Acoustic wave propagation due to the breakage or slippage of reinforced wire in water-filled prestressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP) attracts interest in non-destructive pipe testing. Current practice of acoustic emission (AE) detection and wire-break related events (WRE) recognition ... Read More
Selective laser melting (SLM) is a popular additive manufacturing (AM) process that creates 3D metal parts by fusing fine metallic powder together. However, it remains difficult to certify AM part as its final quality can largely vary, depending on material and process variations. These ... Read More
Strain gauges have been extensively used for detecting strain in various applications. Double-ended tuning fork (DETF) strain gages present better performance characteristics than standard foil gauges, including higher sensitivity, smaller size and higher resolution. This study focuses ... Read More
Evaluation of J-integral in three dimensional bimodular stress field has been carried out for a cracked three point bend specimen having properties of nuclear grade graphite (2020). The additional area integral has an important role in J-integral. The stress dependent elasticity ... Read More
2D-modeling of arc welding in butt-joint configuration was performed in this study considering thermal-structural interactions. Thermal behavior was modeled in COMSOL Multiphysics® using the Heat Transfer Module with weld heat input as a Gaussian pulse whereas structural behavior using ... Read More
An attempt was made, as described in this paper, to assign material properties like shear strength and modulus of elasticity randomly. In this way, the behaviour of a masonry wall with a prefabricated concrete lintel was experimentally tested and simulated using COMSOL. The paper ... Read More
Many materials require functionally graded cellular microstructures whose porosity is engineered to meet specific requirements of diverse applications. It has been shown in previous work that the bubble growth rate of a polymeric foam can be influenced by the surrounding acoustic ... Read More
Finite element method (FEM)-based solutions are known to contains errors and uncertainties due to at least four mathematical (M) and four physical (P) sources, namely, (M-1) mesh density or degrees of freedom, (M-2) mesh element types, (M-3) mesh quality such as mean aspect ratio, (M-4) ...

To investigate the thermal-mechanical behavior of oceanic transform faults, we calculate 3-D steady-state incompressible mantle flow and heat transport using COMSOL Multiphysics. Our model incorporates a nonlinear viscous rheology with a visco-plastic approximation to simulate ... Read More
Cereal foods can be considered as cellular solids: texture is defined by their structure and mechanical properties [1]. Elderly people show a significant alteration of oral health [2] and salivation [3], causing difficulties to eat. Therefore, there is a need to understand chewing ... Read More
