While prosthetic joints can improve people’s quality of life, there is an unmet need for the treatment of post-surgery infections. A novel technology has been developed that can treat these infections with electromagnetic heating. A series of anatomical models of knees with implants ... Read More
In recent years, the optimization of high-temperature superconductors (HTS) has shown promising potential for developing advanced cable layouts aimed at the realization of practical fusion reactors. Despite their excellent performance in terms of electromagnetic and mechanical stability, ... Read More
As semiconductor devices continue to shrink and incorporate complex 3D architectures, conventional optical metrology faces limitations in resolving features smaller than the optical wavelength or those hidden beneath opaque layers. Ultrafast photoacoustic spectroscopy provides a ... Read More
In the nuclear industry, and particularly at Framatome, mastery of welding processes is essential. Framatome is one of the world leaders in this field and wants to improve even more. The work presented focuses on improving the TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding process, and more ... Read More
Splitting a 3D model into two coupled components can increase performance [1]. Two offshore applications with the AC/DC module and the heat transfer module are presented, but the approach is general. The examples simulate the hotspot temperature in a three core cable with cross-sectional ... Read More
Induction heating (IH) [1] is a good candidate for decarbonization of chemical processes: energy savings, process intensification and production costs reduction [2-5]. Heat can be generated directly into the reactor at the surface in contact with the gas flux passing through a specific ... Read More
Eddy current thermography (ECT) is a non-destructive contact-free method of defect detection in a conductive material combining the electromagnetic induction of eddy currents and thermal imaging. This technique uses an excitation system consisting of an inductor with coil(s) carrying ... Read More
The contamination of food products with low water contents is a safety issue that cannot be disregarded. Despite their low water activity, they are indeed susceptible to infection by micro-organisms that are highly resistant to heat. In this case, conventional pasteurisation techniques ... Read More
Arc welding is a widely used process in heavy industry for the assembly of metallic components. To ensure high-quality welds, it is essential to understand both the welding process and the complex interactions within the melt pool. Numerical simulation is employed as a predictive tool to ...
