Manufacturing Processes of Integral Blade Rotors for Turbomachinery, Processes and New Approaches
(MDPI, 2020-04-28)
Manufacturing techniques applied to turbomachinery components represent a challenge in the aeronautical sector. These components are commonly composed of high resistant super-alloys; in order to satisfy the extreme working ...
Abrasive Disc Performance in Dry-Cutting of Medium-Carbon Steel
(2020-04-19)
Abrasive-cutting processes are widely used to obtain semi-finished products from metal bars, slabs, or tubes. Thus, the abrasive cutting-off process is applied when requiring precision cutting and productivity at a moderate ...
Effects of Gravity and Non-Perpendicularity during Powder-Fed Directed Energy Deposition of Ni-Based Alloy 718 through Two Types of Coaxial Nozzle
(MDPI, 2020-04-24)
The consequences of gravity and the nozzle inclination angle in the powder-fed Directed Energy Deposition (DED) process were examined in this study. We also sought to define guidelines and manufacturing strategies, depending ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
Expectations and limitations of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) for Advanced Manufacturing: A View from the Grinding Industry
(MDPI, 2020-09-22)
Grinding is a critical technology in the manufacturing of high added-value precision parts, accounting for approximately 20–25% of all machining costs in the industrialized world. It is a commonly used process in the ...
