For the complex 3D biocompatible metallic parts, with high level of customization, used in medical prosthesis and implants Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) and Selective Laser Melting (SLM) are the most common Additive Manufacturing technologies used nowadays. However, both ... Read More
In this paper, a numerical study is conducted on the melting and solidification process of metal foam/paraffin wax with cyclic heating and cooling. A mathematical model based on the Brinkman-Frochheimer extended Darcy equation and the local thermal non-equilibrium model (LTNE) is ... Read More
Hyperloop is a theoretical high-speed mass transportation system which aims to increase efficiency through the use of low-pressure tunnels and contactless propulsion. The University of Edinburgh’s Hyperloop Team (HYPED) has been selected to participate in the SpaceX Hyperloop Pod ... Read More
This paper presents a novel methodology towards the design, analysis, and the fabrication process involved in developing a cost effective method to create a piezoelectric actuator by means of the flexoelectric effect. The basic physical equations of the flexoelectric effect and the ... Read More
The underwater electric potential (UEP) signature of naval vessels poses a severe threat as it is detectable by advanced sea mines. The signature depends also on the environment, mainly the water-seabed interface, leading in summary to the total UEP signature. The seabed has a ... Read More
An important attribute for numerical simulations is to provide accurate quantified solution values. Thus it is useful to find complex problems with analytic solutions to confirm the numerical results obtained from software. The well-known proximity effect causes a redistribution of ... Read More
A piezoelectric transformer allows purely mechanical transfer and scaling of electrical energy via simultaneous utilization of both the direct and converse piezoelectric effects. This mechanical energy transfer enables a wide range of functional differences from typical magnetic-based ... Read More
The effect of plasmon-wavelength scaled gratings on the surface plasmon resonance is studied experimentally and theoretically. The model samples are multi-layers containing laser fabricated gratings at bimetal-polymer interfaces. Dual-angle dependent surface plasmon resonance ... Read More
Three-dimensionally varying flattened Luneburg Lens structure whose axisymmetric invariance of material parameters is calculated by conformal mapping, presents a numerical challenge for three dimensional modelling. To address this problem, conventionally a two dimensional quasi-conformal ... Read More
Pyrometallurgical furnaces are used to produce metals such as copper, nickel and platinum by the smelting process. During smelting, the undesired material components are separated from the desired metal resulting in the formation of a slag and matte/metal phase. The slag phase ... Read More
