Stress and Fatigue in Modular Implants Used in Hip Joints
A crucial part of the design process for modular implants, such as replacement joints, is to study how the modular combination of parts will behave under dynamic loads and stresses.
Acoustic Levitation Puts a Pure Spin on Medicine Fabrication
Engineers from Argonne National Laboratory used multiphysics simulation and trial-and-error prototyping to optimize the effectiveness of an acoustic levitator for medical fabrication.
A Recipe for Success at Whirlpool Corporation
Engineers at Whirlpool Corporation and the GREENKITCHEN European green energy initiative project used multiphysics simulation to improve energy efficiency in kitchen appliances.
New Book on Topology Optimization for Electromagnetics
Whether you’re a student or an industry engineer, read Multiphysics Simulation: Electromechanical System Applications and Optimization, a reference guide on simulation and topology optimization.
Converting the High Flux Isotope Reactor to LEU Fuel
Learn about an initiative that requires nuclear research reactors currently using highly enriched uranium fuel to be converted to low enriched uranium fuel — and how simulation can help.
Studying Sonar Systems on a Component Level
Did you know that “sonar” stands for sound navigation and ranging? Using simulation, you can study the individual components of a sonar system, including its electroacoustic transducer.
Seas of Change for Wind Turbines
One benefit of placing wind turbines offshore? They can’t be heard! Even better? High winds occur with more regularity offshore, making energy production more effective!
Portable Cordless Vaccine Storage Device
Their goal? To optimize the design of a passive vaccine storage device. Their tactic? Combining experimentation with the modeling of thermal and vacuum systems in COMSOL Multiphysics®.
