Metallic cellular solids are a class of materials known for their high specific mechanical properties, being desirable in applications where combination strength or stiffness and low density important. These lightweight often stochastic manufactured by foaming casting. If regular (periodic) lattice structures desired, they may be metallic additive manufacturing techniques. However, these have characteristic issues, such as un-melted powders, porosity heterogeneous microstructures. This study...
The acceleration of industrial machines mobile parts has been increasing over the last few years, due to need higher production in a short period time. were dimensioned for lower value acceleration, which means there is not enough rigidity correct operation at much accelerations. Nowadays, accelerations can be near 12 times gravity. There improving make possible machine without undesired vibrations that ultimately lead failure. main applications this work are plotters and laser cutting...
Lightweight metallic lattices in the form of honeycombs are long known to exhibit a good mechanical strength/weight relation, given their geometry and relative density, comparison with bulk materials. Due current developments additive manufacturing techniques, production by investment casting is now easier may be competitive route when compared welding gluing sheet metal. This study explores importance design producing casting. It shown numerical simulation experimental procedures that mold...
Abstract This paper deals with the formation processes and palaeoenvironmental significance of relict slope deposits located on uppermost part north Portugal mountains. For this purpose, seven key sites representative different lithofacies have been selected analysed in detail. The data show that three main dynamic are responsible for emplacement regional fossil deposits: runoff, debris flows dry grain flows. ubiquity these lack frost‐related features or landforms do not support existence...
In this work, several types of reinforcement geometries hollow-box beams for industrial applications are compared. A novel type sandwich under bending and torsion uncoupled loadings is proposed as the best solution all those that were studied. For comparative analysis solutions, models modelled by Finite Element Method (FEM) using commercial software ANSYS Mechanical APDL. The feasibility was assessed comparing stiffness behavior with simple in terms deflection. An efficiency parameter...
Sandwich geometries, mainly panels and beams are widely used in several transportation industries, namely aerospace, aeronautic automotive. geometries known for their advantages structural applications: high specific stiffness, low weight, possibility of design optimization prior to manufacturing. This study aims know the influence number reinforcements (ribs), thickness on mechanical behavior sandwich subjected bending torsion loads separately. In this study, 3 compared: simple web-core...

El yacimiento paleolítico de As Gándaras Budiño es un clave en la Prehistoria antigua Península Ibérica. Aunque el ha sido excavado diferentes ocasiones, muchos los aspectos geológicos y arqueológicos no son bien conocidos. Entre estos problemas está cronología, que inicialmente fue atribuida al MIS 2 -originando una fuerte controversia-, aunque actualidad podemos afirmar tiene cronología del Pleistoceno Medio. Las industrias líticas tipo achelense grandes lascas (LFA), con características...
Cellular structures are a classic route to obtain high values of specific mechanical properties. This characteristic is advantageous in many fields, from diverse areas such as packaging, transportation industry, and/or medical implants. Recent studies have employed additive manufacturing and casting techniques non-stochastic cellular materials, thus, generating an situ control on the overall Both display issues, lack at microstructural level metallic alloys difficulty thin-rib materials...
Industry is undergoing through noteworthy changes, where most of the methodologies and procedures are increasingly assisted by advanced information systems. In addition, communications between entire product chain have been progressively more effective, allowing to support better decisions in early phases development. This industrial change demands companies rethink planning, design manufacturing phases, so as take advantage these developments. article addresses an empirical assessment based...
