En el projecte s'han implementat uns mòduls formatius, que inclouen tant una vessant teòrica com una part experimental, que permetin a un estudiant de segon cicle de la ETSETB conèixer i desenvolupar aplicacions sobre un sistema de comunicacions sense fils de baix cost i àmplia…
An interconnection-and-damping assignment passivity-based control (IDA-PBC) for a full-bridge rectifier is presented in this paper. The closed-loop system performance fulfils unity power factor in the ac mains and output dc voltage regulation. The controller design takes…
A new elasto-plastic state variable friction model is proposed which models both stiction and presliding displacement. However, the proposed Leuven model by Swevers et al. is more complex than the standard parameterization of the LuGre model due to the use of an hybrid…
La aparición en el mercado de nuevas fibras requiere, para el completo aprovechamiento de sus posibilidades comerciales, el estudio de las características que realmente presenta en cuanto a microestructura. Como que el efecto comercial principal de las fibras textiles es su…

Future ‘on-demand’ computing systems, often depicted as potentially large scale and complex Service-Oriented Architectures, will need innovative management approaches for controlling and matching services demand and supply. Centralized optimization approaches reach their bounds…
A greater part of both international and national literature on internationalization SMEs and final theoretical models are derived from foreign activities of big companies. Scientists’ attention has been drawn to the problematic of integrating SMEs into international…
In this paper we present a model for the realistic simulation of the mechanical behavior of cloth based on the Finite Elements Method. The use of this method in a material with the elastic properties of cloth has some problems of convergence to which we propose a solution in…
En términos generales, para la adhesión bacteriana, influyen cuatro elementos: Material, Microorganismos, anti- microbianos y mecanismos de defensa. La influencia del material es más importante en los estadios iniciales de la adhesión, pudiendo influir el mismo material, su…
