Influence of process parameters on the particle-matrix interaction of WC-Co metal matrix composites produced by laser-directed energy deposition
(Elsevier, 2022-11)
The prediction of the in-service behaviour of metal-matrix composites produced by laser-directed energy deposition is a fundamental challenge in additive manufacturing. The interaction between the reinforce-ment phase and ...
On the friability of mussel shells as abrasive
(Elsevier, 2022-11)
The spread of raft-farming of mussels in river estuaries around the world produces about 1.4 million tons of shell waste which mainly ends up in landfills. In addition, the United Nations and the European Union promote the ...
Design and Fabrication of a Phase Change Material Heat Storage Device for the Thermal Control of Electronics Components of Space Applications
(MDPI, 2022-02-28)
In this paper, the design and validation of a heat storage device based on phase change materials are presented, with the focus on improving the thermal control of micro-satellites. The main objective of the development ...
Mechanical Properties of Three Bamboo Species: Effect of External Climatic Conditions and Fungal Infestation in Laboratory Conditions
(MDPI, 2022-12-07)
Bamboo is a material with good tensile and flexural resistance. As a construction material with structural capacity, using bamboo implies considerable environmental advantages in relation to other typical materials such ...
Lamellar Spacing Modelling for LPBF Aluminum Parts
(MDPI, 2022-12-17)
The high cooling rates reached during metal additive manufacturing (MAM) generate microstructures very different from those obtained by other conventional manufacturing methods. Therefore, research about the modeling of ...
Influence of the Measurements Uncertainties in the Correlation of Spacecraft Thermal Models against Thermal Results
(MDPI, 2022-12-14)
Ground thermal tests are always mandatory before any space mission is flown into space. The collected results of these tests are mainly temperatures of the different parts of the spacecraft (nodes) for different mission ...
Dynamic control for LMD processes using sensor fusion and edge computing
(Elsevier, 2022-09)
The quality of an LMD manufactured object highly depends on different process parameters such as the speed of powder deposition, the applied laser power, the powder feed rate, and other physical parameters such as the ...
Adaptive control for a dual laser beam solution for the welding of high reflectivity dissimilar materials
(Elsevier, 2022-09)
The laser welding technology delivers high flexibility and adaptability to the welding process being able to adjust to complex joint geometries. Additionally, the application of a laser beam minimises the microstructural ...
Project Success Criteria Evaluation for a Project-Based Organization and Its Stakeholders—A Q-Methodology Approach
(MDPI, 2022-11-01)
The criteria that define project success change from one project to another, also from organization to organization, making success contextual for both the project organization and its stakeholders. This paper proposes a ...
Edge finishing of large turbine casings using defined multi-edge and abrasive tools in automated cells
(Springer, 2022-12)
Automate finishing processes is a global challenge in several industrial sectors. Concretely, when dealing with aero-engine components, only simple finishing processes are automated nowadays. Most of the high-added value ...
