Establishing collaboration strategies with interdisciplinary networks in research is a crucial success factor for the companies in any sector, especially in manufacturing for aeronautics. In the aeronautical supply chain, ...

Thin-wall parts are common in the aeronautical sector. However, their machining presents serious challenges such as vibrations and part deflections. To deal with these challenges, different approaches have been followed ...

Las proteínas son las macromoléculas encargadas de llevar a cabo la gran mayoría de las funciones vitales que los seres vivos requieren para su existencia. Estas macromoléculas, las cuales se asemejan a pequeños mecanismos ...

Welding flaw detection is a key step in manufacturing many components. In offshore chains, every link is manufactured from a steel bar that is bent and the ends joined by flash butt welding. Ultrasonic inspection of the ...

The present contribution on tool wear during the drilling of carbon fiber composite materials (CFRP)/Ti stacks intends to determine (i) if the adhesion of titanium to carbide is mechanical or chemical, (ii) the possible ...

In the field of mechanism design, optimum dimensional synthesis plays a significant role. Focusing on path generation synthesis, the designer has to find the most adequate mechanism capable of tracing a trajectory as ...

This article shows a method for inspection scheduling of structures made by additive manufacturing, derived from reliability function evaluations and overhaul inspection findings. The routine was an adaption of an existing ...

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 ...

In this paper, the authors present the CIRUS robot. This automatic system uses a combination of pulse-echo and pitch and catch ultrasonic strategies for the inspection of the welded area of mooring chain links in an automatic ...

In this paper, an active/passive reconfigurable 2R joint is presented. Direct and inverse kinematic problems and the force transmission are considered. The advantages of the current design show its superiority with respect ...
