Flexural Strength Prediction Models for Soil–Cement from Unconfined Compressive Strength at Seven Days
(MDPI, 2019-01-26)
Soil⁻cement is an environmentally friendly road construction technique for base and subbase materials, which allows employing soils placed in the right-of-way of the road or in the surroundings, by improving its engineering ...
Unexpected Event Prediction in Wire Electrical Discharge Machining Using Deep Learning Techniques
(MDPI, 2018-07)
Theoretical models of manufacturing processes provide a valuable insight into physical phenomena but their application to practical industrial situations is sometimes difficult. In the context of Industry 4.0, artificial ...
Alternatives for Chemical and Biochemical Lignin Valorization: Hot Topics from a Bibliometric Analysis of the Research Published During the 2000–2016 Period
(MDPI, 2018-08)
A complete bibliometric analysis of the Scopus database was performed to identify the research trends related to lignin valorization from 2000 to 2016. The results from this analysis revealed an exponentially increasing ...
New Procedure for Compacting Prismatic Specimens of Cement-Treated Base Materials
(MDPI, 2018-07)
Understanding the long-term behaviour of cement-treated base materials is a key factor to improve its design and obtain environmentally friendly pavement base materials. Their characterization requires manufacturing prismatic ...
A Series of Vertical Deflections, a Promising Traffic Calming Measure: Analysis and Recommendations for Spacing
(MDPI, 2020-05-13)
Traffic calming measures (TCM) are placed in urban areas to improve road safety, and among them, vertical TCMs are widely employed. Many researches are focused on the influence of the geometry of each measure on speed ...
Advances in the Study of the Behavior of Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR) with Cement
(MDPI, 2019-08-01)
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 ...
Bitumen modified with recycled polyurethane foam for employment in hot mix asphalt
(Universidad Nacional de Colombia, 2018-04)
A wide variety of modifiers have been applied to bitumen in order to enhance their properties and performance. Among them, polymers have been mainly used. The aim of this paper is to assess the use of polyurethane foam ...
Semi-Active Magnetorheological Damper Device for Chatter Mitigation during Milling of Thin-Floor Components
(MDPI, 2020-07-31)
The productivity during the machining of thin-floor components is limited due to unstable vibrations, which lead to poor surface quality and part rejection at the last stage of the manufacturing process. In this article, ...
Special Issue on “Machining Dynamics and Parameters Process Optimization”
(MDPI, 2020-12-14)
In 1907, F.W Taylor—the father of production engineering—exposed the fundamentals of modern machining and defined chatter as the most obscure and delicate of all problems facing the machinist [...]
Uncharted Stable Peninsula for Multivariable Milling Tools by High-Order Homotopy Perturbation Method
(MDPI, 2020-11-06)
In this work, a new method for solving a delay differential equation (DDE) with multiple delays is presented by using second- and third-order polynomials to approximate the delayed terms using the enhanced homotopy ...
