A simple procedure for generating locally refined 2D quadrilateral finite element meshes of gears
Elsevier (2020)This article describes a new procedure for automated generation of two-dimensional locally refined quadrilateral meshes of gear drives. In this new procedure, a base mesh is generated using a multiblock meshing procedure. ... -
A simplified model for shell-and-tubes heat exchangers: Practical application
Elsevier (2010)In this paper, a simplified model for the study of shell-and-tubes heat exchangers (HXs) is proposed. The model aims to agree with the HXs when they are working as condensers or evaporators. Despite its simplicity, the ... -
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 ... -
A Study of the Flexural Behavior of Fiber-Reinforced Concretes Exposed to Moderate Temperatures
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (2021-06-24)The use of synthetic fibers in fiber-reinforced concretes (FRCs) is often avoided due to the mistrust of lower performance at changing temperatures. This work examines the effect of moderate temperatures on the flexural ... -
A survey on 3D cad model quality assurance and testing tools
Elsevier (2017-02)A new taxonomy of issues related to CAD model quality is presented, which distinguishes between explicit and procedural models. For each type of model, morphologic, syntactic, and semantic errors are characterized. The ... -
A survey on consumers’ attitude towards storing and end of life strategies of small information and communication technology devices in Spain
Elsevier (2017)This study analyses the current habits and practices towards the store, repair and second-hand purchase of small electrical and electronic devices belonging to the category of information and communication technology (ICT). ... -
A survey on geometrical reconstruction as a core technology to sketch-based modeling
Elsevier (2005-12)In this work, the background and evolution of three-dimensional reconstruction of line drawings during the last 30 years is discussed. A new general taxonomy is proposed to make apparent and discuss the historical evolution ... -
A Systematic Review of EMG Applications for the Characterization of Forearm and Hand Muscle Activity during Activities of Daily Living: Results, Challenges, and Open Issues
MDPI (2021-04-26)The role of the hand is crucial for the performance of activities of daily living, thereby ensuring a full and autonomous life. Its motion is controlled by a complex musculoskeletal system of approximately 38 muscles. ... -
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 ... -
A tensor optimization algorithm for Bézier Shape Deformation
Elsevier (2015-01)In this paper we propose a tensor based description of the Bézier Shape Deformation (BSD) algorithm, denoted as T-BSD. The BSD algorithm is a well-known technique, based on the deformation of a Bézier curve through a field ... -
A voice-based annotation system for collaborative computer-aided design
Oxford University Press (2020-12-31)In this paper, we describe a voice-based interaction mechanism to annotate 3D models directly from a computer-aided design (CAD) modeling environment. The audio signal is captured and automatically transcribed to a textual ... -
