Cartographic characterization of the littoral camps of dunes

This work ls based on a atudy about tbe Dunes Camp of Maspalomas (fígure 1), in Gran Canaria Island (Spaln). Their sedimentary processes are detached and represented separately in order to delimit the diferent sedimentary and eolian sub-unit to get an "spectral" analysls. The developed analytic serie permit us to construct a sequence of thematic maps Later, the cartographlc puzzle is integrated, once the pbyslcal varieties of tbe sedimentary dynamycs that intervene in lbe terrltory 1s well konwn and clearly understood. Tbe cartography of integration or the general vision about the processes of both transport and sedimentary deposits contains yet enough information, inside a physical perspective ( based on the dune biotope ), to decide in relatlon to the arrangement, planning and management of the territory.

New lightweight optimization method applied in parts made by selective laser sintering and polyjet technologies

[EN]The continuous evolution of materials and technologies of Additive Manufacturing (AM) has led to a competitive production process even for functional parts. The capabilities of these technologies for manufacturing complex geometries allow the definition of new designs that cannot be obtained with any other manufacturing processes. An application where this capability can be exploited is the lightening of parts using internal structures. This allows to obtain more efficient parts and, at the same time, reduce the costs of material and manufacturing time. A new lightweight optimization method to optimize the design of these structures and minimize weight while keeping the minimal mechanical properties is presented in this paper.
