With electric vehicles becoming more and more popular, the classic “general purpose” vehicle concept is changing to a “dedicated vehicle” concept. Light trucks for goods delivery in cities are one of the examples. The ...

Every machine-tool user wants to maximize the productivity of their machines looking for balance between speed, precision and lifetime of mechanical components. Nevertheless, because CNCs have wide-ranging use, their correct ...

Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs) are increasingly being used and are required to satisfy noise and vibration specifications. Thus, it is necessary to develop design guidelines for electric motors that consider ...

This paper focuses on the design of a charging unit for an electric vehicle fast charging station. With this purpose, in first place, different solutions that exist for fast charging stations are described through a brief ...

The stability of thermocapillary/buoyant flows is affected by a remote thermal source. We present a nonlinear two-phase computational study of convection in a liquid bridge that develops under the action of Marangoni and ...

This article studies the new benefits that partial power processing brings to Silicon (Si) devices compared to wide-bandgap technologies. To prove this, the proposed case study consists of an on-board charger (OBC) application ...

The European higher education landscape has experienced dramatic changes in the last decades and the entrepreneurial university has turned into a potential solution to these perceived problems. Therefore, this paper proposes ...

Purpose Periodontitis, a ubiquitous severe gum disease affecting the teeth and surrounding alveolar bone, can heighten systemic inflammation. We investigated the association between very severe periodontitis and early ...

A novel multi-directional eddy current thermography (ECT) system is presented generating sets of directional phase images that have been fused with a processing pipeline allowing for an improved probability of detection ...

In the present work, novel type III and type V deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were prepared by mixing choline chloride (ChCl), tetrabutylammonium chloride (TBAC) or thymol as HBA, and different alkyl chain length carboxylic ...
