Corrosion Fatigue Numerical Model for Austenitic and Lean-Duplex Stainless-Steel Rebars Exposed to Marine Environments
(MDPI, 2020-09-10)
Steel rebars of structures exposed to cyclic loadings and marine environments suffer an accelerated deterioration process by corrosion fatigue, causing catastrophic failure before service life ends. Hence, stainless steel ...
Analysis of Photodiode Monitoring in Laser Cutting
(MDPI, 2020-09-19)
The paper presents the results of an analysis based on the photodiode monitoring signals obtained during the laser cutting of aluminum and stainless steel plates. The mean level of the monitoring signal was measured and ...
On the Relationship between Mechanical Properties and Crystallisation of Chemically Post-Processed Additive Manufactured Polylactic Acid Pieces
(MDPI, 2020-04-18)
Nowadays, improvement of the surface finish of parts manufactured by fused deposition modelling is a well-studied topic. Chemical post-treatments have proven to be the best technique in terms of time consumption and ...
Effect of WEDM Process Parameters on Surface Morphology of Nitinol Shape Memory Alloy
(MDPI, 2020-11-03)
Nickel–titanium shape memory alloys (SMAs) have started becoming popular owing to their unique ability to memorize or regain their original shape from the plastically deformed condition by means of heating or magnetic or ...
Kinematic Analysis of a Continuum Parallel Robot
(Springer, 2017)
Continuum Parallel Robots are mechanical devices with closed loops where kinematic pairs have been eliminated and motion is obtained by large deformations of certain elements. Most compliant mechanisms use notches in thick ...
Kinematic Analysis of a Flexible Tensegrity Robot
(Springer, 2017)
In the field of parallel kinematics few designs use highly deformable elements to obtain the end effector movement. Most compliant mechanisms rely on notches or shape changes to simulate a standard kinematic joint. In this ...
Development of plasma based surfaces, supported by electro-tribological studies.
(2019-03-01)
Los tratamientos de superficie basados en tecnologías de plasma ofrecen un amplio abanico de posibilidades para el desarrollo de soluciones a problemas tribológicos (fricción, desgaste, etc.). Por otra parte, la combinación ...
Performance of Optimization Algorithms in the Model Fitting of the Multi-Scale Numerical Simulation of Ductile Iron Solidification
(MDPI, 2020-08-08)
The use of optimization algorithms to adjust the numerical models with experimental values has been applied in other fields, but the efforts done in metal casting sector are much more limited. The advances in this area may ...
Using nodal coordinates as variables for the dimensional synthesis of mechanisms
(Springer, 2018-06)
The method of the lower deformation energy has been successfully used for the synthesis of mechanisms for quite a while. It has shown to be a versatile, yet powerful method for assisting in the design of mechanisms. Until ...
Optimization of Planar Mechanisms by using a Minimum Distance Function
(Elsevier, 2019-08)
The paper examines the application of a general minimum distance error function to the
dimensional kinematic synthesis of bidimensional mechanisms. The minimum distance ap-
proach makes it possible to solve the problem ...
