An auto-consistent multiphysical 3D model with strong coupling between Heat Transfer, Navier Stokes and ALE problems is proposed for the description of transient development of the keyhole and the melted zone in laser welding of metallic materials. It showed a satisfactory correspondence ... Read More
Many materials require functionally graded cellular microstructures whose porosity is engineered to meet specific requirements of diverse applications. It has been shown in previous work that the bubble growth rate of a polymeric foam can be influenced by the surrounding acoustic ... Read More
Selective Laser Melting (SLM), like many other additive manufacturing techniques, offers flexibility in design expected to become a disruption to the manufacturing industry. The current cost of SLM process does not favor a try-and-error way of research; which gives more room for ... Read More
In order to optimize the industrial “ammunition cooling” process, a COMSOL Multiphysics® model is proposed. A shell body filled with a melt-cast explosive formulation is poured and cooled by circulation of a heat transfer fluid. The solidification of the explosive composition has several ... Read More
Additive manufacturing gathers technologies where near net shape components are produced by depositing successive layers of materials. Among these technologies, the Layer Beam Melting (LBM) process – often referred to as Selective Laser Melting (SLM) – is garnering industrial interest, ... Read More
Current research focus on improvement of electrical, mechanical, surface characteristics of polypropylene films by incorporation of nanoparticles into the polymer matrix of the film. We built 3D model of polypropylene Nanocomposites made of polypropylene matrix and incorporating various ... Read More
Additive manufacturing processes are increasingly used for designing metallic parts with complex geometries. The current needs are focused on the manufacturing of large-scale parts, typically of meter range. However, for such dimensions, the traditional trial-and-error methodology used ... Read More
A one-dimensional model of Excimer Laser-Annealing of amorphous silicon layers which are irradiated with a KrF excimer laser is described. For realisation, the application mode heat transfer in solids is used. The model predicts a melt threshold for the energy density of the laser of 88 ... Read More
COMSOL Multiphysics® is being utilized to develop Thermal Model for Wire Directed Energy Deposition Additive Manufacturing (Wire-DED) process with an objective to analyse the heat transfer phenomenon during and after the process. Wire-DED process’s growing industrial acceptance at a very ... Read More
Injection molding is one of the most diffused processes for mass production of polymeric components. It is adopted in many fields, from the automotive one to the biomedical field. The aspects related to environmental pollution make mandatory the reduction of plastic wastes, especially ... Read More
