The transfer molding process is a widely used method for encapsulating microelectronics and power semiconductor devices. In power electronics, it is gaining increasing importance, particularly in the automotive sector [1]. In transfer molding, an epoxy mold compound (EMC) is injected ... Read More
The WaveEL buoy developed by the company Waves4power is characterized as a point absorber and has a 36 meters long vertical cylinder where a water-piston is oscillating due to induced motion from the waves. Estimating the wave loads on the piston is a challenge due to the presence of ... Read More
Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) plays an important role in the seismic analysis and the design of Hydraulic structures. In this study, the acoustic finite element model is analyzed with impounded water considering appropriate boundary conditions between the water & the upstream ... Read More
The High Flux Isotope Reactor at the Oak Ridge National Lab is in the research stage of converting its fuel from high-enriched uranium to low-enriched uranium. One of the areas being explored is the fluid-structure interaction phenomenon due to the interaction of thin fuel plates (50 ... Read More
Metal foams are interesting materials with many potential uses. They are characterized by a cellular structure represented by a metal (or a metal alloy) and gas voids inside. A common metallic cellular material is a solid sponge, also known as open-cell metal foam. Due to their intrinsic ... Read More
This study focuses on optimizing the lengths of various structural components around a cylinder to minimize drag. Using COMSOL Multiphysics, numerical simulations involving Laminar Flow were performed. Key components optimized include an arrowhead positioned upstream and two flaps ... Read More
Efficient mixing and pumping of liquids at the microscale is a technology that is still to be optimized. The combination of an AC electric field with a small temperature gradient leads to a strong electrothermal flow that can be used for multiple purposes. Combining simulations and ... Read More
This study focuses on the design and optimization of a logging while drilling (LWD) tool with look-ahead detection capabilities, which is widely used in measuring formation resistivity and detecting formation boundaries ahead of the drill bit during oil and gas drilling operations. The ... Read More
A pneumonectomy is an invasive, high-risk surgical procedure performed to remove the right or left lung. Although this may be a life saving procedure for some patients, it has high morbidity rates and many complications post-pneumonectomy. Pneumonectomies result in the heart’s entire ... Read More
Started in March 2020, the SOFITT project (Saturated Open-Cell Foams for Innovative Tribology in Turbomachinery), funded by the ANR (French National Research Agency), aims to develop reliable, high-performance, and environmentally friendly solutions for the guidance and support systems ... Read More
