Bio-compatibilized G/GO/RGO composite structures with embedded stearic acid on a bilayer structure model, biomimicking the cellular lipid bilayer are introduced through successive models. The solvent accessible surface of the models (van der Waals surface) and the related MD values were ... Read More

Fiber-reinforced composite materials are widely used for building lightweight parts in several application fields like aviation or naval industry. Here the longitudinal fibers, which take the main mechanical loads of the component, are embedded in a shape giving resinous matrix. The ... Read More

Introduction Leaky Surface Acoustic Wave (LSAW) resonators in rotated Y-X cut Lithium Tantalate (LiTaO3) are widely used for resonator based ladder filters in telecommunication applications. These devices make use of quasi- shear waves confined to the surface of the piezoelectric layer ... Read More

According to a report conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 466 million people suffer from hearing loss. Conventional hearing aids are sufficient for most patients, being constantly further developed and optimized - connecting the service of the hearing aid to the ... Read More

Manufacturing and finishing of components with complex internal features is a significant challenge. Industrial sectors like automotive industry, aeronautics or medical technology require these internal features with highest precision and repeatability. Such components are often machined ...

The advantages of carbon based materials at high temperature applications are their lightweight high-temperature stability, chemical resistance combined with good thermally and electrically conducting properties. In such applications, typically materials like graphite and carbon fiber ... Read More

Various types of FI-Relays are built in electrical protective residual current devices (RCD). They are all electromechanical assemblies that trip at appearance of residual currents (i.e. fault or earth leakage current) and consequently break main contacts of RCD. FI relays are very ... Read More

Gaseous fluorine plays a major role in the nuclear industry since it is used to produce uranium hexafluoride, whose physical properties are the key to classical uranium enrichment processes. The fluorine production process is based on the electrolysis of an anhydrous HF-composed molten ... Read More

Developing a new loudspeaker design requires not only knowledge and experience in the field, but also an access to verified and efficient tools. HARMAN’s Virtual Product Development (VPD) team has developed a Comsol Application to serve at the early stages of the design process. The app, ... Read More

Hyperloop is a future concept of mass transportation proposed by Elon Musk. It uses electromagnetic propulsion to accelerate a passenger or cargo pod through a low-pressure tube. HYPED, the University of Edinburgh’s Hyperloop Team has created a prototype that uses linear halbach arrays ... Read More
