Influential factors affecting inherent deformation during plate forming by line hating (Report 1) - the effect of plate size and edge effect
(2007-09)The authors aim to propose an accurate and practical method to predict the deformation of actual plates of large size such as those used in shipbuilding. This method is to be used to improve the accuracy of an automatic ... -
Inspection of Biomimicry Approaches as an Alternative to Address Climate-Related Energy Building Challenges: A Framework for Application in Panama
(2020-06-01)In the Panama context, energy consumption in the building sector is mostly related to the conditioning of indoor spaces for cooling and lighting. Different nature strategies can be mimic to strongly impact these two aspects ... -
Introduction to the Application of Phase Change Materials under Tropical Climate of Panama
(2019 7th International Engineering, Sciences and Technology Conference (IESTEC)2019 7th International Engineering, Sciences and Technology Conference (IESTEC), 2016-10-09)Phase change materials (PCM) are materials with the ability to store a large amount of energy (latent heat) during their change from solid to a liquid phase. This takes place at a certain melting temperature. Amid the ... -

Morphological Characterization of Brazilian Organ Clays Using AFM and SEM Studies
(2013-05)A combination of SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) and AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy) techniques was used to characterise the morphology of Brazilian montmorillonites before and after intercalation of some organic compounds. ... -
Nitrous Oxide Fluxes from a Commercial Beef Cattle Feedlot in Kansas
(2014-03-10)Emission of greenhouse gases, including nitrous oxide (N2O), from open beef cattle feedlots is becoming an environmental concern; however, research measuring emission rates of N2O from open beef cattle feedlots has been ... -
Numerical analysis of the straightening process of thin plate structures by elastic FEM based on the inherent strain method
(2012-12)Welding distortion is practically an expected feature in shipbuilding, with a few exceptions; when thick plates are used, for example. Nowadays, the trend is to use thinner plates in order to reduce weight, aiming to reduce ... -
Numerical study of inherent deformation produced in thick plates through bending by line heating
(2006-06)In ship building, line-heating is widely employed as an effective method to form steel plate with complex 3-dimensional carved geometries. However the plate bending by line heating is strongly dependent on skills. To ... -
A numerical study of parameters governing an inherent deformation database of plates formed by line heating
(2008-08)As an overall strategy to improve the accuracy of the forming process, the authors pay attention to those factors which may influence the inherent deformation of plates formed by line heating. In order to identify those ... -
OTEC Alternative for the Electric Power Generation in Panama
(2019 7th International Engineering, Sciences and Technology Conference (IESTEC)2019 7th International Engineering, Sciences and Technology Conference (IESTEC), 2019-12-30)This document presents a qualitative analysis of surface temperatures of the oceanic territory of Panama. These temperatures represent an indication of the potential of the thermal resource in the oceanic territory of ... -
Project-based learning and use of the CDIO Syllabus for geology course assessment
(2014-07-06)This study provides an overview of the development of hard and soft skills from project-based curriculum planning, and suggests ways to evaluate them in the context of engineering education and their importance in the ... -
