Evolution-based tool path and motion planning optimization for 5-axis CNC machining of free-form surfaces

Echevarrieta Ibarra, J.; Pérez, A.; Barton, M.; Zaragoza, J.; Bizzarri, M. (2026-01-01)

Manufacturing of free-form geometries using 5-axis Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machining brings challenges in path- and motion-planning as one typically wants to minimize the manufacturing time of the object under ...

Smoothed Dissipative Particle Dynamics for Mesoscale Advection-Diffusion-Reaction Problems

Echeverría, M.; Moreno, N.; Ellero, M. (2025-10-01)

Smoothed dissipative particle dynamics (SDPD) is a widely used particle-based method for modeling soft matter systems at mesoscopic and macroscopic scales, offering thermodynamic consistency and direct control over the fluid...

How particular is the physics of the free energy principle?

Aguilera, M.; Millidge, B.; Tschantz, A.; Buckley, C.L. (2022-03-01)

The free energy principle (FEP) states that any dynamical system can be interpreted as performing Bayesian inference upon its surrounding environment. Although, in theory, the FEP applies to a wide variety of systems, there ...
