The objective of this research is to design a millimeter scale broadband energy harvester device through the use of a multi-cantilever beam approach with a non-linear geometry. In this research, we use COMSOL Multiphysics® software to design, simulate and analyze the voltage and power ... Read More
Ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) materials are promising candidates for soft robotics and artificial muscle applications. The primary actuation mechanism in such devices is ion migration in a polymer membrane, localized swelling, and a corresponding overall material deformation, ... Read More
A dielectric multilayer structure, with a grating profile on the surface layer, can couple light into a strongly confined surface wave, known as a Bloch surface wave. These surface modes can be used to design bio-sensors. The corrugated surface structure also enables azimuthal angular ... Read More
INTRODUCTION: Abnormalities in local body surface temperature have been recognized as a sign of disease for centuries, much before humans knew about the cause of ailments or of pain [1]. The idea of this work is to use numerical simulation tools to predict the location, size and ... Read More
Permanent magnets are ubiquitous in our world today, from refrigerator magnets to industrial sensor applications. Often, the magnitude of the field at a specific distance from an arbitrarily shaped magnet of variable strength is a necessary parameter for end-use systems. We used the the ... Read More
Radio frequency (RF) micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) switch works in on/off modes controlled by electrostatic forces. In off mode, rough surfaces of electrodes come into a contact. Membrane contact surfaces have complex surface roughness patterns and the mechanical contact problem ... Read More
A 2nd-generation irradiation target holder is being developed at the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). This 2nd-generation holder design is focused on improving the loading and unloading of the targets by the HFIR operators since a large number of ... Read More
Eccentricity in annular channels contributes to changes in fluid flow characteristics which in turn, affects the performance and integrity of the configuration. This research investigates a model of an annular channel with a diameter ratio of 0.762, an aspect ratio of 68.9:1 and heating ... Read More
Plate fin-tube heat exchangers are used extensively in heating, ventilating, and air conditioning, process engineering, and refrigeration systems. They have a high degree of surface compactness. Substantial heat transfer enhancement is obtained as a result of the periodic starting and ... Read More
The liquid food product packaging are today predominantly made with board LPB type board (Liquid Packaging Board) composite formed by board, which offers mechanical strength, polyethylene, constituent responsible for protection against the passage humidity, and aluminum foil, which helps ...
