This study presents the option of an effective low-impact energy dissipating material applied to GFRP (glass fiber reinforced plastic) composite laminates using auxectic technology in the case of planing hull vessels that use the same high-speed light materials that repeatedly impact the surface of the water when sailing, producing a slamming phenomenon. Research shows that the option to modify the laminate with an auxectic layer protects the laminate from damage. This work proposes the manufacturing of dissipative layers, introduced in laminates made with a polymeric matrix and fiberglass reinforcement, which are evaluated with weight drop tests under different impact energies. The data are collected and processed by a unidirectional gravitometer that gives the acceleration values of the impactor. The tests compare unmodified panels with modified panels, showing that the energy absorbed by the unmodified panel is greater at equal energy levels. The returned energy comparison curve is shown, and the benefits of its use are presented.

The use of metamaterials is a good alternative when looking for structures that can withstand compression forces without increasing their weight. In this sense, using nature as a reference can be an appropriate option to design this type of material. Therefore, in this work, a comparative study of a selection of eight representative models of a wide variety of existing solutions, both bioinspired and proposed by various researchers, is presented. These models have been manufactured using stereolithography (SLA) printing, which allows complex geometries to be obtained in a simple way that would be more complicated to achieve by other procedures. Additionally, the manufacturing cost of each model has been determined. The compression tests of the different models have made it possible to evaluate the breaking force and its corresponding deformation. Likewise, a finite element analysis of the manufactured models has been carried out to simulate their behavior under compression, achieving results very similar to those obtained in the experimental tests. In this way, it has been concluded that, among the three-dimensional patterns, the structure called “3D auxetic” is the one that supports the greatest breaking force due to the topographic characteristics of its bar structure. Similarly, among the two-dimensional patterns, the structure called “Auxetic 1”, with a topography based on curves, is capable of supporting the greatest deformation in the compression direction before breaking. Moreover, the highest resistance-force-to-cost ratio has been obtained with a “3D auxetic” structure.

Este proyecto busca mejorar la calidad de vida de los niños con autismo en entornos escolares y promover una educación inclusiva desde una edad temprana a través del juego.Mediante el estudio sobre el tema y el contacto personas con autismo y sus familias, se logró entender cuáles son los principales problemas que sufren los niños con autismo, como la falta de entendimiento, las dificultades de comunicación y otras dificultades sociales. Con esta información, se desarrolló Auri, un juego interactivo en forma de faro, diseñado para las aulas de infantil, que combina un comunicador basado en pictogramas y un proyector sensorial. Auri permite a los niños interactuar con los pictogramas y reproducir contenido audiovisual que fomenta la relajación, el entretenimiento y el aprendizaje. Auri tuvo una acogida favorable por parte de las familias, quienes destacaron su potencial para transformar la dinámica escolar y fomentar la inclusión.

El diseño industrial ha cobrado en los últimos años una alta importancia en el desarrollo de la ingeniería y se ha convertido en una herramienta de fusión entre los métodos de fabricación y la creación artística enfocada a los usuarios, transformándose en una disciplina de alto interés en este sector. Las distintas sociedades del mundo crean a partir de sus necesidades y conceptos productos completamente distintos entre sí a pesar de compartir la misma función. Es esta estética y mentalidad enfocada a un solo grupo en particular la que atrae al resto de consumidores y busca comprender el desarrollo cognitivo tras ese producto. Sin embargo, este proceso de ideas arraigado normalmente en las costumbres y conocimientos tradicionales de dicha sociedad se reproduce en otros sectores industriales tales como la automoción, la tecnología, el mobiliario, la arquitectura, la artesanía o el diseño gráfico. Cuanto más se ahonda en estas ramas, mayor visión se obtiene que todas estas áreas están interconectadas gracias al diseño industrial, que se rige por unos componentes tradicionales, tecnológicos y sociológicos de la época. Para ello, este estudio investiga la importancia de la mentalidad y la cultura japonesa aplicada a distintos sectores de la ingeniería, focalizado desde el punto de vista del diseño industrial; donde se analizan distintos campos ingenieriles y las influencias recibidas desde el exterior del país nipón con su posterior exportación personal al mundo. Con el fin de poder cumplir estos propósitos, el objetivo de este estudio es el de crear un marco y una base de documentación en los distintos sectores con sus respectivas influencias de la sociedad nipona, clasificando y profundizando en distintos autores y obras mientras se contextualizan respecto a su época y situación histórica. La unificación de todos los conceptos que se recogen de forma independiente de los distintos conjuntos que se analicen, con la finalidad de interpretar y encontrar conexiones con el resto de los sectores estudiados, ya sea en la mentalidad percibida, el desarrollo de procesos o cualquier otro factor similar en fabricación u objetivo final. El estudio de estas áreas no como entes separados entre sí, sino como un conjunto semejante y homogéneo, elaborando así una base que categorice todas estas similitudes e interconexiones. Abstract Industrial design has gained in recent years a high importance in the development of engineering and has become a fusion tool between manufacturing methods and artistic creation focused on users, becoming a discipline of high interest in this sector. The different societies of the world create completely different products from their needs and concepts, despite sharing the same function. It is this aesthetics and mentality focused on a single group that attracts the rest of consumers and seeks to understand the cognitive development behind that product. However, this process of ideas, normally rooted in the customs and traditional knowledge of this society, is reproduced in other industrial sectors such as automotive, technology, furniture, architecture, crafts or graphic design. The more you delve into these branches, the more insight you get that all these areas are interconnected thanks to industrial design, which is governed by traditional, technological and sociological components of the time. This study investigates the importance of the Japanese mentality and culture applied to different sectors of engineering, focused from the point of view of industrial design; where different engineering fields and the influences received from outside the Japanese country, with their subsequent personal export to the world, are analyzed. To fulfill these purposes, the objective of this study is to create a framework and a documentation base in the different sectors with their respective influences on Japanese society, classifying and delving into different authors and works while contextualizing themselves with respect to its time and historical situation. The unification of all the concepts that are collected independently of the different groups that are analyzed, to interpret and find connections with the rest of the sectors studied, either in the perceived mentality, the development of processes or any other factor, similar in manufacturing or end goal. The study of these areas not as separate entities from each other, but as a similar and homogeneous set, thus developing a base that categorizes all these similarities and interconnections.
