Implementation and testing of a CAM postprocessor for an industrial redundant workcell with evaluation of several fuzzified Redundancy Resolution Schemes
(Elsevier, 2011)
This paper describes the implementation of a postprocessor to adapt the toolpath generated by a CAM system (NXTM) to a complex workcell of eight joints (namely, a KUKA KR15/2 manipulator mounted on a linear track and ...
Optimal design of passive viscous dampers for controlling the resonant response of orthotropic plates under high-speed moving loads
(Elsevier, 2011)
In this article, the resonant response of plates traversed by moving loads is addressed being its main application the dynamic performance of railway bridges underhigh-speed traffic. An innovative alternative to reduce the ...
Flow regime transition criteria for two-phase flow in a vertical annulus
(Elsevier, 2011)
In this work, a new flow regime transition model is proposed for two-phase flows in a vertical annulus. Following previous works, the flow regimes considered are bubbly (B), slug (S) or cap-slug (CS), churn (C) and annular ...
Analysis of collection systems for sorted household waste in Spain
(Elsevier, 2012-09)
This work analyses the separate collection systems used in Spanish towns with between 5000 and 50,000 inhabitants. The study looks at the systems and their efficiency by means of the indicators fractioning rate, quality ...
Life cycle assessment of ceramic tiles: Environmental and statistical analysis
(Springer, 2011)
Purpose. The aim of this paper is to conduct a life cycle assessment study of ceramic tiles (single-fired glazed stoneware) in order to identify the stages that produce the greatest impact on the environment and the materials ...
Experimental evaluation of HCFC-22 replacement by the drop-in fluids HFC-422A and HFC-417B for low temperature refrigeration applications
(Elsevier, 2011-05)
The Regulation CE-1005/2009 has banned the use of virgin HCFC-22 in Europe from the 31st December 2009, because it contains chlorine, although its use is allowed up to the 31st December 2014 if it is recycled. Now, ...
A simplified model to assess vulnerable areas for urban regeneration
(Elsevier, 2019)
The plethora of approaches to assess urban sustainability entails the challenge of selecting the most appropriate model. Theoretical models constitute a necessary and valuable starting point, but here we highlight the ...
Study of the drying behavior of high load multiphase droplets in an acoustic levitator at high temperature conditions
(Elsevier, 2011-06-15)
Experimental data on the drying behavior of suspension droplets is limited, despite its importance in industrial applications for material processing, chemical or the food industry involving spray dryers. This fact is ...
Usefulness of evolution lines in eco-design
(Elsevier, 2011)
The concept of evolution trends comes from the idea that all technical systems follow the same patterns of evolution, thus making it possible to anticipate the technological jumps enabling an inventive problem to be solved. ...
Flow regime development analysis in adiabatic upward two-phase flow in a vertical annulus
(Elsevier, 2011)
In this work radial and axial flow regime development in adiabatic upward air–water two-phase flow in a vertical annulus has been investigated. Local flow regimes have been identified using conductivity probes and neural ...
