In-SEM micro-machining reveals the origins of the size effect in the cutting energy
(Springer Nature, 2021)
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 ...
Partial Power Processing Based Converter for Electric Vehicle Fast Charging Stations
(MDPI, 2021)
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 ...
Diffusion of Quinine with Ethanol as a Co-Solvent in Supercritical CO2
(MDPI, 2020)
This study aims at contributing to quinine extraction using supercritical CO2 and ethanol as a co-solvent. The diffusion coefficients of quinine in supercritical CO2 are measured using the Taylor dispersion technique when ...
Evaluating Disruptive Innovation Project Management Capabilities
(MDPI, 2021)
Firms must adapt to a business environment in constant flux. Economic and political factors and the constant interruption of new technologies force firms and organizations to change and to adapt, so that they are not left ...
FlexRQC: Model for a Flexible Robot-Driven Quality Control Station
(Elsevier Ltd., 2020)
As the investment on a dedicated quality control stations is not desirable for limited production batches. In general, those systems result in very optimised systems and the lack of flexibility since they are designed for ...
Foveal Pit Morphology Characterization: A Quantitative Analysis of the Key Methodological Steps
(MDPI, 2021)
Disentangling the cellular anatomy that gives rise to human visual perception is one of the main challenges of ophthalmology. Of particular interest is the foveal pit, a concave depression located at the center of the ...
Friction Stir Welding of AA2099-T83 and AA2060-T8E30 Aluminium Alloys with New Cr-Free Surface Treatments and Sealant Application
(MDPI, 2021)
The feasibility for friction stir welding (FSW) surface-treated AA2099-T83 aluminium extrusions with AA2060-T8E30 aluminium sheets in the overlap configuration and using a sealant at the interface was investigated in this ...
Impregnation quality diagnosis in Resin Transfer Moulding by machine learning
(Elsevier Ltd., 2021)
In recent years, several optimization strategies have been developed which reduce the overall defectiveness of the RTM manufactured part. RTM filling simulations showed that, even using optimized injection strategies, local ...
Application Dependent End-of-Life Threshold Definition Methodology for Batteries in Electric Vehicles
(MDPI, 2021)
The end-of-life event of the battery system of an electric vehicle is defined by a fixed end-oflife threshold value. However, this kind of end-of-life threshold does not capture the application and battery characteristics ...
New design for assembly (DfA) methodology for large and heavy parts assembled on site
(Elsevier Ltd., 2021)
A literature review on the assembly design methodologies (DfA) oriented to the assembly of large and heavy parts, reveals the need to develop a DfA methodology. In addition, the lack of DfA evaluation methods for on-site ...
