Identification of Key Performance Indicators in Project-Based Organisations through the Lean Approach
(MDPI, 2020-07-24)
For the time being, companies and organisations are being forced to compete in utterly complex and globalised environments, facing massive natural, economic, and technological challenges on a daily basis. Addressing these ...
Statistical Approach for the Design of Structural Self-Compacting Concrete with Fine Recycled Concrete Aggregate
(MDPI, 2020-12-09)
The compressive strength of recycled concrete is acknowledged to be largely conditioned by the incorporation ratio of Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA), although that ratio needs to be carefully assessed to optimize the ...
The Effect of the Laser Incidence Angle in the Surface of L-PBF Processed Parts
(MDPI, 2020-10-24)
The manufacture of multiple parts on the same platform is a common procedure in the Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) process. The main advantage is that the entire working volume of the machine is used and a greater number ...
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 ...
CO2 cryogenic milling of Inconel 718: cutting forces and tool wear Author links open overlay panel
(Elsevier, 2020-07)
Machining Inconel 718 alloy is a challenge due to its low machinability. This thermal resis-tant alloy combines high strength even at high temperatures with strain hardening tendency that causes high forces and extreme ...
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 ...
Analysis of the influence of L-PBF porosity on the mechanical behavior of AlSi10Mg by XRCT-based FEM
(Elsevier, 2023-01)
This work aims to present an XRCT-based FEM methodology to assess the influence of porosity defects on the mechanical behavior and failure of L-PBF AlSi10Mg components. Hence, the influence of defects on performance is ...
Comparison of dry and liquid carbon dioxide cutting conditions based on machining performance and life cycle assessment for end milling GFRP
(Springer, 2022-08)
In the present scenario, citizens' concern about environment preservation creates a necessity to mature more ecological and energy-efficient manufacturing processes and materials. The usage of glass fiber reinforced polymer ...
Assessing the economic impacts of forest certification in Spain: A longitudinal study
(Elsevier, 2023-02)
Forest certification has become a strategic instrument for businesses, particularly for accessing sensitive envi-ronmental markets and within sustainability commitments. This trend is also visible in Spain, where PEFC ...
Implementation of Passing Vehicle Search Algorithm for Optimization of WEDM Process of Nickel-Based Superalloy Waspaloy
(MDPI, 2022-12-09)
Nickel-based superalloys find their main use in missile engines, atomic devices, investigational aircraft, aerospace engineering, industrial applications, and automotive gas turbines, spacecraft petrochemical tools, steam ...
