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 ...
Fiber-reinforcement and its effects on the mechanical properties of high-workability concretes manufactured with slag as aggregate and binder
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
[EN]The feasibility of manufacturing fiber-reinforced concretes of high workability through additions of high volumes of electric arc furnace steel slag is evaluated in this paper, using sustainable binders with ground ...
Approximating the influence coefficients of non-planar elastic solids for conformal contact analysis
(Elsevier, 2021-02)
The exact contact theory is an efficient alternative to the more general yet computationally expensive Finite Element Method for the detailed study of elastostatic contact problems. For its application in conformal contact ...
A model-based sustainable productivity concept for the best decision-making in rough milling operations
(Elsevier, 2021)
[EN]There is a need in manufacturing as in machining of being more productive. However, at the same time, workshops are also urged for lesser energy waste in cutting operations. Specially, rough milling of impellers and ...
Predicted Torque Model in Low-Frequency-Assisted Boring (LFAB) Operations
(MDPI, 2021-06-24)
A low-frequency-assisted boring operation is a key cutting process in the aircraft manufacturing sector when drilling deep holes to avoid chip clogging based on chip breakage and, consequently, to reduce the temperature ...
Roughing Milling with Ceramic Tools in Comparison with Sintered Carbide on Nickel-Based Alloys
(MDPI, 2021-06-18)
Abstract
Productivity in the manufacture of aircrafts components, especially engine components, must increase along with more sustainable conditions. Regarding machining, a solution is proposed to increase the cutting ...
Functionally Graded AISI 316L and AISI H13 Manufactured by L-DED for Die and Mould Applications
(MDPI, 2021-01-15)
Tooling in the die and mould industry is subjected to high-wear and high-temperature environments, which often leads to the premature failure of this high-added-value tooling. When severe damage occurs, an alternative to ...
Microstructure and Phase Formation of Novel Al80Mg5Sn5Zn5X5 Light-Weight Complex Concentrated Aluminum Alloys
(MDPI, 2021-12-01)
In this work, three novel complex concentrated aluminum alloys were developed. To investigate the unexplored region of the multicomponent phase diagrams, thermo-physical parameters and the CALPHAD method were used to ...
Evaluation of the Radar Speed Cameras and Panels Indicating the Vehicles’ Speed as Traffic Calming Measures (TCM) in Short Length Urban Areas Located along Rural Roads
(MDPI, 2021-12-05)
Traffic calming measures (TCMs) are implemented in urban areas to reduce vehicles’ speed and, generally speaking, results are obtained. However, speed is still a problem in rural roads crossing small villages without ...
Managing Traffic Data through Clustering and Radial Basis Functions
(MDPI, 2021-03-05)
Due to the importance of road transport an adequate identification of the various road network levels is necessary for an efficient and sustainable management of the road infrastructure. Additionally, traffic values are ...
