The construction sector represents one of the most significant sources of waste generation in the European Union (EU), with nearly one billion tonnes of construction and demolition waste annually. This sector also contributes ...

This study assesses for the first time the drivers, opportunities, barriers, and strategies for the transition to a circular economy in Latin America and the Caribbean through a comprehensive systematic review of the current ...

Despite the strong contribution of wind energy for decarbonisation, the readiness of the wind industry for the transition to a sustainable circular economy (CE) is still unclear. To support CE innovation in the wind industry, ...

The construction of innovative urban agriculture systems in cities has increased due to food and environmental concerns. While the environmental performance of urban agriculture has been extensively studied, research on ...

This paper presents an electromagnetic design alternative using the so-called banana-shaped magnets, achieving magnet weight reduction of 21.82% for the same performance as the baseline motor in the case study. Typically, ...

Based on the identification of a new multimethod tool necessity, a new tool called Eyeface has been created by combining two different devices: the Eye-tracking and the Facereader. This research work analyses a new multimethod ...

The aim of this work is to show the influence of defining a pressure dependent friction coefficient onnumerical springback predictions of a DX54D mild steel, a HSLA380 and a DP780 high strength steel. Thepressure dependent ...

The elastic behaviour of TRIP 700 steel under plastic deformation is analysed. The analysis is carried out by means of classical tensile test and loading–unloading cyclic tests. These tests have been performed using high ...

The competitiveness of the automotive sector has led to a high demand of accuracy and reduction in lead-time of the deep drawing tool making process. In that regard, the numerical simulation of the deep drawing process has ...
