Acoustophoresis is a promising technology for the downstream processing of microalgae biorefineries(Zhang et al., 2025). By generating acoustic radiation forces and acoustic streaming, it enables precise manipulation of particles within an acoustic standing field of a microfluidic chip ... Read More
Aerostatic bearings are widely employed in high-precision systems, particularly in micromachining applications. Their contactless operation eliminates mechanical friction, enabling highly accurate and repeatable motion. This makes them especially valuable in metrology and advanced ... Read More
Quasi-static 2D-MEMS vector scanners are micro-opto-electro-mechanical systems (MOEMS) made of monocrystalline silicon. The primary application for these controllable micromirrors is the high dynamic and precise deflection of laser beams, for example in light detection and ranging ... Read More
The process-induced deformation in the DED fabricated part is a critical issue to the scaling of the technology. Currently, an inefficient and expensive experiment trial-and-error approach is utilized to tackle this issue, however it is not feasible for large parts. Researchers have ... Read More
Distributed Feedback Fiber Laser (DFB-FL) sensors are increasingly used in aeronautical applications. One of the newest such applications consists in detecting the “transition” zone between laminar and turbulent air flow upon the extrados surface of an aircraft wing. In this specific ... Read More
In this paper we present a transient numerical model of the heat transfer and thermochemical damage evolution in an IR translucent material using COMSOL Multiphysics. The model is evaluated using literature supplied and experimentally determined material properties for carbon black laden ... Read More
The article deals with the application of the Hartmann effect in high power laser beam welding of aluminum. The movement of liquid metal in a magnetic field causes electric currents which build a Lorentz force that decelerates the original flow. The numerical model calculates the ... Read More
Nowadays, spot laser welding is a full-fledged part of industrial manufacturing and is routinely used due to its advantages. It generates very located temperature gradients, and therefore, induces small distortions in the pieces. The COMSOL Multiphysics® software is used to model the ... Read More
Matrix Assisted Pulsed Laser Evaporation (MAPLE) technique is used for the deposition of high quality biocompatible polymer thin films. During the deposition process the temperature of the laser target should be kept below 193K to assure the proper quality of both evaporation and ... Read More
The application of an oscillating magnetic field on the high-power full-penetration laser beam welding process of a 20 mm thick stainless steel plate was numerically and experimentally investigated. In the simulations, three-dimensional heat transfer and fluid dynamics as well as ... Read More
