On the Role of Contact and System Stiffness in the Measurement of Principal Variables in Fretting Wear Testing
(MDPI AG, 2020)
In this work, the role of the contact stiffness in the measurement of principal variables in fretting wear tests is assessed. Several fretting wear tribometers found in the literature, including one developed by the authors, ...
Managing Multiple Projects in Uncertain Contexts: A Case Study on the Application of a New Approach Based on the Critical Chain Method
(MDPI AG, 2020)
Uncertainty and change are two features of modern project management. They strongly influence the project management needs to operate in such contexts. This is the case when a complete and accurate definition of the scope ...
Validation of Random Forest Machine Learning Models to Predict Dementia-Related Neuropsychiatric Symptoms in Real-World Data
(IOS Press, 2020)
Background: Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) are the leading cause of the social burden of dementia but their role is underestimated.
Objective: The objective of the study was to validate predictive models to separately ...
Investigating the performance of 410, PH13-8Mo and 300M steelsin a turning process with a focus on surfacefinish
(Elsevier Ltd., 2020)
This study generated novel behavioural data for three engineering steels undergoing a turning process. The materialswere hardened 410, PH13-8Mo and 300M, two stainless steels and one high strength steel respectively. A ...
Estimación cualitativa de la rugosidad mediante algoritmos de aprendizaje automático en una operación de taladradoQualitative estimation of the roughness using automatic learning algorithms in a drilling operation

Does employee participation matter? An empirical study on the effects of participation on well-being and organizational performance
(Springer-Verlag GmbH, 2020)
Employability, talent and/or motivation of people can be a source of sustainable competitive advantage; difficult for competitors to imitate. The involvement of people, and more specifically employee participation, has ...
An analytical approach to calculate stress concentration factors of machined surfaces
(Elsevier Ltd., 2021)
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 ...
Thermophoresis as a technique for separation of nanoparticle species in microfluidic devices
(Elsevier Masson SAS, 2020)
This paper presents numerical studies of thermophoresis approach for separation of nanoparticles in liquid media. We simulated the thermophoresis process to test it as a method of separation of particles in suspension. At ...
A novel forming technique to coforge bimetal components into complex geometries
(Elsevier Ltd., 2020)
The novel Near Solidus Forming process has been used to coforge stainless steel 304 to encapsulate a core of 42CrMo4 steel in Stainless 304 in the form of a complex spindle. The forging was achieved with a force of 280 t, ...
