A Novel Method for Determining Angular Speed and Acceleration Using Sin-Cos Encoders.
(MDPI, 2021)The performance of vehicle safety systems depends very much on the accuracy of the signals coming from vehicle sensors. Among them, the wheel speed is of vital importance. This paper describes a new method to obtain the ... -
A procedure for validating rigid catenary models using evolutionary techniques
(Elsevier, 2020)This paper describes a method to validate rigid catenary finite element models from modal tests. The model parameters are obtained by means of an optimization process using evolutionary techniques. The validation of rigid ... -
A study of tensile and bending properties of 3D-printed biocompatible materials used in dental appliances
(Springer, 2022-01-03)In the last years, a large number of new biocompatible materials for 3D printers have emerged. Due to their recent appearance and rapid growth, there is little information about their mechanical properties. The design and ... -
Achieving the cost-effective energy transformation of Europe’s buildings
(2019-11-05)This report aims to answer the following question: Which are the most cost-effective ways to decarbonise the existing EU building sector through energy renovations? Replying this, we provide a method and a dataset to ... -
