Failure-Analysis Based Redesign of Furnace Conveyor System Components: A Case Study
(MDPI, 2019-08)
Any manufacturing equipment designed from scratch requires a detailed follow-up of the performance for the first units placed in service during the production ramp-up, so that lessons learned are immediately implemented ...
Application of model updating techniques to turbomachinery rotor components
(Sage, 2019-07-12)
Model updating techniques are commonly used to improve simulation accuracy. Experimental data of component testing under laboratory conditions are normally used to improve analytical predictions of that component under ...
Design, Construction and Testing of a Hydraulic Power Take-Off for Wave Energy Converters
(MDPI, 2012-06)
This paper presents the construction, mathematical modeling and testing of a scaled universal hydraulic Power Take-Off (PTO) device for Wave Energy Converters (WECs). A specific prototype and test bench were designed and ...
Structural Synthesis of 3-DoF Spatial Fully Parallel Manipulators
(Intech Europe, 2014-07-16)
In this paper, the architectures of three degrees of freedom (3-DoF) spatial, fully parallel manipulators (PMs), whose limbs are structurally identical, are obtained systematically. To do this, the methodology followed ...
Alternative experimental methods for machine tool dynamics identification: A review
(Elsevier, 2022-05-01)
An accurate machine dynamic characterization is essential to properly describe the dynamic response of the machine or predict its cutting stability. However, it has been demonstrated that current conventional dynamic ...
Multiple Sensor Monitoring of CFRP Drilling to Define Cutting Parameters Sensitivity on Surface Roughness, Cylindricity and Diameter
(MDPI, 2020-06-21)
Machining parameters affects the final quality of components made in carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite materials. In this framework, the work here presented aims at studying the right combination of cutting ...
Self-Tuning Algorithm for Tuneable Clamping Table for Chatter Suppression in Blade Recontouring
(MDPI, 2021-03-13)
The production and repair of blades for aerospace engines and energy turbines is a complex process due their inherently low stiffness and damping properties. The final recontouring operation is usually performed by milling ...
Effect of Land Use/Cover Changes on Urban Cool Island Phenomenon in Seville, Spain
(MDPI, 2020-06-12)
This paper analyses Seville’s surface urban heat island (SUHI) phenomenon, comparing spatial and temporal patterns of land surface temperature (LST) during July 1987, 2000 and 2017. Landsat data captured throughout three ...
A Comparison of Numerical Approaches for the Design of Mooring Systems for Wave Energy Converters
(MDPI, 2020-07-16)
This paper analyses the numerical outcome of applying three different well-known mooring design approaches to a floating wave energy converter, moored by means of four catenary lines. The approaches include: a linearized ...
Identifying Elastic Constants for PPS Technical Material When Designing and Printing Parts Using FDM Technology
(MDPI, 2021-02-27)
This paper introduces a methodology to study the anisotropic elastic constants of technical phenylene polysulfide thermoplastic (PPS), printed using fused deposition modeling (FDM) in order to provide designers with a guide ...
