The constitutive properties of a paperboard side-notched composite loaded vertically were determined in inverse method (IM) using a single component of measured displacement data. The cost function, which is the difference between the measured v-displacement and the reconstructed ... Read More
The spindle is regarded as the heart of the CNC machine tool. Typically, the spindle is operated using the belt or gear drives to realize the relative motion between workpiece and cutting tool. However, they cannot be operated at high speeds due to power transmission losses, thus ... Read More
The present work formulates the dynamics of a slender structure as a long beam. This results in a PDE that is fourth-order in space, and second order in time. In COMSOL the coupling method is used to decompose this problem into two second-order equations, one for displacements, and one ... Read More
Micro machined motors are a recent development in the domain of electrical machines. Compared to the conventional electromagnetic motors, micro machined motors offer high torque at lower speed, and are compact in nature. This makes them suitable for applications in the field of ... Read More
The optical scattering and absorption of gold nanorods (GNRs) depends on its size, shape, and surroundings. This dependence is due to both intrinsic and extrinsic effects. A good understanding of this dependence is needed for applications of GNRs in photo-thermal therapy, optical and ... Read More
Vibration and Dynamic performances of the rotating machinery are conventionally evaluated based on the dominant structural forces such as the centrifugal forces. The increase in rotational speed, miniaturization and performance, demands for improved and accurate evaluation of the ... Read More
Turbomachines blades are forced by a load resulting from the interaction with the fluid. The consequent vibrations, and the associated fatigue phenomena, can give catastrophic failures and the reduction of the blades life. It could be increased if damping system are used. The ... Read More
The underwater electric potential (UEP) signature of naval vessels poses a severe threat as it is detectable by advanced sea mines. The signature depends also on the environment, mainly the water-seabed interface, leading in summary to the total UEP signature. The seabed has a ... Read More
Harald Biller studied mathematics and physics at Darmstadt, London, and Würzburg. In 1999, he received his PhD from Stuttgart University, specializing in functional analysis, topology, and Lie theory. He worked as a lecturer at Darmstadt University until 2004, when he became a ... Read More
In this study we model the sound attenuation properties of a hearing aid earmold tube. The model includes thermoviscous acoustic effects and it couples structural vibrations to the external acoustic field. Moreover, the finite element domain is coupled at two boundaries with an ... Read More
