Size Dependence of the Magnetoelastic Properties of Metallic Glasses for Actuation Applications
(MDPI, 2019-10-04)
We present an exhaustive study of the magnetoelastic properties of 24 strips with different rectangular dimensions, cut from a long ribbon of Metglas((R)) 2826MB3. The strips have a length-to-width ratio R = L/w ranging ...
ANN-Based Airflow Control for an Oscillating Water Column Using Surface Elevation Measurements
(MDPI, 2020-01-29)
Oscillating water column (OWC) plants face power generation limitations due to the stalling phenomenon. This behavior can be avoided by an airflow control strategy that can anticipate the incoming peak waves and reduce its ...
Accurate Determination of the Q Quality Factor in Magnetoelastic Resonant Platforms for Advanced Biological Detection
(MDPI, 2018-03)
The main parameters of magnetoelastic resonators in the detection of chemical (i.e., salts, gases, etc.) or biological (i.e., bacteria, phages, etc.) agents are the sensitivity S (or external agent change magnitude per Hz ...
Aspects Concerning the Fabrication of Magnetorheological Fluids Containing High Magnetization FeCo Nanoparticles
(MDPI, 2021-03-23)
Recently, our collaborative work in the fabrication of a magnetorheological fluid (MRF) containing high magnetization FeCo nanoparticles (NPs, fabricated in our laboratories using the chemical reduction technique; MS = 212 ...
A Feedback Control Loop Optimisation Methodology for Floating Offshore Wind Turbines
(MDPI, 2019-09-10)
Wind turbines usually present several feedback control loops to improve or counteract some specific performance or behaviour of the system. It is common to find these multiple feedback control loops in Floating Offshore ...
On the links between limit characteristic zeros and stability properties of linear time-invariant systems with point delays and their delay-free counterparts
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2004)
We investigate the relationships between the infinitely many characteristic zeros (or modes) of linear systems subject to point delays and their delay-free counterparts based on algebraic results and theory of analytic ...
Development of Magnetically Active Scaffolds for Bone Regeneration
(MDPI, 2018-09)
This work reports on the synthesis, with the thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) technique, of poly (l-lactide) (PLLA) scaffolds containing Fe-doped hydroxyapatite (FeHA) particles for bone regeneration. Magnetization ...
A New Approach for the Fabrication of Cytocompatible PLLA-Magnetite Nanoparticle Composite Scaffolds
(MDPI, 2019-09-20)
Magnetic biomimetic scaffolds of poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and nanoparticles of magnetite (nFe(3)O(4)) are prepared in a wide ratio of compositions by lyophilization for bone regeneration. The magnetic properties, cytotoxicity, ...
3D Cytocompatible Composites of PCL/Magnetite
(MDPI, 2019-11-21)
A study of Magnetite (Fe3O4)as a suitable matrix for the improved adhesion and proliferation of MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblast cells in bone regeneration is presented. Biodegradable and magnetic polycaprolactone (PCL)/magnetite ...
An Advanced Control Technique for Floating Offshore Wind Turbines Based on More Compact Barge Platforms
(MDPI, 2018-05)
Hydrodynamic Floating Offshore Wind Turbine (FOWT) platform specifications are typically dominated by seaworthiness and maximum operating platform-pitch angle-related requirements. However, such specifications directly ...
