Acoustic Wave Propagation in Water Filled Buried Polyethylene Pipes

T. Graf[1], T. Gisler[1], P. Sollberger[1], O. Schaelli[1]
[1]School of Engineering and Architecture, Lucerne University, Horw, Switzerland

Axisymmetric acoustic waves propagating along buried water pipes have been investigated by FEM and experimentally. Universal dispersion relations of the fundamental mode were obtained as a function of the standard dimension ratio SDR and of the material surrounding the pipe (soil, air). ... Read More

Hydrodynamic Flow Focusing for Microfluidic Cell Sorting Chip

N. Mehendale[1], D. Paul[1]
[1]Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

Hydrodynamic flow focusing is an important requirement of microfluidic cell sorting devices. It allows the cells to arrive sequentially at the sorting location making detection easier. The simplest flow focusing configuration uses a three input Y-shaped microchannel. The sample enters ... Read More

Microfluidic Simulation of a Separation System of T.cruzi from Blood Samples

[1] Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Los Andes, Bogotá, Colombia
[2] Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Microelectronics Center, University of Los Andes, Bogotá, Colombia

In 2014, it was estimated that there are between 6 to 7 million people worldwide infected by Chagas disease and approximately 25 million people are currently at risk. The parasite Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) causes this disease and according to the World Health Organization (WHO) it can ... Read More

Towards the Modeling of Microgalvanic Corrosion in Aluminum Alloys: the Choice of Boundary Conditions

N. Murer[1], N. Missert[2], and R. Bucchheit[1]

[1]Fontana Corrosion Center, Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, USA
[2]Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, NM, USA

Aluminum alloys in near-neutral, mildly aggressive solutions, undergo damage accumulation during corrosion, mostly due to the presence of micrometer-sized constituent intermetallic particles (IMP) that create a microstructural discontinuity at which localized corrosion occurs. The ... Read More

Finite Element Modeling for Inspection of CANDU® Steam Generators
