Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya
El Departament d’Enginyeria Mecànica participa activament en transferència de tecnologia dins els convenis de col·laboració amb empreses públiques i privades, com ara el disseny de màquines i assessorament per a la seva construcció; alguns han donat lloc a patents.

(English) This thesis arose from the need to design new tools that enable a better control of indoor air quality in vehicles. Even though indoor air quality has been widely explored in buildings, this topic has often been ...
(English) In this thesis, the mechanical behavior of parts manufactured by Material Extrusion Modeling (MEX) has been evaluated, using a copolimer of polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), commercially known ...
(English) This thesis delves into investigating the complexities of heat transfer in supercritical fluids through the application of advanced theoretical and computational methodologies. The research primarily focuses on ...
(English) The current methods used in microbiological quality analysis rely on the use of traditional and manual methods, such as the pour plate method. The need to perform more analyses of different matrices makes it ...
(English) Additive Manufacturing is the process of joining materials to make objects from a 3D model data, normally layer-upon-layer through series of some cross-sectional slices, as opposed to subtractive manufacturing ...
(English) In recent years, the use of prostheses has widely increased due to their ability to replace defective parts of the skeleton. Among artificial implants, hip joint plays a critical role in the human body since it ...
(English) We are currently immersed in the fourth industrial revolution that involves, among others, technology to prevent climate change, transformation of the transport sector, digitization and artificial intelligence. ...
(English) The introduction of the intermittent and unpredictable solar and wind power into the electrical grid is pushing hydraulic turbines to work for longer periods of time in off-design conditions. Under these ...
(English) The primary goal of this thesis is to unlock the potential of hemp stalk, an agricultural byproduct that currently lacks practical applications. The overarching aim is to promote the use of eco-friendly materials, ...
(English) In this study, the Weierstrass fractal function was used to model the surface roughness of railway tracks and, subsequently, the static coefficient of friction (COF) for Hertzian rail-wheel contact and cylinder-plane ...
(English) The control strategies implemented in exoskeletons play a crucial role in determining the interaction between the device and user. However, it is unclear what is the most suitable control strategy and settings ...
(English) The most common tremor disorders worldwide are Parkinson's Disease and Essential Tremor. The gold standard for diagnosing these movement disorders is medical evaluation by neurologists, but its accuracy depends ...
(English) This thesis is an experimental investigation into the beneficial effects of the ultrasonic vibration-assisted ball burnishing process on the wear resistance and fatigue life-cycle enhancement of rotational symmetric ...
(English) People with spinal cord injury (SCI) may suffer lifelong sequels that influence every aspect of their lives, including motor and/or sensory impairment, difficulty breathing and/or swallowing, bladder/bowel weakness, ...
(English) The Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) is a measurement tool to assess post-stroke upper extremities motor function. However, ARAT scoring can be subjective and limited only to determining performance quality. ...
(English) The PhD focuses on the study of the flow around an airfoil at different Angles of Attack (AoA) with and without the implementation of Active Flow Control (AFC), while maintaining the Reynolds number constant at ...
(English This dissertation is an experimental assessment of the tool-part tribological interaction of continuous deformation processes: ball burnishing as a superfinishing process and wire drawing as a bulk deformation ...
(English) Pumps of positive volumetric displacement (PDVP) drive a volume of fluid from suction to discharge for each revolution of its shaft, called derived capacity, and therefore, in an ideal constant capacity pump the ...
(English) The mechanical characterization of new materials used in the Material Extrusion technique (MEX) in 3D printing is essential. The use of this technique is growing and with it the possible applications of printed ...
(English) Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) is a strengthening method that has been increasing its importance versus Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) due the lower cost and lower toxicity of its materials. The ...
