Deformation of Stamp Features with Slanted Walls During Microcontact Printing

F. E. Hizir[1], H. M. Al-Qahtani[1, 2], D. E. Hardt[1]
[1]Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA
[2]King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia

Microcontact printing is a method for depositing patterns of thin films or molecular monolayers on surfaces using a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stamp for selective mechanical contact (Figure 1). Undesired deformation of the stamp features during printing affects printed pattern quality. ... Read More

Simulation of Droplet Impingement on a Solid Surface by the Level Set Method

The dynamic behavior of droplet impingement on a solid surface is important to many engineering applications. This paper studied the dynamic behavior of a droplet impinging onto solid dry surfaces with different surface wettability using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software. The simulation ... Read More

Using Multiphysics to Quantify Leakage Rates in New and Rehabilitated Sewer and Water Pipes

C. Hansen [1],
[1] Electro Scan Inc., Sacramento, CA, USA

Traditionally, municipal sewer and water agencies have relied on acoustic data loggers and closed-circuit television cameras to inspect pipes for leaks. In addition, the same legacy techniques have been used to certify new and rehabilitated pipes as watertight. Unfortunately, visually ... Read More

Simulation of Incompressible Flow through Rhombohedric Pores
