Despite the prevalence of machining, tools and cutting conditions are often chosen based on empirical databases, which are hard to be made, and they are only valid in the range of conditions tested to develop it. Predictive ...

The use of secondary aluminium is increasingly being promoted in the automotive industry for environmental reasons. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that it is possible to obtain a recycled AlSi10MnMg(Fe) ...

Polymer-based composites reinforced with nanocarbonaceous materials can be tailored for functional applications. Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNT) or graphene with different filler ...

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 ...

Electric drives consume a great amount of the world’s energy, and it will keep increasing due to the electromobility trend. Thus, the efficiency of electric drives must be improved to reach the desired sustainability goal. ...

Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis tools are the most adopted in the design of brushless alternating current motors due to the advantage of considering multi-physics effects with dependencies of variables such as ...

Industrial dimensional assessment presents instances in which early control is exerted among “warm” (approx. 600 ºC) pieces. Early control saves resources, as defective processes are timely stopped and corrected. Existing ...

Repositioning of the maxilla in orthognathic surgery is carried out for functional and aesthetic purposes. Pre-surgical planning tools can predict 3D facial appearance by computing the response of the soft tissue to the ...

The current energy model available in Spain is obsolete due to various circumstances, some technological, others social, economic or environmental. This supposes a tension in the economic and social model of the country. ...

This paper presents an analytical model, oriented to study harmonic mitigation aspects in AC grids. As it is well known, the presence of non-desired harmonics in AC grids can be palliated in several manners. However, in ...
