Solar thermal energy, compared to fossil fuels, is an environmentally friendly alternative for heating and hot water production. Recent research suggests that polymeric materials can be a cost-saving and environmentally friendly alternative to the common metals used in solar thermal ... 詳細を見る

This work shows the finite element implementation of a constitutive model which can represent the chemo-thermomechanical aging of rubber. This approach considers the nonlinear thermo-viscoelastic behavior of rubber, is formulated for finite deformations in the continuum mechanical ... 詳細を見る

A growing demand is recently emerging of sensors to be integrated in the concrete in order to measure some critical parameters, such as humidity and temperature and the internal pressure of the material. For example, by monitoring the pressure in various strategic points of the structure ... 詳細を見る

Within the field of Non Destructive Testing (NDT) of materials, nonlinear ultrasonic techniques are becoming increasingly popular, since they provide extreme sensitivity in detecting the presence of incipient damage. However, the next step forward would be to fully characterize the ... 詳細を見る

The numerical results of the unconfined compression test on a sample of Articular Cartilage (AC) are discussed. AC is modelled as a load-bearing, deformable, fiber-reinforced material filled with an interstitial fluid and comprising statistically oriented collagen fibers, chondrocytes, ... 詳細を見る

In order to satisfy the requirements of modern range measuring technology, photoelectric theodolites gradually develop towards lightweight and minitype design. As a consequence, the mobile theodolite is becoming a hot spot recently. New requirements are raised for the theodolite base ... 詳細を見る

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 ... 詳細を見る

In this paper, a two dimensional finite element based microstructural model is constructed using Voronoi tessellation for representing polycrystalline material. Elastic wave propagation and Heat diffusion studies are then performed on constructed microstructure model.Computational issues ... 詳細を見る

A Shock absorber is a mechanical device engineered to absorb high impact load and provide comfort while riding on a rough roads. Suspension springs are the key components of a shock absorber to resist critical impact loads and provide ride comfort. The cylindrical spring designs comes ... 詳細を見る

In this report, we present the design and analysis of microcantilevers of various shapes and materials for different applications. Here we investigate the sensitivity i.e. amount of bending of the cantilever due to same amount of force applied to each of the shape and the respective ... 詳細を見る
