Some industrial applications require structured surfaces with high roughness values to ensure their functionality (Ra > 1 µm, Rmax < 30 µm). In order to obtain these structured surfaces with high roughness values, face ...

Spherical gear couplings are machine elements that enable power transmission between highly misaligned shafts. The highly crowned tooth surfaces and the presence of undercut sections, have been a matter of disagreement ...

This article focuses the analysis on a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) that operates simultaneously providing reactive power and several current harmonics of different frequencies (active power filter or active ...

Cooperation between universities and business is manifest in a wide range of activities related to the three missions of the entrepreneurial university: education, research and entrepreneurship. However, the vast majority ...

In this work, the thermal sterilization process in food cans has been analyzed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). STAR CCM+ software has been used in order to develop a numerical model to study the heating process ...

Although much research has been carried out in the field of the milling of GFRP (Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer) composites, the complexity of the process is such that it is still not mastered in many industrial cases. The ...

This article presents an innovative energy recovery shock absorber system for motorcycles. The shock absorber is named synchronous pulley - energy harvesting shock absorber (SP-EHSA). The SP-EHSA is the first system ...

This paper presents an electromagnetic design alternative using the so-called banana-shaped magnets, achieving magnet weight reduction of 21.82% for the same performance as the baseline motor in the case study. Typically, ...

Surface topography irregularities generated by broaching are analysed. Experimental tests were carried out on three workpiece materials: AISI 1045, Ti-6Al-4V, and Inconel 718, varying the cutting speed, rise per tooth, and ...

Contribution of finite element method (FEM) as a modelling and simulation technique to represent complex tribological processes has improved our understanding about various biomaterials. This paper presents a review of the ...
