Evaluation of the role of surface pretreatments on thecorrosion process. Correlation between conventional andelectrochemical tests
(Wiley, 2017)
The influence on the anticorrosion properties of three different pretreatmentsapplied on steel panels, before being powder-paint coated, is investigated both byconventional tests (cross cut, impact resistance, and neutral ...
Stable receding-horizon scenario predictive control for Markov-jump linear systems
(Elsevier, 2017-12)
This paper discusses predictive control for constrained discrete-time Markov-jump linear systems (MJLS) which jump between a finite set of modes according to a Markov probabilistic transition/observation model, minimising ...
Evaluation of the engineering performance of different bio-based aliphatic homopolyamide tubes prepared by profile extrusion
(Elsevier, 2017)
In the present study, three different commercial bio-based polyamides (bio-PAs), namely polyamide 610
(PA610), polyamide 1010 (PA1010), and polyamide 1012 (PA1012), were processed by profile extrusion
with an annular ...
A new methodology for facilitating the design of safety-related parts of control systems in machines according to ISO 13849:2006 standard
(Elsevier, 2018)
Safety is a fundamental requirement of production systems considered throughout all the stages of a machine’s lifecycle. Due to its importance to avoid accidents and injuries, safety specifications have been explicitly ...
A comparative study of three-dimensional printing directions: The degradation and toxicological profile of a PLA/PHA blend
(Elsevier, 2018)
The use of biobased plastics is of great importance for many applications. Blending thermoplastic polylactide
(PLA) with polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) enables the formulation of a more mechanically
powerful material and ...
Stabilization and characterization of a nanofluid based on a eutectic mixture of diphenyl and diphenyl oxide and carbon nanoparticles under high temperature conditions
(Elsevier, 2017-06)
(C12H10O), and it is used as an HTF with a maximum working temperature of 400 °C. However, one of the drawbacks of Therminol VP1 is its low thermal conductivity. In recent years it has been demonstrated that the addition ...
Three-dimensional printing of PLA and PLA/PHA dumbbell-shaped specimens of crisscross and transverse patterns as promising materials in emerging application areas: Prediction study
(Elsevier, 2018)
This paper presentsex-anteexamination of advanced polymer materials to detect defects and define andminimize the potential failure of novel polymer products before they arise. The effect of build directionson the properties ...
Synthesis of hybrid sol-gel materials and their biological evaluation with human mesenchymal stem cells
(Springer, 2013-03)
Surface engineering of biomaterials could promote the osseointegration of implants. In this work, two types of hybrid sol–gel materials were developed to stimulate cell attachment, proliferation and differentiation of ...
Fostering in-process inspection during process planning using tolerance charting
(Elsevier, 2013)
Integrated development of machining and inspection plans is essential in dynamic manufacturing environments, especially when right first time manufacturing is required. In this work, a methodology, based on a new and ...
Fracture behaviour of poly[ethylene–(vinyl alcohol)]/organo-clay composites
(WileySociety of Chemical Industry, 2009)
BACKGROUND: Ethylene–(vinyl alcohol) (EVOH) copolymer/organo‐modified montmorillonite (OMMT) composites were investigated. Composites with two different percentages by weight of OMMT were prepared using a melt‐extrusion ...
