• An ad-hoc fretting wear tribotester design for thin steel wires 

      Llavori, Inigo; Zabala, Alaitz; Tato, Wilson; Aginagalde, Andrea; Gómez Rodríguez, Xabier (EDP Sciences, 2018)
      Steel wire ropes experience fretting wear damage when the rope runs over a sheave promoting an oscillatory motion between the wires. Consequently, wear scars appear between the contacting wires leading to an ...
    • Contact pressure and sliding velocity ranges in sheet metal forming simulations 

      Cillaurren Arriaga, Joseba; GALDOS, Lander; Sanchez Palomar, Mario; Zabala, Alaitz; Sáenz de Argandoña, Eneko; Mendiguren, Joseba (2021)
      In the last few years many efforts have been carried out in order to better understand what the real contact between material and tools is. Based on the better understanding new friction models have been developed which ...
    • Elektrospinning bidezko PCL nanozuntzen lorpena larruazal-birsorkuntzarako 

      RODRIGUEZ-FLOREZ, NAIARA; Zabala, Alaitz; Lapeira, Estela; Buruaga, Lorea (UEU, 2019)
      Skin ulcers are a serious threat to public health system, and, although wound healing is a natural process, a proper dressing can improve the healing process. In this work, platelet rich plasma (PRP) coated polycaprolactone ...
    • Faktore klimatikoen degradazioaren efektua igogailuetako kable-polea trakzio sistemaren adherentzian 

      Barayazarra Benitez, Nerea; Zabala, Alaitz; Pecharroman Eizaguirre, Lander; Tato, Wilson; Aginagalde, Andrea (Tecnalia, 2021)
      Igogailuak trakzionatzeko existitzen diren hainbat metodoen artean kable eta polea bidezko trakzio-sistema oso arrunta da. Trakzio-sistema honetan kablearen eta polearen arteko itsaspenak berebiziko garrantzia du, eta ...
    • The use of areal surface topography characterisation in relation to fatigue performance 

      Zabala, Alaitz; Llavori, Inigo; Tato, Wilson; Aginagalde, Andrea; Gómez Rodríguez, Xabier (EDP Sciences, 2018)
      Although the effect of surface topography on fatigue life is widely accepted, the underlying role of surface roughness from first principles is still poorly understood. Currently approaches which consider the ...
