Methodological proposals for improved assessments of the impact of traffic noise upon human health
(Springer-Verlag, 2010)
Several methodological shortcomings still hinder the inclusion of transport noise as an established impact category within life cycle assessment (LCA). Earlier attempts to quantify the health damages caused by traffic noise ...
Experimental and CFD evaluation of ozone efficacy against coronavirus and enteric virus contamination on public transport surfaces
(Elsevier, 2021-08-17)
The limited information about the routes of the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 within the ongoing pandemic scenario mobilized the administration, industry and academy to develop sanitation and disinfection systems for public ...
Development of porous Ti6Al4V samples by microsphere sintering
(Elsevier, 2012-01)
Two differently sized microspheres were sintered at 1300 °C and 1400 °C from 2 to 8 h in stoneware, alumina, yttria and zirconia moulds. Selecting the appropriate material to be used as a mould remains a critical issue ...
Calibration and control of a redundant robotic workcell for milling tasks
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)
This article deals with the tuning of a complex robotic workcell of eight joints devoted to milling tasks. It consists of a KUKA™ manipulator mounted on a linear track and synchronised with a rotary table. Prior to any ...
A taxonomy of ecodesign tools for interesting environmental requirements into the product design process.
(© 2011 Elsevier, 2012-01)
Over the years a wide range of techniques have been developed to evaluate the environmental performance of products. However, they all consider the environmental aspect of a product in an isolated way, without taking into ...
Influence of Slenderness on High-Strength Rectangular Concrete-Filled Tubular Columns with Axial Load and Nonconstant Bending Moment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)
Forty-nine experimental tests were conducted on rectangular and square tubular columns filled with high-strength concrete (f'c=90 MPa) subjected to axial load and a nonconstant bending moment distribution. The test parameters ...
Numerical tooth contact analysis of gear transmissions through the discretization and adaptive refinement of the contact surfaces
(Elsevier, 2016)
The tooth contact analysis (TCA) is an important resource for the design of gear drives. This widely used analysis provides the contact pattern, contact path and the function of transmission errors that are directly related ...
Malleability Implementation in a MPI Iterative Method
(IEEE, 2021-09)
In this poster is evaluated the data redistribution stage for two malleable versions of the Conjugate Gradient. One version is based on synchronous communications, while the other one uses asynchronous communications to ...
A decision support tool for communicating the environmnetlal performance of products and ornganisations from the ceramic sector (Epub ahead of print)
(Springer Verlag, 2016-01)
This paper presents a tool designed to facilitate the communication of environmental information in the ceramic sector, both for companies and products. Specifically, the communication tool allows the environmental product ...
Activity modelling in a collaborative ceramic tile design chain: an enhanced IDEF0 approach
(Springer-Verlag, 2008)
Explicit descriptions of should-be and to-be activities and processes are key elements in implementing industrial projects aimed at improving new-product development (NPD) processes, especially when e-collaboration utilities ...
