Numerous volcanic systems across the world are actively undergoing unrest, resulting in non-eruptive episodes of inflation and deflation. Whilst these episodes of ground deformation are readily identifiable within geodetic time-series e.g. GPS, InSAR, the underlying processes ... Read More
Focused ultrasounds are used in many medical applications as a treatment: it is important to evaluate the induced effects of such a procedure to achieve a high accuracy while keeping the untargeted surrounding areas safe. In the present paper, COMSOL Multiphysics®, a simulation software ... Read More
Diamond is a modification of carbon and so far the hardest known material. It is well suitable as a protection layer on various materials at high erosive, mechanical or chemical load. CVD diamond coated tools have high wear resistance, tool life, and surface quality. In this research ... Read More
The COMSOL Multiphysics® Multibody Dynamics Module was used to analyze the performance of a high-speed metal forming press consisting of multiple processes for preform of aluminum blanks. The objective was to redesign the drive mechanism of the press, changing from a 4 bar linkage ... Read More
According to a World Health Organization report, more than 360 million people suffer from hearing loss [1]. The majority of patients can usually be fitted with conventional hearing aids. These devices are subject to continuous further development and optimization - connecting the ... Read More
During semiconductor manufacturing, finished silicon microchips need to be released from a carrier tape they stick to by an adhesive. This is done by vacuum forces that (a) hold the chip flat from above and (b) pull the tape off from the chip underside. Sounds simple, but is very tricky ... Read More
The EPFLoop team from Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne has developed a capsule thanks to which it achieved 3rd place in SpaceX’s Hyperloop Pod Competition in 2018. This year the EPFLoop team has been selected again to participate at the 2019 Competition held at the SpaceX ... Read More
The EPFLoop team from Lausanne last year won the 3rd place in SpaceX’s Hyperloop Pod Competition in 2018. This year the team will participate at the 2019 Competition held at the SpaceX facilities California. Reliability of the different subsystems constituting the pod is a key point. ... Read More
Geological Carbon Storage (GCS) is viewed as a viable option to reduce Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions. In particular, CO2 injection into deep saline formations (DSF) has been the subject of numerous investigations during the last decade, including pilot and demonstration projects [Reiner ... Read More
Advanced Gas Cooled Reactors (AGRs), owned and operated by EDF Energy, generate around 15% of electrical power in the UK. As AGRs approach their end of life, cracking is liable to occur in the graphite bricks which make up a major part of the reactor core. Safety cases to justify ... Read More
