Electrochemical models are an incipient technique for estimation of battery cells internal variables, useful for cells design or state of function optimization. One of the non-trivial procedures that allow the use of this ...

Research and application of reinforcement learning in robotics for contact-rich manipulation tasks have exploded in recent years. Its ability to cope with unstructured environments and accomplish hard-to-engineer behaviors ...

When inventory management, distribution and routing decisions are determined simultaneously, implementing a vendor-managed inventory strategy, a difficult combinatorial optimization problem must be solved to determine which ...

The massive integration of power electronic converters into the power grid has led to a decrease in the mechanical inertia of power systems, causing an increase in the rate of change of frequency (RoCoF) that may lead to ...

Forging at near solidus material state takes advantage of the high ductility of the material at the semi solid or soft-solid state while keeping most of the mechanical properties of a forged part. The technology is at ...

In machining of Ti-6Al-4V, it is commonly reported the appearance of segmented chip produced by adiabatic shearing (at high cutting speeds) and lack of ductility (at low cutting speeds). Moreover, machining is a manufacturing ...

Tool condition monitoring have an important role in machining processes to reduce defective component and ensure quality requirements. Stopping the process before the tool breaks or an excessive tool wear is reached can ...

Industry 4.0 provides increasing opportunities for manufacturing companies in servitization, which has led to the emergence of digital servitization. Several single case studies have suggested service design as a means to ...
