Validating a Wave-to-Wire Model for a Wave Energy Converter—Part II: The Electrical System
(MDPI, 2017-07)
The incorporation of the full dynamics of the different conversion stages of wave energy converters (WECs), from ocean waves to the electricity grid, is essential for a realistic evaluation of the power flow in the drive ...
Aspects and Some Results on Passivity and Positivity of Dynamic Systems
(IOP Publishing, 2017)
This paper is devoted to discuss certain aspects of passivity results in dynamic systems and the characterization of the regenerative systems counterparts. In particular, the various concepts of passivity as standard ...
Flexible aromatic disulfide monomers for high-performance self-healable linear and cross-linked poly(urethane-urea) coatings
(Elsevier, 2019)
Implementation of the self-healing concept in coatings is challenging because they have to combine mechanical strength and chain mobility. This challenge is addressed in this work by studying the effect of the polymer ...
Application of Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks to Achieve Intelligent Microgrids: A Promising Approach towards a Global Smart Grid Deployment
(MDPI, 2016-02)
Smart Grids (SGs) constitute the evolution of the traditional electrical grid towards a new paradigm, which should increase the reliability, the security and, at the same time, reduce the costs of energy generation, ...
Wear And Friction Evaluation Of Different Tool Steels For Hot Stamping
(Hindawi, 2018-03-26)
The aim of this work is to investigate the durability of tool steels for hot stamping by comparing the wear resistance of three hot work tool steels. Friction and wear behaviours of different tool steels sliding against a ...
Using Genetic Algorithms With Multi-Objective Optimization To Adjust Finite Element Models Of Welded Joints
(MDPI, 2018-04-02)
To ensure realistic results when modeling welded joints using the finite element method (FEM), it is essential to appropriately characterize the thermo-mechanical behavior of the elastic-plastic Finite Element (FE) models. ...
The present state of Archaeology: interview with Martin Carver
(Arkeogazte: Asociación de Jóvenes Investigadores en Arqueología Prehistórica e Histórica, 2011)
On Some Relations between Accretive, Positive, and Pseudocontractive Operators and Passivity Results in Hilbert Spaces and Nonlinear Dynamic Systems
(Hindawi, 2017)
This paper investigates some parallel relations between the operators (I-G) and G in Hilbert spaces in such a way that the pseudocontractivity, asymptotic pseudocontractivity, and asymptotic pseudocontractivity in the ...
An analytic superfield formalism for tree superamplitudes in D=10 and D=11
(Springer, 2018-05-16)
Tree amplitudes of 10D supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (SYM) and 11D supergravity (SUGRA) are collected in multi-particle counterparts of analytic on-shell superfields. These have essentially the same form as their chiral ...
Pre-Inflation From The Multiverse: Can It Solve The Quadrupole Problem In The Cosmic Microwave Background?
(Springer, 2018-03-21)
We analyze a quantized toy model of a universe undergoing eternal inflation using a quantum-field-theoretical formulation of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. This so-called third quantization method leads to the picture that ...
