New Procedure for Compacting Prismatic Specimens of Cement-Treated Base Materials
(MDPI, 2018-07)
Understanding the long-term behaviour of cement-treated base materials is a key factor to improve its design and obtain environmentally friendly pavement base materials. Their characterization requires manufacturing prismatic ...
A Series of Vertical Deflections, a Promising Traffic Calming Measure: Analysis and Recommendations for Spacing
(MDPI, 2020-05-13)
Traffic calming measures (TCM) are placed in urban areas to improve road safety, and among them, vertical TCMs are widely employed. Many researches are focused on the influence of the geometry of each measure on speed ...
Analysis of the Efficiency of Traffic Lights Turning Red in Case of Exceeding Speed Limit
(Universidad Nacional de Colombia, 2021-04)
Due to the presence of various traffic calming measures (TCM) and traffic lights in urban areas, the speed of vehicles is maintained low. Nevertheless, a problem arises in the frontier between urban and non-urban areas ...
Advances in the Study of the Behavior of Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR) with Cement
(MDPI, 2019-08-01)
Road maintenance and rehabilitation are expected to meet modern society's demands for sustainable development. Full-depth reclamation with cement as a binder is closely linked to the concept of sustainability. In addition ...
Bitumen modified with recycled polyurethane foam for employment in hot mix asphalt
(Universidad Nacional de Colombia, 2018-04)
A wide variety of modifiers have been applied to bitumen in order to enhance their properties and performance. Among them, polymers have been mainly used. The aim of this paper is to assess the use of polyurethane foam ...
Semi-Active Magnetorheological Damper Device for Chatter Mitigation during Milling of Thin-Floor Components
(MDPI, 2020-07-31)
The productivity during the machining of thin-floor components is limited due to unstable vibrations, which lead to poor surface quality and part rejection at the last stage of the manufacturing process. In this article, ...
Design and Testing of Two Haptic Devices Based on Reconfigurable 2R Joints
(MDPI, 2021-12-30)
per presents the design and testing of two haptic devices, based on reconfigurable 2R joints: an active 2R spherical mechanism-based joint and a differential gear-based joint. Based on our previous works, in which the ...
Special Issue on “Machining Dynamics and Parameters Process Optimization”
(MDPI, 2020-12-14)
In 1907, F.W Taylor—the father of production engineering—exposed the fundamentals of modern machining and defined chatter as the most obscure and delicate of all problems facing the machinist [...]
