Evaluating Disruptive Innovation Project Management Capabilities
(MDPI, 2020-12-22)
Firms must adapt to a business environment in constant flux. Economic and political factors and the constant interruption of new technologies force firms and organizations to change and to adapt, so that they are not left ...
A Reconfigurable Framework for Vehicle Localization in Urban Areas
(MDPI, 2022-03-28)
Accurate localization for autonomous vehicle operations is essential in dense urban areas. In order to ensure safety, positioning algorithms should implement fault detection and fallback strategies. While many strategies ...
Compound Formation And Microstructure Of As-Cast High Entropy Aluminums
(MDPI, 2018-03-09)
The aim of this work is to study the microstructure of four high entropy alloys (HEAs) produced by large scale vacuum die casting. Al40Cu15Mn5Ni5Si20Zn15, Al45Cu15Mn5Fe5Si5Ti5Zn20, Al35Cu5Fe5Mn5Si30V10Zr10, and ...
Solid Fraction Determination at the Rigidity Point by Advanced Thermal Analysis
(MDPI, 2021-11-27)
The aim of this work is to determine the Solid Fraction (SF) at the rigidity point (FRP) by applying advanced thermal analysis techniques. The variation of the FRP value is important to explain the solidification behavior ...
A Simplified Modeling Approach of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines for Dynamic Simulations
(MDPI, 2022-03-18)
Currently, floating offshore wind is experiencing rapid development towards a commercial scale. However, the research to design new control strategies requires numerical models of low computational cost accounting for the ...
Research Trends in Pavement Management during the First Years of the 21st Century: A Bibliometric Analysis during the 2000–2013 Period
(MDPI, 2018-07)
A bibliometric analysis based on Scopus database was carried out to identify the global research trends related to pavement management area from 2000 to 2013, and to improve the understanding of the research topics in that ...
IRI Performance Models for Flexible Pavements in Two-Lane Roads until First Maintenance and/or Rehabilitation Work
(MDPI, 2020-01-22)
Pavement performance models play a vital role in any pavement management system. The Regional Government of Biscay (RGB) (Spain) manages a 1200 km road network and conducts pavement data collections, including the International ...
On the study of train-track dynamic interactions caused by rail welds on discrete supported rails
(Elsevier, 2014-06-15)
The paper studies the influence of rail weld dip on wheel-rail contact dynamics, with particular reference to freight trains where it is important to increase the operating speed and also the load transported. This has ...
Design of an optimised wheel profile for rail vehicles operating on two track gauges
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-01)
This paper sets out an optimum synthesis methodology for wheel profiles of railway vehicles in order to secure good dynamic behaviour with different track configurations. Specifically, the optimisation process has been ...
SEM and EDS Characterisation of Layering TiOx Growth onto the Cutting Tool Surface in Hard Drilling Processes of Ti-Al-V Alloys
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2011)
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has been used to identify and analyse the secondary adhesion effect precursors formed during
the dry drilling processes of Ti-6Al-4V alloy over the rake face and flute of the drilling ...
