Multiscale simulation of volumetric wear of vitrified alumina grinding wheels
(Elsevier, 2023-10)
Wear of vitrified alumina wheels is a major research issue. Although extensive experimental work has been presented in the scientific literature, wheel manufacturers and grinding users are still unable to predict the ...
Robotic-Arm-Based Force Control by Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient in Neurosurgical Practice
(MDPI, 2023-09-30)
This research continues the previous work “Robotic-Arm-Based Force Control in Neurosurgical Practice”. In that study, authors acquired an optimal control arm speed shape for neurological surgery which minimized ...
Microtab design and implementation on a 5MW wind turbine
(MDPI, 2017-05-24)
Microtabs (MT) consist of a small tab placed on the airfoil surface close to the trailing edge and perpendicular to the surface. A study to find the optimal position to improve airfoil aerodynamic performance is presented. ...
Gurney Flap Implementation on a DU91W250 Airfoil
(MDPI, 2018-11-06)
Abstract
The increasing capability of Wind Turbine (WT) based power generation systems has derived in an increment of the WT rotor diameter, i.e., longer rotor blades. This results in an increase of the electrical power ...
Drilling of CFRP-Ti6Al4V stacks using CO2-cryogenic cooling
(Elsevier, 2021-04)
In the work here presented, liquefied CO2 is used as cutting fluid for drilling CFRP-Ti6Al4V stacks as alternative to dry-drilling. Several tests were performed using dry-drilling technique, to compare this with the ...
Tool wear monitoring of high-speed broaching process with carbide tools to reduce production errors
(Elsevier, 2022-06)
Real-time monitoring in CNC machine tools is focused on the early detection of tool wear, and in this way to assess part piece quality. The machining process known as broaching is critical for firtree slots (dovetails) ...
In pursuit of sustainable cutting fluid strategy for machining Ti-6Al-4V using life cycle analysis
(Elsevier, 2021-09)
The need for developing sustainable manufacturing processes which should have a good balance between economic viability and environmental protection is one of the key challenges against manufacturers. The conventional ...
Active Learning for Road Lane Landmark Inventory with V-ELM in Highly Uncontrolled Image Capture Conditions
(Elsevier, 2021-05-28)
Road landmark inventory is becoming an important data product for the maintenance of transport infrastructures. Several commercial sensors are available which include synchronized optical cameras that allowto build 360° ...
Above-ground biomass estimation from LiDAR data using random forest algorithms
(Elsevier, 2022-02)
Random forest (RF) models were developed to estimate the biomass for the Pinus radiata species in a region of the Basque Autonomous Community where this species has high cover, using the National Forest Inventory, allometric ...
Delamination Fracture Behavior of Unidirectional Carbon Reinforced Composites Applied to Wind Turbine Blades
(MDPI, 2021-01-27)
One of the materials that is used widely for wind turbine blade manufacturing are fiber-reinforced composites. Although glass fiber reinforcement is the most used in wind turbine blades, the use of carbon fiber allows ...
