Material constants are required to develop new materials for the aerospace, automotive and energy industries. With these highly accurate experimentally determined data, complex metallurgical melting processes can be simulated later, for example. The microstructure of the new alloy can be ... Read More
Here we present a simulation for evaluation of novel obscurant candidates under high-energy laser (HEL) illumination. This approach incorporates thermal modeling into obscurant characterization, allowing for evaluation of the temperature increase of the candidate obscurants as well as ... Read More
Localized Joule heating within integrated circuit (IC) chips is the leading cause of non-uniform temperature distribution within the circuit structure of the chips. Such variation in temperature enhances the biased diffusion of metal atoms along current carrying interconnects, a ... Read More
This paper presents multiphysics modeling of coupled thermal-electrical behavior across the composite joints formed by highly anisotropic conductivity materials such as carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) under lightning strike conditions and demonstrates the driving physics behind ...

A two dimensional instationary analysis of the conjugate optical-thermal fields induced in a multilayer thin film structure on a glass substrate by a moving Gaussian laser source is carried out numerically in order to compare back and front laser treatment processes. COMSOL Multiphysics ... Read More
Hyperloop is a future concept of mass transportation proposed by Elon Musk. It uses electromagnetic propulsion to accelerate a passenger or cargo pod through a low-pressure tube. HYPED, the University of Edinburgh’s Hyperloop Team has created a prototype that uses linear halbach arrays ... Read More
Single turn coils produce AC and transient magnetic fields in pulsed magnetic technologies for which magneto-harmonic and transient magnetic analysis can be primarily performed. We suggest studying one single turn coil example made of a conducting massive coil, an optional conducting ... Read More
Additive Manufacturing is revolutionizing the industrial sector for complex and individualized metallic components. The most limiting factor of the widely established laser beam melting technology is the scan velocity due to inertia of the mirrors [1]. In electron beam melting (EBM), ... Read More
Arc current welding is a widespread process in heavy industry for the assembly of metallic components. In order to ensure the good quality of assemblies welds, it is appropriate to master the welding process but also to have a deep understanding of interactions with the weld pool and ... Read More
The transport of fluid through nanochannels is of importance in a variety of technological applications, including biological sensing, energy storage and conversion, chemical separation and many others. Synthetic nanofluidic architectures that mimic the gating functions of biological ion ... Read More
