    Early Cretaceous carbonates are the most common host rocks for Irish-type deposits in Iran. They are largely concentrated in the Malayer-Esfahan metallogenic belt (MEMB) in southwestern Iran, and Yazd-Anarak metallogenic ...
  • Application of artificial intelligence techniques for predicting the flyrock, Sungun mine, Iran 

    Shakeri, Jamshid; Bascompta Massanes, Marc; Alimoradijazi, Mohammadreza; Dehghani, Hesam (Springer, 2023-07-24)
    Article
    Open Access
    Flyrock is known as one of the main problems in open pit mining operations. This phenomenon can threaten the safety of mine personnel, equipment and buildings around the mine area. One way to reduce the risk of accidents ...
  • Arduino-based low-cost device for the measurement of detonation times in blasting caps 

    Camara Zapata, Eduardo; Arumi Casanovas, Arnau; Bonet Dalmau, Jordi; Bascompta Massanes, Marc; Sanmiquel Pera, Lluís (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-07-19)
    Article
    Open Access
    The use of equipment such as oscilloscopes, high-speed cameras or acoustic sensors is quite common to measure detonation times from surface connectors and detonators. However, these solutions are expensive and, sometimes, ...
  • Fracture toughness to assess the effect of trimming on the fatigue behaviour of high-strength steels for chassis parts 

    Parareda Oriol, Sergi; Frómeta Gutiérrez, David; Casellas Padró, Daniel; Mateo García, Antonio Manuel (2023)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    High-strength steels are widely used in vehicle body-in-white, offering a good balance between crashworthiness and lightweight design. The increased requirements of heavier electric vehicles, in terms of fatigue resistance ...
  • Understanding the fatigue notch sensitivity of high-strength steels through fracture toughness 

    Parareda Oriol, Sergi; Frómeta Gutiérrez, David; Casellas Padró, Daniel; Mateo García, Antonio Manuel (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-06-14)
    Article
    Open Access
    This study presents an innovative approach for selecting high-strength materials for fatigue dimensioning parts, considering both fracture toughness and fatigue performance. Warm and hot forming processes enable the ...
  • A damage-based uniaxial fatigue life prediction method for metallic materials 

    Parareda Oriol, Sergi; Casellas Padró, Daniel; Mares, Marc; Mateo García, Antonio Manuel (Elsevier, 2023-06-06)
    Article
    Open Access
    Determining the fatigue behaviour of metallic materials using standardised testing methods is costly and time-consuming. Therefore, several methods have been proposed to shorten the testing time and improve the fatigue ...
  • Quantification of van der Waals forces in bimodal and trimodal AFM 

    Santos, Sergio; Gadelrab, Karim Raafat; Elsherbiny, Lamiaa; Drexler, Xavier; Olukan, Tuza; Font Teixidó, Josep; Barcons Xixons, Víctor; Chiesa, Matteo (2023-05-28)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    The multifrequency formalism is generalized and exploited to quantify attractive forces, i.e., van der Waals interactions, with small amplitudes or gentle forces in bimodal and trimodal atomic force microscopy (AFM). The ...
  • Cooling rate modeling and evaluation during centrifugal atomization process 

    Cegarra Salges, Sasha Alejandra; Pijuan Casas, Jordi; Riera Colom, María Dolores (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-06-07)
    Article
    Open Access
    Centrifugal atomization is a rapid solidification technique involving fast cooling rates to produce high-quality powders. The final microstructure of the atomized particles is closely linked with the thermal history and ...
  • Mechanism analysis of airbag explosion suppression and energy absorption in a flexible explosion suppression system 

    Wang, Yajun; Ma, Huihuan; Han, Li; Xu, Xiuyan; Skrzypkowski, Krzysztof; Bascompta Massanes, Marc (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-06-03)
    Article
    Open Access
    The unfixed flame propagation velocity of a gas explosion and the fixed response time of explosion suppression devices are the important reasons for the poor protective effect of active explosion suppression. A flexible ...
  • Feasible H2S sensing in water with a printed amperometric microsensor 

    Paré Estalella, Franc; Castro Carrasco, Rebeca Ignacia; Gabriel Buguña, David; Guimerà Villalba, Xavier; Gabriel Buguña, Gemma; Baeza, Mireia (2023-04-04)
    Article
