Proximal fibular osteotomy vs high tibial osteotomy: an in-silico finite element study
(Springer, 2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyTypical treatments against Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) are performed surgically, such as knee arthroplasty or High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO). In recent years, Proximal Fibular Osteotomy (PFO) has been proposed as a solution ... -
Effects of tendon compliance on the prediction of human squatting motion
(2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyPredictive simulations of human motion have the potential to aid the design of assistive devices, foresee surgical outcomes, and analyse isolated muscular features, which would otherwise be difficult to measure experimentally1. ... -
Characterization of the fluid damping in simplified models of pump-turbines and high head Francis runners
(IOP Publishing, 2022)
Conference report
Open AccessIn order to satisfy the power demand in the electrical grid, hydraulic turbine units frequently work under off-design operation conditions and pass through transient events. These operation conditions can lead to high ... -
A Legendre-Gauss pseudospectral collocation method for trajectory optimization in second order systems
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022)
Conference report
Open AccessPseudospectral collocation methods have proven to be powerful tools to solve optimal control problems. While these methods generally assume the dynamics is given in the first order form xdot = f(x, u, t), where x is the ... -
Experimental validation of a wearable system to assess upper limb kinematics in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and Spinal muscular atrophy
(2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and the Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) are two rare neuromuscular diseases characterized by muscle weakness that lead to loss of ambulation, respiratory and cardiologic problems, and ... -
Experimental Data-Driven Insertion Force Analyses of Hypodermic Needles in a Soft Tissue with an In-House Test Bench
(2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyHypodermic needles are used in a wide range of medical procedures. In these procedures, an insertion force is applied to the needle to insert it through the soft tissue. In that way, when the tip of the needle encounters ... -
Análisis de la formación de uniones inter e intra capa en termoplásticos elastoméricos procesados por la técnica de impresión 3D de extrusión de material
(2022)
Conference report
Open Access3D printing is a layer-by-layer manufacturing process with great potential in a large number of areas, for instance in technological and biomedical fields. Specifically, the Material Extrusion (MEX) technique, also known ... -
Acoustic emission at the wheel-rail contact with micro-slip and stick-slip
(2022)
Conference report
Open AccessThe paper aimsto analyse the occurrence of acoustic emission at the wheel-rail contact during microslip. The experimental model allows the different loads and the low sliding speeds specific to the wheel-rail contact. It ... -
VIBWAY: A user-friendly computational tool for the prediction of railway-induced ground-borne noise and vibration
(2022)
Conference report
Open AccessThis paper aims to introduce preliminary statement of methods of a computationally efficient and user-friendly toolbox, called VIBWAY, able to predict vibration and re-radiated noise levels in two situations. On the one ... -
Dynamic response analysis of a reduced scale Kaplan turbine model operating in propeller mode
(IOP Publishing, 2022)
Conference report
Open AccessIn the frame of the AFC4Hydro H2020 research project, an extensive measurement campaign has been carried out on a reduced scale Kaplan turbine model at the Vattenfall Research and Development facility in Älvkarleby, Sweden. ... -
PZT actuators as on-board instruments to reduce vibrations and strains in submerged structures
(IOP Publishing, 2022)
Conference report
Open AccessThis paper presents the design and evaluation of an active control system to reduce vibrations and strains of submerged structures. For that, a metallic disk mounted in a test rig has been equipped with on-board waterproof ... -
Collocation methods for second order systems
(2022)
Conference report
Open AccessCollocation methods for numerical optimal control commonly assume that the system dynamics is expressed as a first order ODE of the form x¿ = f(x, u, t), where x is the state and u the control vector. However, in many ...
