Ball-on-flat linear reciprocating tests: Critical assessment of wear volume determination methods and suggested improvements for ASTM D7755 standard
(Elsevier B.V., 2021)
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 ...
Human‑centred design in industry 4.0: case study review and opportunities for future research
(Springer, 2021)
The transition to industry 4.0 has impacted factories, but it also afects the entire value chain. In this sense, human-centred factors play a core role in transitioning to sustainable manufacturing processes and consumption. ...
Circular economy implementation in the agricultural sector: Definition, strategies and indicators
(Elsevier B.V., 2021)
In the current context of resource scarcity, global climate change, environmental degradation, and increasing food demand, the circular economy (CE) represents a promising strategy for supporting sustainable, restorative, ...
Design of a Radiant Heat Capturing Device for Steel Mills
(International Centre for Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems, 2021)
This paper approaches the energy transition towards decarbonization and lower primary energy use in the steel and glass industries through the exploitation of radiant waste heat. In contrast with exhaust gases heat recovery, ...
A novel formulation for radial fretting wear: Application to false brinelling in thrust bearings
(Elsevier Ltd., 2021)
Radial fretting is defined as the damage caused by the relative motion of a ball under a variable normal load. The conducted experimental tests proved the existence of this damage even in contacting bodies with similar ...
Uncut chip geometry determination for cutting forces prediction in orthogonal turn-milling operations considering the tool profile and eccentricity
(Elsevier Ltd., 2021)
The cutting forces generated in machining are responsible for the tool deflection, part distortion, and features as chatter; therefore, their accurate estimation is fundamental to defining stable and safe working conditions ...
Healthcare costs of breast, prostate, colorectal and lung cancer care by clinical stage and cost component = Costes de la atención de los cánceres de mama, próstata, colorrectal y pulmón por estadio clínico y componente de coste
(Elsevier España, S.L.U., 2021)
Objective: To measure 3-year care costs of breast, prostate, colorectal and lung cancers disaggregated bysite and clinical stage.Method: A retrospective observational design was employed to investigate care costs of cases ...
Theory of constraints case study in the make to order environment
(Omnia Science, 2021)
Purpose: The theory of constraints (TOC) drum-buffer-rope methodology is appropriate when managing a production plant in complex environments, such as make-to-order (MTO) scenarios. However, some difficulties have been ...
A Model for Measuring and Managing the Impact of Design on the Organization: Insights from Four Companies
(MDPI, 2021)
Increasing numbers of companies are looking to embed design as a strategic capability to meet today’s business and social challenges. However, integrating design in an organization is a challenge, due to the scarcity of ...
The Positive Loop at Work: A Longitudinal Long-Term Study of Transformational Leadership, Group Passion, and Employee Result
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021)
