  • Arnold diffusion in a model of dissipative system 

    Akingbade, Samuel W.; Gidea, Marian; Martínez-Seara Alonso, M. Teresa (2023-09-30)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    For a mechanical system consisting of a rotator and a pendulum coupled via a small, time-periodic Hamiltonian perturbation, the Arnold diffusion problem asserts the existence of “diffusing orbits” along which the energy ...
  • A Finite-time control design for the discrete-time chaotic logistic equations 

    Acho Zuppa, Leonardo; Buenestado Caballero, Pablo; Pujol Vázquez, Gisela (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-08)
    Article
    Open Access
    Finite-time control theory has been widely used as a mathematical tool to design robust controllers. By manipulating the finite-time convergence proof of this theory, we developed a new control design appropriately tuned ...
  • Real-time detection and correction of abnormal errors in GNSS observations on smartphones 

    Mu, Hongbo; Yu, Xianwen; Aragón Ángel, María Ángeles; Wang, Jiafu; Wu, Yanze (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-08-23)
    Article
    Open Access
    Smartphones, due to the integration of low-cost GNSS chips and linearly polarized antennas, frequently experience abnormal errors in their observations, particularly during positioning on water surfaces. In response to ...
  • A second gradient theory of thermoviscoelasticity 

    Iesan, Dorin; Magaña Nieto, Antonio; Quintanilla de Latorre, Ramón (2024-09)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    This paper is concerned with a rate-type theory of thermoviscoelasticity in which the second gradient of the displacement and the second temperature gradient are added to the classical set of independent constitutive ...
  • Wind turbine gearbox condition monitoring through the sequential analysis of industrial SCADA and vibration data 

    Castellani, Francesco; Natili, Francesco; Astolfi, Davide; Vidal Seguí, Yolanda (Elsevier, 2024-12-02)
    Article
    Open Access
    The operation & maintenance expenditure for a wind farm project can reach the impressive share of 30% of the total costs. This matter of fact motivates the need for optimal operation & maintenance, which is estimated to ...
  • Incremental minimum distortion embedding for online structural damage classification 

    Leon Medina, Jersson Xavier; Parés Mariné, Núria; Pozo Montero, Francesc (2024-07)
    Article
    Open Access
    The damage detection problem in structures diminishes the maintenance cost and extends the life of the structures. Online structural damage classification is a relevant topic in structural health monitoring since monitoring ...
  • Detection of crack bar deterioration at offshore wind turbine supports using generative adversarial networks and autoencoders 

    Prieto-Galarza, Ricardo; Tutivén Gálvez, Christian; Vidal Seguí, Yolanda (Institute of Physics (IOP), 2024-06-01)
    Article
    Open Access
    This work focuses on the structural health monitoring of jacket-type foundations used by offshore wind turbines. A vibration-only response mechanism based on accelerometer data is specifically suggested. This work, based ...
  • A review of prognostics and health management in wind turbine components 

    Cuesta Arrillaga, Jokin; Leturiondo, Urko; Vidal Seguí, Yolanda; Pozo Montero, Francesc (2024-06-27)
    Article
    Open Access
    Wind turbines (WTs) play an essential role in renewable energy generation, and ensuring their reliable operation is essential for sustainable energy production and reduction of levelized cost of energy. In this context, ...
  • Relations between Newtonian and relativistic cosmology 

    Haro Cases, Jaume (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-06)
    Article
    Open Access
    We start with the cosmic Friedmann equations, where we adopt a novel perspective rooted in a Lagrangian formulation, grounded in Newtonian mechanics and the first law of thermodynamics. Our investigation operates under the ...
  • Asymptotic spatial behaviour in linearised thermoelasticity for non-compact regions 

    Knops, Robin J.; Quintanilla de Latorre, Ramón (Elsevier, 2024-11)
    Article
    Open Access
    A quasi-static approximation is studied of linearised nonhomogeneous anisotropic compressible thermoelasticity on a non-compact region. Differential inequalities are constructed which under appropriate conditions lead to ...
  • A deep learning approach for automatic recognition of abnormalities in the cytoplasm of neutrophils 

    Barrera Llanga, Kevin Iván; Rodellar Benedé, José; Alférez Baquero, Edwin Santiago; Merino González, Anna (Elsevier, 2024-06)
    Article
    Open Access
    Background and objectives: This study aims to develop and evaluate NeuNN, a system based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) and generative adversarial networks (GAN) for the automatic identification of normal neutrophils ...
  • Sensitivity analysis and calibration for a two-dimensional state-space model of metal hydride storage tanks based on experimental data 

    Chen, Mingrui; Batlle Arnau, Carles; Escachx Estévez, Bryan; Costa Castelló, Ramon; Na, Jing (Elsevier, 2024-06-12)
    Article
    Open Access
    In this paper, a state-space model of a metal hydride tank is formulated and analyzed in detail. Firstly, a three-dimensional state-space model of the metal hydride tank is simplified by assuming that the tank temperature ...
