This work presents a coupled 3D wear and fatigue numerical procedure for fretting problems in ultra-high strength steel wires that combines Archard’s wear equation with the Smith–Watson–Topper parameter to predict crack ...

CAD systems are indispensable tools in the product design and development process. Through the creation of parametric 3D models,they increase productivity, enable the design of highly complex parts, improve ...

Machining operations affect the properties of the final surface layer, and these can impact on its functional per- formance, particularly on fatigue behaviour. Among the properties of the machined surface, surface topography ...

Battery electric vehicles become an increasingly interesting alternative to conventional vehicles with combustion engine as the costs decrease and the driving range improves. Although, the significant decrease of the driving ...

High-precision metal cutting is increasingly relevant in advanced applications. Such precision normally requires a cutting feed in the micron or even sub-micron dimension scale, which raises questions about applicability ...

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 ...

Deep learning techniques are being increasingly used in the scientific community as a consequence of the high computational capacity of current systems and the increase in the amount of data available as a result of the ...

While interferometry has been widely used for diffusion measurements in liquid mixtures, it was hardly applied so far to vapour-gas mixtures. The present work aims to bridge this gap. Using an improved Mach–Zehnder ...

This work presents a critical assessment of wear volume determination methods for ball-on-flat linear reciprocating sliding tribological tests. It revealed that the ASTM D7755-11 standard leads to the highest relative ...

Steady-state measurements in a thermogravitational microcolumn using optical digital interferometry are presented here for the first time in the literature in the case of ternary mixtures. These measurements enabled the ...
