The environmental protection, with special emphasis on CO2 emissions reduction, is a growing demand that the transport industry has to fulfill. Carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) are interesting candidates as they can ...

Pultrusion, the manufacturing process analysed in this research work, is one of the most automatised processes to obtain continuous profiles with high fibre volume fraction; and consequently, elevated mechanical properties. ...

The main objective of this research, in which the present doctoral thesis is contextualized, is the development of strategies for the optimization of the set-up and the analysis of grinding processes, focusing on infeed ...

Tal y como ocurre en otros sectores, el propósito de la reducción de emisiones de CO2 en el sector aeronáutico viene dado por el acuerdo internacional del protocolo de Kyoto (Naciones unidas 1998). El objetivo principal ...

Weight reduction is the most cost-effective mean to improve fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector. Combining steel and aluminum in a hybrid structure will implement the integrated ...

Tanto la globalización como la tendencia europea de reducir a cero el impacto medioambiental, así como la reducción de las emisiones, ha generado un gran impacto tanto en las acerías como en los fabricantes de componentes ...

The demand for lightweight fuel-efficient vehicles and the increasing industrial competitiveness between constructors have motivated the automotive industry to introduce new materials and to reinforce the accuracy of metal ...

Since the conception of the first Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) in the 1960s, Industrial Control Systems (ICSs) have evolved vastly. From the primitive isolated setups, ICSs have become increasingly interconnected, ...

Nowadays, the requirements demanded to many of the parts used in such industries as the aeronautic or the automotive industry are increasingly higher: more complex shapes, previously unimaginable, lower and lower radii, ...

Investment casting of magnesium is a process well suited for the production of aeronautic and automotive components, as light density components in medium and small series are obtained. But, still nowadays, this process ...
