Strain gauges have been extensively used for detecting strain in various applications. Double-ended tuning fork (DETF) strain gages present better performance characteristics than standard foil gauges, including higher sensitivity, smaller size and higher resolution. This study focuses ... Read More
Selective laser melting (SLM) is a popular additive manufacturing (AM) process that creates 3D metal parts by fusing fine metallic powder together. However, it remains difficult to certify AM part as its final quality can largely vary, depending on material and process variations. These ... Read More
Finite element method (FEM)-based solutions are known to contains errors and uncertainties due to at least four mathematical (M) and four physical (P) sources, namely, (M-1) mesh density or degrees of freedom, (M-2) mesh element types, (M-3) mesh quality such as mean aspect ratio, (M-4) ...

Cereal foods can be considered as cellular solids: texture is defined by their structure and mechanical properties [1]. Elderly people show a significant alteration of oral health [2] and salivation [3], causing difficulties to eat. Therefore, there is a need to understand chewing ... Read More
Evaluation of J-integral in three dimensional bimodular stress field has been carried out for a cracked three point bend specimen having properties of nuclear grade graphite (2020). The additional area integral has an important role in J-integral. The stress dependent elasticity ... Read More
2D-modeling of arc welding in butt-joint configuration was performed in this study considering thermal-structural interactions. Thermal behavior was modeled in COMSOL Multiphysics® using the Heat Transfer Module with weld heat input as a Gaussian pulse whereas structural behavior using ... Read More
Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) are one of the most attractive technologies for meeting our future energy demands. They promise the efficient conversion of chemical to electrical energy and are a growing area of both academic and industrial interests. Typical electrode-supported SOFCs ... Read More
The dumbbell geometry is an ideal shape for testing the compressive strength of advanced ceramic materials. This paper details the combined use of COMSOL Multiphysics® and LiveLink™ for MATLAB® for determining the elastic properties of dumbbell-shaped samples by measuring their acoustic ... Read More
During the hydraulic fracturing process, there can be possible re-activation of closed/sealed faults and natural fractures in the formation, which may lead to changes in the boundary conditions of the reservoir. While study models of shale gas formations have utilized the concept of a ... Read More
The detection of early corrosion is a key issue to mitigate the damage induced by metal corrosion. The optical fiber corrosion sensor based on a side-polished polarizer is realized recently. The polarizer is fabricated by sputtering a Fe film on a side-polished single mode fiber. The new ... Read More
