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 ...
A low-cost vision system for online reciprocal collision avoidance with UAVs
(Elsevier, 2024-05-10)
In this article, we propose a reciprocal collision avoidance system for autonomous drones, based on computer vision and using relative positioning in an indoor environment. This dynamic environment represents a demanding ...
Analysis of displacement path dependence in mixed mode cohesive law
(Elsevier, 2022-12)
In the present work, a general theoretical analysis is presented and novel mathematical expressions are derived to obtain the cohesive law of adhesive joints under mixed-mode loading.
It is theoretically stated that the ...
On the relationship between cutting forces and anisotropy features in the milling of LPBF Inconel 718 for near net shape parts
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
The versatility and potential applications of additive manufacturing have accelerated the development of additive/subtractive hybrid manufacturing methods. LPBF processes are exceptionally efficient at producing complex-shaped, ...
Improvement of boring operations by means of mode coupling effect
(Elsevier, 2022-05)
Boring bars are inherently slender tools which are prone to show chatter problems due to their low dynamic stiffness and damping, being this problem their main limitation in productivity. The onset of chatter is mainly ...
Damping in ram based vertical lathes and portal machines
(Elsevier, 2022)
Chatter vibrations originated by the machine structure are a major limitation for the productivity of ram based machines performing heavy duty operations. Consequently, the damping of the machine structure has a capital ...
