Kinematic Analysis of a Flexible Tensegrity Robot
(Springer, 2017)
In the field of parallel kinematics few designs use highly deformable elements to obtain the end effector movement. Most compliant mechanisms rely on notches or shape changes to simulate a standard kinematic joint. In this ...
A dynamic data driven application system for real-time simulation of resin transfer moulding processes
(Springer, 2022)
[EN] This paper presents a numerical solution to optimize RTM processes based on a DDDAS methodology, taking permeability as stochastic. The model proposed in this investigation allows real-time accurate prediction of the ...
Development of plasma based surfaces, supported by electro-tribological studies.
(2019-03-01)
Los tratamientos de superficie basados en tecnologías de plasma ofrecen un amplio abanico de posibilidades para el desarrollo de soluciones a problemas tribológicos (fricción, desgaste, etc.). Por otra parte, la combinación ...
Performance of Optimization Algorithms in the Model Fitting of the Multi-Scale Numerical Simulation of Ductile Iron Solidification
(MDPI, 2020-08-08)
The use of optimization algorithms to adjust the numerical models with experimental values has been applied in other fields, but the efforts done in metal casting sector are much more limited. The advances in this area may ...
Metamodels’ Development for High Pressure Die Casting of Aluminum Alloy
(MDPI, 2021-10-31)
Simulation is a very useful tool in the design of the part and process conditions of high-pressure die casting (HPDC), due to the intrinsic complexity of this manufacturing process. Usually, physics-based models solved by ...
Using nodal coordinates as variables for the dimensional synthesis of mechanisms
(Springer, 2018-06)
The method of the lower deformation energy has been successfully used for the synthesis of mechanisms for quite a while. It has shown to be a versatile, yet powerful method for assisting in the design of mechanisms. Until ...
Optimization of Planar Mechanisms by using a Minimum Distance Function
(Elsevier, 2019-08)
The paper examines the application of a general minimum distance error function to the
dimensional kinematic synthesis of bidimensional mechanisms. The minimum distance ap-
proach makes it possible to solve the problem ...
A Rubric to Assess and Improve Technical Writing in Undergraduate Engineering Courses
(MDPI, 2021-03-24)
Although there is consensus in the literature that writing skills are important in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) studies, they are often neglected. However, some efforts have been made to correct ...
Analysis of University STEM Students’ Mathematical, Linguistic, Rhetorical–Organizational Assignment Errors
(MDPI, 2021-04-06)
Although Error Analysis (EA) has been broadly used in Foreign Language and Mother Tongue learning contexts, it has not been applied in the field of engineering and by STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) ...
Performance of Gradient-Based Solutions versus Genetic Algorithms in the Correlation of Thermal Mathematical Models of Spacecrafts
(Hindawi, 2017)
The correlation of the thermalmathematical models (TMMs) of spacecrafts with the results of the thermal test is a demanding task in terms of time and effort. Theoretically, it can be automatized by means of optimization ...
