Estimation of the Heat Loss Coefficient of Two Occupied Residential Buildings through an Average Method
(MDPI, 2020-11-02)
The existing performance gap between the design and the real energy consumption of a building could have three main origins: the occupants’ behaviour, the performance of the energy systems and the performance of the building ...
Identification of Key Performance Indicators in Project-Based Organisations through the Lean Approach
(MDPI, 2020-07-24)
For the time being, companies and organisations are being forced to compete in utterly complex and globalised environments, facing massive natural, economic, and technological challenges on a daily basis. Addressing these ...
Statistical Approach for the Design of Structural Self-Compacting Concrete with Fine Recycled Concrete Aggregate
(MDPI, 2020-12-09)
The compressive strength of recycled concrete is acknowledged to be largely conditioned by the incorporation ratio of Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA), although that ratio needs to be carefully assessed to optimize the ...
The Effect of the Laser Incidence Angle in the Surface of L-PBF Processed Parts
(MDPI, 2020-10-24)
The manufacture of multiple parts on the same platform is a common procedure in the Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) process. The main advantage is that the entire working volume of the machine is used and a greater number ...
CO2 cryogenic milling of Inconel 718: cutting forces and tool wear Author links open overlay panel
(Elsevier, 2020-07)
Machining Inconel 718 alloy is a challenge due to its low machinability. This thermal resis-tant alloy combines high strength even at high temperatures with strain hardening tendency that causes high forces and extreme ...
Experimental evaluation of cement mortars with recycled brass fibres from the electrical discharge machining process
(Elsevier, 2020-06-20)
This paper aims to evaluate the effect of recycled brass fibres on the physical, thermal and mechanical properties of cementitious mortars. For that purpose, seven different mortars, with the same water/cement ratio but ...
Effective Position Control for a Three-Phase Motor
(MDPI, 2020-02-01)
This document presents an efficient proportional derivative (PD) position controller for three-phase motor drives. The regulator has been designed in frequency domain, employing the direct–quadrature (<i>d</i>&ndas ...
Thermal Diffusivity Measurement of Laser‐ Deposited AISI H13 Tool Steel and Impact on Cooling Performance of Hot Stamping Tools
(MDPI, 2020-01-20)
Additive manufacturing is a technology that enables the repair and coating of high‐addedvalue
parts. In applications such as hot stamping, the thermal behavior of the material is essential
to ensure the proper operation ...
The Gender Perspective of Professional Competencies in Industrial Engineering Studies
(MDPI, 2020-04-07)
Sexism and gender relations in higher education require special attention and are a topic of great interest in regulations related to education. The low participation percentage of women in Science, Technology, Engineering, ...
The Weldability of Duplex Stainless-Steel in Structural Components to Withstand Corrosive Marine Environments
(MDPI, 2020-11-05)
There is still a considerable gap in the definition of the weldability of Duplex Stainless Steel (DSS). A lack of clarity that is explained by the standard specification of the maximum content of equivalent carbon that ...
