The dual integrated force method applied to unidirectional composites
(John Wiley & Sons, 2014-04-07)
This paper shows the use of the dual integrated force method (IFMD) in finite elements method and its application to composite materials. This method was developed by S.N. Patnaik in isotropic materials, considering not ...
Textile-reinforced mortar as strengthening material for masonry arches
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-09-03)
[EN] Masonry arches are an important part of built heritage that must be preserved. Research and advanced studies of historical masonry structures have progressed slowly in comparison to studies on structures made of other ...
On preventing the dripping effect of overhang constraints in topology optimization for additive manufacturing
(Springer, 2021-09-14)
This article falls within the scope of topology optimization for Additive Manufacturing processes and proposes an alternative strategy to prevent the phenomenon known as the Dripping Effect. The Dripping Effect is when an ...
On The Influence of Rotary Dresser Geometry on Wear Evolution and Grinding Process
(MDPI, 2019-11-22)
Dressing is a critical issue for optimizing the grinding process. Dresser tool and dresser
parameters must be designed according to the grinding wheel material, shape, or even the dimensional and geometrical tolerances ...
The use of steelmaking slags and fly ash in structural mortars
(Elsevier, 2016-03)
The main objective of this work is to produce structural slag mortars of good mechanical strength and workability, while reducing the consumption of Portland clinker, the production of which is a growing source of environmental ...
Self-compacting concrete incorporating electric arc-furnace steelmaking slag as aggregate
(Elsevier, 2016-11-17)
Electric arc-furnace slag (EAFS) is an industrial by-product that can be employed in hydraulic mixes used in the field of construction and civil engineering. The design and preparation of self-compacting mixes with this ...
ADITU: A mesh-free formulation for the solution of Helmholtz equation in bounded and unbounded domains
(Elsevier, 2022-06-01)
This work describes a mesh-free collocation formulation for the acoustic fluid–fluid coupling among
non-homogeneous bounded and unbounded fluid domains. The proposed formulations use series
of functions that are generated ...
A Hybrid Control Approach for the Swing Free Transportation of a Double Pendulum with a Quadrotor
(MDPI, 2021-06-13)
In this article, a control strategy approach is proposed for a system consisting of a quadrotor transporting a double pendulum. In our case, we attempt to achieve a swing free transportation of the pendulum, while the ...
Temperature based maximum power point tracking for photovoltaic modules
(Nature, 2020-07-27)
In this article authors propose a temperature based Maximum Power Point Tracking algorithm (MPPT). Authors show that there is an optimal current vs maximum power curve that depends on photovoltaic (PV) module temperature. ...
Hybrid Modeling of Deformable Linear Objects for Their Cooperative Transportation by Teams of Quadrotors
(MDPI, 2022-05-23)
his paper deals with the control of a team of unmanned air vehicles (UAVs), specifically quadrotors, for which their mission is the transportation of a deformable linear object (DLO), i.e., a cable, hose or similar object ...
