Using Simulation in the Race Against Corrosion
A German research institute and a well-known car manufacturer joined forces to investigate the corrosion occurring in automotive rivets and sheet metal. Get the full story.
Does the Current Flow Backwards Inside a Battery?
What happens inside a battery? Does the current flow from negative to positive electric potential? Here, we explain the potential profile inside a battery during discharge and recharge.
Corrosion in Oil Platforms
The offshore oil industry is plagued by a persistent and costly problem: Corrosion in oil platforms can lead to damage and failure of the structure, loss of business, and even onsite accidents.
Improving Nuclear Reactor Designs with Simulation
Take a look inside the dynamics of a nuclear reactor — and then see how you can use multiphysics simulation to improve their design.
Avoiding Ship Hull Corrosion with ICCP and Simulation
Did you know that the ocean is an electrolyte? Corrosion commonly seen on ship hulls occurs when there are areas with different potentials within such an electrolyte — saltwater, in this case.
Modeling Corrosion for Automotive Applications
Simulation is a way to address the different types of corrosion that commonly occur in automobiles, saving car manufacturers time, money, and resources.
Studying Impedance to Analyze the Li-Ion Battery with an App
Check out the Lithium-Ion Battery Impedance demo app, which is an example of how apps can be used to interpret the impedance of specific lithium-ion battery designs — with minimal effort!
Protecting Aircraft Composites from Lightning Strike Damage
Some aircraft have a protective coating to mitigate damage from lightning strikes. Boeing used multiphysics simulation to evaluate thermal stress and displacement in this layer.
