This work is about the development of a general algorithm for the numerical solution of flow equations: the Navier-Stokes set. This set of differential equations models the time dependent behavior of fluids. It is formed by continuity, linear momentum and an energy transport equations. The algorithm here described is a general one since it can handle equally a great variety of problems, ranging from incompressible to compressible flows, viscous to inviscid, stationary and transient, all of them phisically modeled by the same set of differential equations.
In the present work, a quest for a general algorithm is described, following one of many possible ways to tackle the problem. In general, this is done extending methods either from compressible to incompressible flows or from incompressible to compressible ones.

El presente trabajo tiene por objeto hacer una revisión introductoria sobre el estado actual delos pulvimateriales y en particular sobre los nuevos cer´amicos ingenieriles. Sería interminable escribir una relación profunda sobre las distintas tipologías de cerámicos que existen en la actualidad; sin embargo es posible presentar conceptos que puedan delinear en forma general una respuesta a la pregunta: ¿qué son los nuevos cerámicos en ingeniería? Responder a esta pregunta es precisamente parte del trabajo que se presenta. Al final, en el capítulo 4, se desarrolla una idea para tratar en forma global el comportamiento mecánico térmico de los pulvimateriales. Es decir, desde su fabricación a la puesta en servicio.
Es conveniente resaltar, que esta primera presentación del tema solamente pretende introducir al lector en el conocimiento sobre el comportamiento mecánico de los pulvimateriales. Por lo tanto, es mi esperanza que sirva de utilidad para aclarar las dudas básicas y permita iniciar estudios más profundos.

La principal dificultad que se encuentra en el momento de diseñar estructuras
con materiales compuestos es la falta de modelos constitutivos que permitan si- mular su
comportamiento. Las técnicas analíticas convencionales utilizadas para el estudio de materiales
simples isótropos no resultan adecuadas para el análisis de materiales compuestos. Tampoco ha
resultado satisfactoria la representación de un compuesto mediante un único material ortótropo con
propiedades del conjunto. Puede observarse en distintas referencias los intentos que ha habido para
modelar el comportamiento de materiales compuestos, utilizando la técnica de elementos fi- nitos
para el análisis y diseño de estructuras, donde la correlación entre los análisis y los resultados
experimentales no resulta satisfactoria (Ali, 1996) (Klintworth y Macmillian, 1992). El proceso de
diseño de componentes en materiales compuestos se ha basado, principalmente, en métodos empíricos,
observándose en la literatura la ausencia de análisis o simulaciones del comportamiento de
materiales compuestos sometidos a niveles de esfuerzos que sobrepasan el límite elástico.

As stated in the introduction, the three main topics covered in this report are actual research
fields. Different analyses and new developments related with these fields have been presented in
the previous chapters. In the following, after a brief summary of the contributions, some directions
for future research are outlined. Detailed presentations of the conclusions of each contribution are
included in the corresponding sections and subsections.
The most relevant contributions of this report are the following:
1. With respect to the treatment of large boundary displacements:
> Quasistatic and dynamic analyses of the vane test for soft materials using a fluid–based
ALE formulation and different non-newtonian constitutive laws.
> The development of a solid–based ALE formulation for finite strain hyperelastic–plastic
models, with applications to isochoric and non-isochoric cases.
2. Referent to the solution of nonlinear systems of equations in solid mechanics:
> The use of simple and robust numerical differentiation schemes for the computation of
tangent operators, including examples with several non-trivial elastoplastic constitutive
laws.
> The development of consistent tangent operators for substepping time–integration rules,
with the application to an adaptive time–integration scheme.
3. In the field of constitutive modelling of granular materials:
> The efficient numerical modelling of different problems involving elastoplastic models,
including work hardening–softening models for small–strain problems and density–
dependent hyperelastic–plastic models in a large–strain context.
> Robust and accurate simulations of several powder compaction processes, with detailed
analysis of spatial density distributions and verification of the mass conservation principle.

Abstract
Some residential buildings are irregular, having plants with entrances, fact which can worsen their behavior during potential seismic events. They can present demands that are much higher than their design capacity. The objective of this monograph is to study the seismic performance factors of buildings by applying the FEMA P695 methodology to a set of regular and irregular structural configurations with and without incorporating closure beams in their entrances. The case studies consider low-rise reinforced concrete buildings located in high seismic hazard areas. The structures are analyzed, considering the hypothesis of flexible diaphragm, in the linear range (using the Robot Structural Analysis computer code) and in the nonlinear range (using the SeismoStruct 7.0.3 computer code); both are based on the finite element method. The seismic response of the structures is evaluated by performing nonlinear pseudo-static analysis and incremental dynamic analysis (IDA). It is worth noting that the response of the buildings with entrances by applying the pushover analysis requires specifying certain rules of application, which are proposed herein. The performance point is calculated by applying the extended N2 method, which is especially applicable to buildings with irregularities in plan considering the effect of the higher modes of vibration. This allows obtaining the seismic response of the buildings to earthquakes similar to those of the seismic code. The displacement corresponding to the performance point allows making evaluations by means of the method of the quadrants and the damage index indicates if the structure is fragile or ductile. In addition, an alternative method is proposed to obtain the ductility and factors such as the torsional irregularity index, which is a dimensionless coefficient that characterizes the structural response and relates it to the existing irregularities. Comparisons among structures with different irregularity in plant are also made considering their fragility curves. The R coefficient is adopted according to the current regulations applying FEMA P695 and a new value of R is established by using the IDA curves obtained from the nonlinear analysis.
