• An Experimental Study on Static and Dynamic Strain Sensitivity of Embeddable Smart Concrete Sensors Doped with Carbon Nanotubes for SHM of Large Structures 

  Meoni, Andrea; D’Alessandro, Antonella; Downey, Austin; García Macías, Enrique; Rallini, Marco; Materazzi, A. Luigi; Torre, Luigi; Laflamme, Simon; Castro Triguero, Rafael; Ubertini, Filippo (MDPI, 2018)

  The availability of new self-sensing cement-based strain sensors allows the development of dense sensor networks for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of reinforced concrete structures. These sensors are fabricated by ...

• Selection of Parameters and Strategies to Reduce Energy Consumption and Improve Surface Quality in EN-AW 7075 Molds Machining 

  Rodríguez-Alabanda, O.; Bonilla, María Trinidad; Guerrero-Vaca, G.; Romero, Pablo E. (MDPI, 2018)

  The machining of cavities for blow molding is a long and costly process, with the objective of obtaining an excellent surface finish with the minimal possible electrical energy consumption (EEC). This work has studied ...

• Interactive Tool for Frequency Domain Tuning of PID Controllers 

  Garrido Jurado, Juan; Ruz Ruiz, Mario L.; Morilla, Fernando; Vázquez, Francisco (MDPI, 2018)

  This paper presents an interactive tool focused on the study of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers. Nowadays, PID control loops are extensively used in industrial applications. However, it is reported ...

• Recent Advances on SHM of Reinforced Concrete and Masonry Structures Enabled by Self-Sensing Structural Materials 

  Ubertini, Filippo; D’Alessandro, Antonella; Downey, Austin; García Macías, Enrique; Laflamme, Simon; Castro Triguero, Rafael (MDPI, 2018)

  Structural Health Monitoring is aimed at transforming civil structures into self-diagnosing systems able to automatically reveal the occurrence of a fault or a damage after a critical event such as an earthquake. While ...

• Non-Stick Coatings in Aluminium Molds for the Production of Polyurethane Foam 

  Sánchez-Urbano, Francisco; Paz-Gómez, Guillermo; Rodríguez-Alabanda, O.; Romero, Pablo E.; Cabrerizo-Vílchez, Miguel; Rodríguez-Valverde, Miguel Ángel; Guerrero-Vaca, G. (MDPI, 2018)

  The manufacturing of polyurethane foam is a process of great industrial importance in the automotive and furniture sector. The operation of demolding is the most delicate, since the foam sticks firmly to the walls of the ...
