A coevolutionary algorithm for tyre model parameters identification.
(Springer Nature, 2010)The problem of tyre model coefficients identification using minimum test data is studied in this work. To obtain these tyre model parameters, an intense research effort by the automotive community has been made and there ... -
An evolutionary algorithm for path synthesis of mechanisms.
(Elsevier, 2011-02)An algorithm for synthesis of mechanisms is described in this work. The algorithm is called MUMSA (Malaga University Mechanism Synthesis Algorithm). This algorithm is an improvement of the one that was published in 2002. ... -
Dynamics of the wing-tip vortex in the near field of a NACA 0012 aerofoil
(Cambridge University Press, 2011-04)The dynamics of the wing tip vortex in the near-field of a NACA 0012 aerofoil has been analysed by means of flow visualisations in a water tunnel. Different axial distances near the wing up to four chords, Reynolds numbers ... -

Dimensional synthesis of mechanisms using Differential Evolution with auto-adaptive control parameters.
(Elsevier, 2013-06)This paper presents how an algorithm based on Differential Evolution (DE) with no constant control parameters solves the dimensional synthesis of four and six-bar mechanisms for path generation. The selection of values ... -
Coupling centrifuge drainage with microwave drying operation: description of cake desaturation before drying
(American Filtration & Separation Society, 2013-07-01)Centrifuge drainage is an operation which found main applications in pharmaceutical, chemical and textile industry. It is an efficient and economic process, and is frequently used before a thermal drying to eliminate most ... -
The Boussinesq approximation in rapidly rotating flows
(Cambridge University Press, 2013-11-15)In commonly used formulations of the Boussinesq approximation centrifugal buoyancy effects related to differential rotation, as well as strong vortices in the flow, are neglected. However, these may play an important role ... -
Evolutionary optimization of a motorcycle traction control system based on fuzzy logic.
(IEEE, 2014-11-13)Braking and traction control systems are fundamental vehicle safety equipments. The first ones prevent the wheels from locking, maintaining, when possible, the handling of the vehicle under emergency braking. While the ... -
Vortex flow structures and interactions for the optimum thrust efficiency of a heaving airfoil at different mean angles of attack
(AIP Publishing, 2015)The thrust efficiency of a two-dimensional heaving airfoil is studied computationally for a low Reynolds number using a vortex force decomposition. The auxiliary potentials that separate the total vortex force into lift ... -
On the development of lift and drag in a rotating and translating cylinder
(Elsevier, 2015)The two-dimensional flow around a rotating cylinder is investigated nu- merically using a vorticity forces formulation with the aim of analyzing quan- titatively the flow structures, and their evolutions, that contribute ... -
Turning Functions in Optimal Synthesis of Mechanisms
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2015-06)In this paper turning functions utilization for comparing errors between the coupler point and target trajectory is described. The reason why these functions are used is that the error obtained with them does not depend ... -
