Numerical homogenization of fiber reinforced composites has become a valuable design tool by utilizing the power of modern Finite Element Analysis. Piezoelectric materials are used extensively as sensors and actuators. Piezoelectric composites are more desirable than the homogeneous ... Read More

Very recently, the synthesis and experimental study of a new class of highly charged polymer particles has been described, which spontaneously charge in non-aqueous low-polarity solvents [1,2]. These suspensions are an example of what is known as salt-free systems. The study of ... Read More

A standalone interface for web-based virtual reality and the underlying visualization system are presented. The developed user-friendly web application is implemented based on nowadays web techniques. Details for data handling and rendering are given to visualize COMSOL Multiphysics® ... Read More

Silicon solar cells are produced in a series of different process steps in which wet-chemical etching and rinsing steps have a considerable influence on the quality of the wafers. Etching baths are used for surface structuring or intended etch back. Examples therefore are texturing, ... Read More

INTRODUCTION: This paper investigates the design of IPMSM as drive motor for an electric race car in the competition called Formula Student. A key parameter for electrical motor is the power density which is very important for the performance of such race vehicles [1] to keep the overall ... Read More

An integrated numeric, thermodynamic, and experimental analysis work was conducted to find out the proper flow and transport parameters of combined chemical species for low-temperature gaseous nitrocarburizing of stainless steels in an industrial furnace built for thermochemical ... Read More

The performance of the oil reservoir is decisively determined by the hydraulic permeability of the rock and the possible flow paths. During the production phase, the petrophysical properties of the rock may deteriorate due to highly viscous oil deposits, especially in the near of the ... Read More

Non-mechanical micropumps, which does not required moving parts, have prominent role in several biomedical microsystems such as drug delivery, and lab on a chip. Electroosmotic micropump is a non-mechanical micropump that is used to move electrically neutral fluids through very small ... Read More

For non-imaging wearable ultrasound applications Novioscan is developing piezoelectric MEMS transducers. These transducers consist of a large array of micromechanical silicon membranes with piezoelectrically actuated regions to generate an out-of-plane displacement causing a pressure ... Read More
