A New Approach in the Design of Microstructured Ultralight Components to Achieve Maximum Functional Performance
(MDPI, 2021-03-24)
In the energy and aeronautics industry, some components need to be very light but with high strength. For instance, turbine blades and structural components under rotational centrifugal forces, or internal supports, ask ...
Fatigue Design of Dental Implant Assemblies: A Nominal Stress Approach
(MDPI, 2020-06-03)
Fatigue is the most common mechanical failure type in dental implants. ISO 14801 standardizes fatigue testing of dental implants, providing the load-life curve which is most useful for comparing the fatigue behavior of ...
Fatigue performance of prosthetic screws used in dental implant restorations: Rolled versus cut threads
(Elsevier, 2021-09)
Statement of problem. Cold rolling is widely used for screw thread manufacturing in industry but is less common in implant dentistry, where cutting is the preferred manufacturing method.
Purpose. The purpose of this in ...
New Processes and Machine Tools for Advanced Metal Alloys
(2020-02-06)
Advanced materials are crucial for the development of many industrial sectors such as aerospace, automotive, energy, among others. These materials show superior mechanical characteristics of strength, hardness, toughness, ...
On the Use of a Simplified Slip Limit Equation to Predict Screw Self-Loosening of Dental Implants Subjected to External Cycling Loading
(MDPI, 2020-09-26)
Self-loosening of the prosthetic screws is a major mechanical problem affecting roughly 10% of dental implants, according to the literature. This phenomenon may lead to micro-movements that produce crestal bone loss, ...
Evaluating Disruptive Innovation Project Management Capabilities
(MDPI, 2020-12-22)
Firms must adapt to a business environment in constant flux. Economic and political factors and the constant interruption of new technologies force firms and organizations to change and to adapt, so that they are not left ...
Solid Fraction Determination at the Rigidity Point by Advanced Thermal Analysis
(MDPI, 2021-11-27)
The aim of this work is to determine the Solid Fraction (SF) at the rigidity point (FRP) by applying advanced thermal analysis techniques. The variation of the FRP value is important to explain the solidification behavior ...
IRI Performance Models for Flexible Pavements in Two-Lane Roads until First Maintenance and/or Rehabilitation Work
(MDPI, 2020-01-22)
Pavement performance models play a vital role in any pavement management system. The Regional Government of Biscay (RGB) (Spain) manages a 1200 km road network and conducts pavement data collections, including the International ...
Do we know how urban heritage is being endangered by climate change? A systematic and critical review
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
[EN]It is worldwide accepted that climate change is affecting cities and that the conservation of the cultural heritage contributes to sustainable development. However, despite the high level of interest and research in ...
Influence of AISI D2 Workpiece Roughness on Heat Partition and Plasma Channel Radius in the WEDM Process
(MDPI, 2020-10-12)
As an important advanced machining process, in Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) certain fundamental issues remain need to be studied in-depth, such as the effect of part surface roughness on heat transfer mechanisms. ...
