Fatigue Life Estimation Model of Repaired Components with the Expanded Stop-Hole Technique
(MDPI, 2024-02-01)
Fatigue crack growth tests are conducted to assess the efficacy of the stop-hole crack repair method. This straightforward and widely adopted technique involves drilling a hole at the crack tip and subsequently enlarging ...
On-Screen Visual Feedback Effect on Static Balance Assessment with Perturbations
(MDPI, 2024-02-29)
In this study, the novel mobile dynamometric platform, OREKA, was utilized to perform an extensive analysis of the centre of pressure behaviour during different tilt motion exercises. This platform is based on a parallel ...
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 ...
A novel python-based floating offshore wind turbine simulation framework
(Elsevier, 2024-02)
The expansion of floating offshore wind brings the industry closer to achieving commercial viability. However, the challenging environment characterised by strong winds, waves, and currents, along with the growing size of ...
Digital Twin of the laser-DED process based on a multiscale approach
(Elsevier, 2024-04)
The ramp-up of new geometries, process parameters, and materials can be enormously time and cost-intensive in Additive Manufacturing. Especially for Laser-Directed Energy Deposition (DED-L), the extreme physical environment ...
Influence of V concentration in TiAlSiVN coating on self-lubrication, friction and tool wear during two-pass dry turning of austenitic steel 316 L
(Elsevier, 2024-05)
The present work investigates the performance of TiAlSiVN coating with 5 and 11 at% of V concentration deposited on the Al2O3/SiC cutting tools during dry turning of austenitic 316 L stainless steel. The maximum flank wear ...

(Elsevier, 2021-05-28)
Road landmark inventory is becoming an important data product for the maintenance of transport infrastructures. Several commercial sensors are available which include synchronized optical cameras that allowto build 360° ...
Above-ground biomass estimation from LiDAR data using random forest algorithms
(Elsevier, 2022-02)
Random forest (RF) models were developed to estimate the biomass for the Pinus radiata species in a region of the Basque Autonomous Community where this species has high cover, using the National Forest Inventory, allometric ...
Delamination Fracture Behavior of Unidirectional Carbon Reinforced Composites Applied to Wind Turbine Blades
(MDPI, 2021-01-27)
One of the materials that is used widely for wind turbine blade manufacturing are fiber-reinforced composites. Although glass fiber reinforcement is the most used in wind turbine blades, the use of carbon fiber allows ...
Devices for gait and balance rehabilitation: General classification and a narrative review of end effector-based manipulators
(MDPI, 2024-05-14)
Gait and balance have a direct impact on patients’ independence and quality of life. Due to a higher life expectancy, the number of patients suffering neurological disorders has increased exponentially, with gait and balance ...
