In recent years, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) has played a key role in the characterisation of surface structures and materials at the microscopic level. One of the most important aspects of AFM image analysis is the reliable provision of pore size and cross-linking rate data. AFM uses ... Read More
Bimetallic mechanical parts made of steel and bronze combine in an optimal manner the mechanical properties of the steel and the excellent anti-friction characteristics of the bronze. These properties make applications possible in various high-tech domains such as aviation, energy and ... Read More
Clayey soils and rocks are often used to secure contaminants, dissolved in the interstitial water, or fluids immiscible with water, because of their hydraulic properties (very low permeability and high water retention capabilities, see e.g. McCartney et al., 2016). However, their hydro ... Read More
Deformation of food packaging materials due to internal pressure buildup during sterilization is a critical concern for packaging integrity and product safety, particularly in non-rigid containers like polypropylene (PP) trays for ready-to-eat meals. (Dutta et al., 2024b). Internal ... Read More
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAAs) are balloonings of the descending aorta. Surgical intervention only occurs when the aneurysm growth exceeds a certain threshold, which is slightly different between men and women. Early-stage patients are often asymptomatic, and there is no prediction ... Read More
Among the different uses of primary energy in the industrial and residential sectors, refrigeration and air conditioning systems consume around 17% of the electricity produced worldwide [1], reaching dissipated powers of approximately 2000 TWh [2]. These devices are based on the vapor ... Read More
Freeze-drying is a widespread technology particularly suitable for heat-sensitive materials such as pharmaceuticals that could be damaged by the high temperature required by traditional drying treatments. A freeze-dryer is composed of two chambers: drying chamber and condenser, connected ... Read More
Ultrasonic nondestructive testing (NDT) is extensively used in fields like medicine, oil and gas, and aerospace to inspect materials without causing damage. However, developing experimental setups and prototypes can be costly and time-consuming. This study employs advanced computational ... Read More
Synthetic jet actuators enhance flow control by generating pulsatile jets with zero net mass flux. There is a need to develop a computationally inexpensive model that can generate optimal geometric actuator designs of maximum jet performance. This work investigates the multi-physics ... Read More
Seasonal thermal energy storage systems are key enablers of future low-carbon and flexible energy infrastructures. Among the different storage technologies, water-gravel thermal energy storage (WGTES) offers a robust, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable solution for large ... Read More
