Thermal ablation driven by an acoustic heat source has tremendous potential for the treatment of diseased tissue. In many applications, such as treating tumors in the liver, bulk removal of tissue is required, and thermal ablation can reliably cause necrosis for a relatively large tissue ... Read More
Foam is a multiscale material composed of many millimetric cells. Altogether, the cells can easily be shaped into almost any object of the metric scale, provided that a mould is available to let the initial mixture expand appropriately. While some mechanical properties such as foam ... Read More
The intestine, a muscular, tubular organ within the digestive system is responsible for the final stages of food processing. The cyclic material transport generates a shear stress on the intestinal lining known as epithelium. Recently, the application of shear stress on epithelial cells ... Read More
Due to particle interactions, magnetic particles suspended in non-magnetic fields tend to form chains, clusters or columns under magnetic fields. The non-spherical magnetic particles in the suspension show different rheological properties compared to spherical particles. In this paper, ... Read More
In India, more than 150,000 people are killed each year in traffic accidents, according to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways 2016 report. That’s about 400 fatalities a day, which is far higher than in developed auto markets like the US which, in 2016, logged about 40,000 a ... Read More
This article reports the design of a high-power ultrasound system, capable of emitting acoustic radiation at 20kHz with SPL peaks up to 160dB at a distance of up to 1m. The main problem of high power airborne ultrasonic systems lies in the acoustic impedance mismatch between the radiator ... Read More
This study focuses on optimizing the lengths of various structural components around a cylinder to minimize drag. Using COMSOL Multiphysics, numerical simulations involving Laminar Flow were performed. Key components optimized include an arrowhead positioned upstream and two flaps ... Read More
The activity focuses on improving the overall performance and design of a small-sized heat exchanger. This heat exchanger is designed to raise the temperature of a fluid (water), using tubular electric heaters. The device consists of a steel case with two hydraulic connections for fluid ... Read More
The scale up of electrical energy storage is one of the great technological challenges of our time as the world must quickly transform its energy infrastructure away from fossil fuels. Companies striving to commercialize new battery technologies must solve numerous electrochemical, ... Read More
Simulation of arc-wire additive manufacturing is under development in many academic and industrial sectors and at different scales. The study at the melt pool scale is often interesting to study deposition shapes and defects but not very relevant to calculate the stresses and strains at ... Read More
