Positional influence of center of masticatory forces on occlusal contact forces using a digital occlusal analyzer
(Elsevier, 2023-06)
Statement of problem. Digital occlusal analyzers allow the recording of dental contact forces.
Some authors assume a unique location for the center of contact forces at the position of
maximum intercuspation, while others ...
Computational Modelling of Rectangular Sub-Boundary Layer Vortex Generators
(MDPI, 2018-01-19)
Vortex generators (VGs) are increasingly used in the wind turbine manufacture industry as flow control devices to improve rotor blade aerodynamic performance. Nevertheless, VGs may produce excess residual drag in some ...
Thermal Performance Assessment of Walls Made of Three Types of Sustainable Concrete Blocks by Means of FEM and Validated through an Extensive Measurement Campaign
(MDPI, 2021-01-04)
The thermal behavior of three different walls, made with and without by-products, is assessed by means of the Finite Element Method, aiming to evaluate its performance in terms of the sustainable construction of the blocks. ...
Calibration patterns for predicting residual strengths of steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC)
(Elsevier, 2013-11-12)
Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete (SFRC), a composite construction material, needs reliable prediction and control techniques to promote its use in structural applications. The distribution and orientation of fibres within ...
Experimental Investigations of Using Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3) and Nano-Graphene Powder in the Electrical Discharge Machining of Titanium Alloy
(MDPI, 2023-12-16)
In the present study, a comprehensive parametric analysis was carried out using the electrical discharge machining of Ti6Al4V, using pulse-on time, current, and pulse-off time as input factors with output measures of surface ...
Modeling the environmental sustainability of timber structures: a case study
(Elsevier, 2019-07-16)
A revival in timber buildings and the appreciation of their positive physical and mechanical properties can be explained by the unique environmental credentials of timber products and their versatility. Heightened public ...
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 ...
Sustainability Improvement in the Design of Lightweight Roofs: A New Prototype of Hybrid Steel and Wood Purlins
(MDPI, 2019-01-01)
A new structural typology of a hybrid purlin, made of type C cold steel and rectangular laminated wood (SWP), is presented in this paper. As a result, improvements on the most commonly used steel purlins are achieved, by ...
Effect of the Martensitic Transformation on the Stamping Force and Cycle Time of Hot Stamping Parts
(MDPI, 2018-06)
Stamping dies perform two functions in the hot stamping process of body-in-white components. Firstly, they form the steel sheet into the desired shape and, secondly, they quench the steel at a cooling rate that leads to ...
Methodology for the elaboration of the design table of GFRP structures subjected to fire
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-10-16)
The main objective of this study is to establish a fire protection design method for pultruded Glass
Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) structures exposed to fire. The method is based on the development
of tables similar ...
