and the interaction between them is rigorously represented. The effects of sediments on the dynamic response of arch dams are evaluated for rigid and compliant foundation. Upstream, vertical and cross-stream excitation are considered. The influence of the degree of saturation of the sediment is analysed. Other modelling of the sediment as a single-phase scalar medium are considered in order to reduce the degrees of freedom of the system.Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología PB96-1322-C03-0

Be analysis of bottom sediments in dynamic fluid-structure interaction problems

Sediment materials play an important role on the dynamic response of large structures where fluid-soil-structure interaction is relevant and materials of that kind are present. Dam-reservoir systems and harbor structures are examples of civil engineering constructions where those effects are significant. In those cases the dynamic response is determined by hydrodynamic water pressure, which depends on the absorption effects of bottom sediments. Sediments of very different mechanical properties may exist on the bottom. A three-dimensional BE model for the analysis of sediment effects on dynamic response of those structures is presented in this paper. One of the most extended models for sediment materials corresponds to Biot’s fluid-filled poroelastic solid. The BE formulation for dynamics of poroelastic solids is reviewed including a weighted residual formulation more general and concise than those previously existing in literature. Systems consisting of water, other pressure wave propagating materials, viscoelastic solids and fluid-filled poroelastic zones, are studied. Coupling conditions at interfaces are taken into account in a rigorous way. A simple geometry coupled problem is first studied to asses the effects of sediments on its dynamic response and to determine the influence of parameters such as sediment depth, consolidation, compressibility and permeability. A fully 3-D arch dam-reservoir-foundation system where sediments and radiation damping play an important role is also studied in this paper. Obtained results show the importance of a realistic representation of sediments and the influence of their consolidation degree, compressibility and permeability on the system dynamic response.Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología BIA2004-03955-C02-01/0

Behavior patterns in hormonal treatments using fuzzy logic models

Assisted reproductive technologies are a combination of medical strategies designed to treat infertility patients. Ideal stimulation treatment has to be individualized, but one of the main challenges which clinicians face in the everyday clinic is how to select the best medical protocol for a patient. This work aims to look for behavior patterns in this kind of treatments, using fuzzy logic models with the objective of helping gynecologists and embryologists to make decisions that could improve the process of in vitro fertilization. For this purpose, a real-world dataset composed of one hundred and twenty-three (123) patients and five hundred and fifty-nine (559) treatments applied in relation to such patients provided by an assisted reproduction clinic, has been used to obtain the fuzzy models. As conclusion, this work corroborates some known clinic experiences, provides some new ones and proposes a set of questions to be solved in future experiments.Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad TIN2013-46928-C3-3-RMinisterio de Economía y Competitividad TIN2016-76956- C3-2-RMinisterio de Economía y Competitividad TIN2015-71938-RED

Influence of Reynolds number on theoretical models for trailing vortices

We conduct direct numerical simulations for a NACA0012 airfoil at Reynolds numbers (Re) ranging from 300 to 7000 to determine the wake behavior behind this wing profile. We characterize the structure of the wing-tip vortex, finding a reasonable agreement with experimental results at Re=7000. In addition, we model the trailing vortex theoretically, thus obtaining the parameters for Batchelor’s and Moore and Saffman’s models. We compare the results of the best fitting for the axial vorticity and the azimuthal velocity, finding only small discrepancies. The main contribution of this research work is to study the evolution of these theoretical parameters as function of the Reynolds number. We observe that the wake becomes unstable at Re ≈1200, in agreement with previous results. These instabilities in the wake behind the wing produce a change in the trend of theoretical parameters (keywords: vortex dynamics, trailing vortices, theoretical models).Universidad de Málaga.
