Overhang constraint for topology optimization of self-supported compliant mechanisms considering additive manufacturing
(Elsevier, 2019-04)
This work presents a computational procedure for direct integration of Topology Optimization and Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies for compliant mechanisms design. Many topologically optimized geometries present ...
The prediction of bending strengths in SFRSCC using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
(Elsevier, 2014)
This research establishes a correlation between the predicted fiber orientation in Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) and the flexural behavior of the composite material. It is well known that the proper alignment of ...
The dual integrated force method applied to unidirectional composites
(John Wiley & Sons, 2014-04-07)
This paper shows the use of the dual integrated force method (IFMD) in finite elements method and its application to composite materials. This method was developed by S.N. Patnaik in isotropic materials, considering not ...
Textile-reinforced mortar as strengthening material for masonry arches
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-09-03)
[EN] Masonry arches are an important part of built heritage that must be preserved. Research and advanced studies of historical masonry structures have progressed slowly in comparison to studies on structures made of other ...
On The Influence of Rotary Dresser Geometry on Wear Evolution and Grinding Process
(MDPI, 2019-11-22)
Dressing is a critical issue for optimizing the grinding process. Dresser tool and dresser
parameters must be designed according to the grinding wheel material, shape, or even the dimensional and geometrical tolerances ...
The use of steelmaking slags and fly ash in structural mortars
(Elsevier, 2016-03)
The main objective of this work is to produce structural slag mortars of good mechanical strength and workability, while reducing the consumption of Portland clinker, the production of which is a growing source of environmental ...
Self-compacting concrete incorporating electric arc-furnace steelmaking slag as aggregate
(Elsevier, 2016-11-17)
Electric arc-furnace slag (EAFS) is an industrial by-product that can be employed in hydraulic mixes used in the field of construction and civil engineering. The design and preparation of self-compacting mixes with this ...
Microtab design and implementation on a 5MW wind turbine
(MDPI, 2017-05-24)
Microtabs (MT) consist of a small tab placed on the airfoil surface close to the trailing edge and perpendicular to the surface. A study to find the optimal position to improve airfoil aerodynamic performance is presented. ...
Gurney Flap Implementation on a DU91W250 Airfoil
(MDPI, 2018-11-06)
Abstract
The increasing capability of Wind Turbine (WT) based power generation systems has derived in an increment of the WT rotor diameter, i.e., longer rotor blades. This results in an increase of the electrical power ...
Sustainable Alternative of Structural Concrete Retaining Tanks
(Emerald Publishing, 2018-05)
The environmental footprint of the construction industry requires the quantification of new developments to appraise their sustainable contribution. Recent developments in relation to the merging of steel fibre reinforced ...
