Evaluating Disruptive Innovation Project Management Capabilities
(MDPI, 2020-12-22)
Firms must adapt to a business environment in constant flux. Economic and political factors and the constant interruption of new technologies force firms and organizations to change and to adapt, so that they are not left ...
A Reconfigurable Framework for Vehicle Localization in Urban Areas
(MDPI, 2022-03-28)
Accurate localization for autonomous vehicle operations is essential in dense urban areas. In order to ensure safety, positioning algorithms should implement fault detection and fallback strategies. While many strategies ...
Solid Fraction Determination at the Rigidity Point by Advanced Thermal Analysis
(MDPI, 2021-11-27)
The aim of this work is to determine the Solid Fraction (SF) at the rigidity point (FRP) by applying advanced thermal analysis techniques. The variation of the FRP value is important to explain the solidification behavior ...
A Simplified Modeling Approach of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines for Dynamic Simulations
(MDPI, 2022-03-18)
Currently, floating offshore wind is experiencing rapid development towards a commercial scale. However, the research to design new control strategies requires numerical models of low computational cost accounting for the ...
IRI Performance Models for Flexible Pavements in Two-Lane Roads until First Maintenance and/or Rehabilitation Work
(MDPI, 2020-01-22)
Pavement performance models play a vital role in any pavement management system. The Regional Government of Biscay (RGB) (Spain) manages a 1200 km road network and conducts pavement data collections, including the International ...
Do we know how urban heritage is being endangered by climate change? A systematic and critical review
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
[EN]It is worldwide accepted that climate change is affecting cities and that the conservation of the cultural heritage contributes to sustainable development. However, despite the high level of interest and research in ...
Influence of AISI D2 Workpiece Roughness on Heat Partition and Plasma Channel Radius in the WEDM Process
(MDPI, 2020-10-12)
As an important advanced machining process, in Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) certain fundamental issues remain need to be studied in-depth, such as the effect of part surface roughness on heat transfer mechanisms. ...
Expectations and limitations of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) for Advanced Manufacturing: A View from the Grinding Industry
(MDPI, 2020-09-22)
Grinding is a critical technology in the manufacturing of high added-value precision parts, accounting for approximately 20–25% of all machining costs in the industrialized world. It is a commonly used process in the ...
Detailed Thermo-Kinematic Analysis of Face Grinding Operations with Straight Wheels
(MDPI, 2020-04-18)
This paper presents a new model that relates thermal aspects with process kinematics in face grinding applications with straight wheels. Changes in chip thickness along the contact area were considered in the model, which ...
Analysis of the Part Distortions for Inconel 718 SLM: A Case Study on the NIST Test Artifact
(MDPI, 2020-11-11)
The present paper evaluates the misalignment and geometry distortion of the standard National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) test artifact in Inconel 718 alloy, when several layers with and without supports ...
