Composite systems are becoming more and more widespread across industries and the capability to finding and tracking internal defects before they have grown to major deterioration is of paramount importance in regard to safety, economy and maintenance. We are exploring a novel method of ... Read More

This paper describes a numerical solution method for the simulation of a cold crucible induction melting (CCIM) process involving the coupling of electromagnetic, temperature and turbulent velocity fields. During the CCIM process, the metal charge is contained on a water cooled ... Read More

An simple analytical model for the calculation of the resonance frequency of coils typical consists of a network of inductance, capacitance and resistance. Calculating these three parameters based on spatial geometry is not easy in most cases. The finite element method as used in COMSOL ... Read More

We consider the problem of calculating forces on high current solid conductors, as is present e.g. in substations[1]. This is of importance for the design of the station, in particular for the conductor geometry and mechanical support. The full calculation includes a treatment of the ... Read More

Multiphysics acoustics is increasingly used to design products to meet sound, ultrasound and infrasound and other structural, thermal, electromagnetic requirements. In this paper, Multiphysics Acoustical applications such as digital stethoscope, glazing products and acoustical ... Read More

The advent of wireless power transfer (WPT) technology has offered a gradually evolving research field with a multitude of triggering applications, like electric vehicles, bio-medical implants and wireless charging media for consumer electronics. However, since the initial establishment ... Read More

The detection, characterization, and classification of underground environmental hazardous objects [mines, IEDs, and other unexploded military hardware] is a worldwide problem that needs urgent attention and solution. While electromagnetic sensor technologies have been applied to ... Read More

To overcome the uneven heating during the process of microwave heating of food inside microwave oven, a geometrical model based on domestic microwave oven with a cylindrical container composed of multi-materials(with two different kinds of materials, one half is glass and the other half ...

PECM is a necessary extension to traditional ECM for some high-performance materials. Electrolyte flow in the inter-electrode gap (IEG) can be assisted using a magnetic field to allow higher currents, but this creates a magnetohydrodynamic flow. This paper presents a study of flow ... Read More

Trefoil cable formation is used where three phases are carried by three single core power cables, rather than a single three phase multicore cable. The advantage of installing three single cores in such a configuration is that it minimises the induction of eddy currents, therefore ... Read More
