Finite Element Analysis of Sandwich T-Joints Subjected to Water Slamming Loads
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2018)
This article evaluates the structural
response of a sandwich ship hull with T-joint
longitudinal stiffeners subjected to water slamming.
Finite element analysis was conducted using the
commercial code LS-DYNA. The ...
The Use of Vibration to Neutralize the Parkinson Disease Hand Tremor
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2018)
Today there are some treatments
available for the Parkinson Disease. Even though
there is no standard treatment for the disease,
because it’s progressive and has no cure, there are
some technologies that help the ...
Enclosure design for an automated vacuum application
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2019)
The plastic injection industries make use
of the Deflashing Machine, which requires to recycle
the filter that collects the plastic shaving dust, down
to 0.2um. A series of automated subsystems, located
in portable ...
Optimization of a SAE aero design aircraft
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2019)
The Polytechnic University of Puerto
Rico (PUPR) has participated in SAE Aero Design
for the previous years. SAE Aero Design is an
international competition in which an airplane is
designed by the students into one ...
Improvement of Paterson Kelly V-Blender Ventilation System
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2019)
This paper presents the successful
improvement and implementation of ventilation
system modifications in a Patterson Kelly VBlender used in Upjohn (Pfizer Division)
Pharmaceutical located at Barceloneta, Puerto
Rico. ...
Assembly fit-up issue: investigation of a first stage high pressure gas turbine rotor
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2018)
A Gas Turbine engine generates
mechanical energy from a combustible fuel. This
mechanical energy could be converted into
electrical power by means of a rotating shaft as
opposed to the pressurized thrust generated on ...
Vertical Packaging Accumulator
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2018)
The beverage manufacturing process is
based on filling a product with a defined structure
or flexible structure. If that product is pasteurized,
there are different considerations that must be met,
such as the filling ...
Finite Element Modeling of Water Slamming on Sandwich Hull Structures
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2017)
This article evaluates the structural
response of ship hull sandwich panels subjected to
water slamming. Structural responses were
obtained from several finite element (FE) model
simulations developed by using the ...
Preliminary Wind Turbine Assessment Using Urban Scaling Factors in Puerto Rico
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2012)
Abstract - It is well known that wind energy applications are most effective in wide open areas. As shown in the literature, rather than completely discard the location of wind turbines in urban areas, the reduction in ...
A Modified Computer Model of a Hyperbolic Energy Analyzer to Determining Its Potential for Operating as a Mass Spectrometer
(Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2016)
Conventional energy analyzers are used as a plasma diagnostic tool for the determination of ion and electron energy spectra and temperature, having applications in a broad range of disciplines, including molecular spectroscopy, ...
