The increase in the use of composite materials in recent years has led the industry into the development of new composite manufacturing processes, like the 3D ultraviolet pultrusion. These new manufacturing processes usually ...

The force that a servo press exerts forming a workpiece is one the most important magnitudes in any metal forming operation. The process force, along with the characteristics of the die, is what shapes the workpiece. When ...

Many mechanical components such as, bearing housings, exible couplings and spines or steel wires are simultaneously subjected to fatigue and fretting damage. Fretting phenomenon arises when two bodies are in contact subjected ...

Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications are critical to enable Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) to interact and coordinate with each other. Their continuous information exchange facilitates cooperative automated driving that ...

Chatter is commonly found when machining slender components on a lathe due to the low stiffness and damping. Aspects such as accuracy and roughness are usually compromised owing to large variation in stiffness along the ...

The benefits of using Power Electronics Based DC Distribution Systems in electrically propelled vessels are well known. However, some aspects must be deeply analyzed to guarantee a safe, robust and stable system by design. ...
