Butterfly valves are widely used industrial piping components as on-off and flow controlling devices. The main challenge in the design process of this type of valves is the correct dimensioning to ensure ...

Valves are mechanical devices for controlling fluid-flow in pipes of different diameter and service pressures used in several industry sectors. Most demanding industry sectors add custom design requirements and require ...

In recent decades, there has been a perceptible transformation in how glass is perceived, evolving from being used for its aesthetic appeal to being acknowledged for its structural capabilities. Structural glass components ...

Las restricciones en cuanto a emisiones de CO2 a la atmósfera promovidas por la Unión Europea han obligado a reducir el peso de los vehículos y con ello, de los componentes que los integran. Esto ha originado una transición ...

Temperature measurement in metal cutting is of central importance as tool wear and surface integrity have been demonstrated to be temperature dependent. In this context, infrared thermography is presented as a reliable ...

Critical aero-engine components such as turbine discs must withstand severe cyclic stresses, which can eventually lead to low cycle fatigue (LCF) failures. These components are made of difficult-to-cut alloys and machining ...

As automated warehouses become more central to supply chains, the durability and safety of rack structures—especially shuttle rails—are increasingly critical. These components face repeated loading cycles, making them ...

In casting parts, due to the manufacturing process, the presence of defects such as porosity, inclusions and oxide films is unavoidable. All these irregularities have a negative effect on the component ...

The structural performance of glass mainly depends on the surface quality and the residual stress state. Surface damage produced during the manufacturing process or subsequent handling, might lead to the presence of ...
