Design and characterisation of cellular composite structures for automotive crashboxes manufactured by out of die ultraviolet cured pultrusion
(Elsevier B.V., 2019-03-01)
The present paper analyses the feasibility of designing a honeycomb-like crash-box, as a cellular structure, based on data obtained from the characterisation of the building block. In order to generalise the conclusions ...
How to negotiate with dominant suppliers? A game-theory perspective from the industry
(Universidad Politécnica de Madrid; Asociación de Ingenieros para el Desarrollo de la Ingeniería de Organización, 2019)
The negotiation with dominant suppliers usually drives to locked-in situation in which buyers have no choice but to accept the given conditions. Commonly found in the industry, there is a need to provide new insights to ...
Lack of association of cranial lacunae with intracranial hypertension in children with Crouzon syndrome and Apert syndrome: a 3D morphometric quantitative analysis
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2019)
Purpose Cranial lacunae (foci of attenuated calvarial bone) are CT equivalents ofBcopper beating seen on plain skull radio-graphs in children with craniosynostosis. The qualitative presence of copper beating has not been ...
Artificial Neural Network Based Reinforcement Learning for Wind Turbine Yaw Control
(MDPI AG, 2019)
This paper introduces a novel data driven yaw control algorithm synthesis method based on Reinforcement Learning (RL) for a variable pitch variable speed wind turbine. Yaw control has not been extendedly studied in the ...
Mixed convolutional and long short-term memory network for the detection of lethal ventricular arrhythmia
(2019)
Early defibrillation by an automated external defibrillator (AED) is key for the survival of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. ECG feature extraction and machine learning have been successfully used to detect ...

(Science China PressSpringer-Verlag GmbH, 2019)
This work presents a short and very efficientmethod to produce high performance textured Ca3Co4O9thermoelectric materials through initial powders modifica-tion. Microstructure has shown good grain orientation, andlow ...
Development of a Modular Fretting Wear and Fretting Fatigue Tribometer for Thin Steel Wires: Design Concept and Preliminary Analysis of the Effect of Crossing Angle on Tangential Force
(MDPI AG, 2019)
This work presents the design of a modular ad-hoc fretting fatigue and fretting wear tribotester for thin steel wires. The working principles of the diffrent modules are described, such as the displacement and contact ...
A Multicriteria Decision Model for the Evaluation and Selection of Technologies in a R&D Centre
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2019)
R&D Centres play a key role in the technology development process of industries, and therefore in their competitive strategies. They have responsibility in the identification, selection, acquisition, development and transfer ...
Induction Skull Melting of Ti-6Al-4V: Process Control and Efficiency Optimization
(MDPI AG, 2019)
Titanium investment casting is one of the leading and most e cient near-net-shape manufacturing processes, since complex shape components are possible to obtain with a very low amount of material waste. But melting these ...
Electromechanical Properties of PVDF-Based Polymers Reinforced with Nanocarbonaceous Fillers for Pressure Sensing Applications
(MDPI AG, 2019)
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 ...
