Micro Wire EDM (Electro Discharge Machine) process is a highly reliable and non-conventional process to manufacture precise and accurate complex shapes in various types of conducting materials. The accuracy of this process is measured in micrometres, thus making it superior to other ... En savoir plus

Dental restorations can be made by different materials bonded together, which grant good mechanical resistance and aesthetic at the same time. In order to evaluate the behavior of dental restorations in the oral environment, a test, called thermocycler, is used, which simulates the ... En savoir plus

In this work, a methodology is developed, based on the application of finite element method in the frequency domain, using the COMSOL Multiphyics software, aiming the sensibility analysis of inductance calculation involving some configurations of an E-core magnetic circuit. Such ... En savoir plus

Visando minimizar os cálculos envolvidos em simulações numéricas de juntas soldadas e diminuir a quantidade de informações necessárias, busca-se fazer simplificações que não tenham influências consideráveis nos resultados. Para o presente trabalho, analisou-se, através do COMSOL ... En savoir plus

Recently, increasing availability of natural gas, due to the shale gas, raises the attention to the conversion of methane. Methanol-to-Hydrocarbons reaction (MTH) plays an important role in this route where methanol synthesized through syngas is converted into hydrocarbons, such as ... En savoir plus

High Voltage Direct Current transmission (HVDC) is a suitable alternative for long distance transmission. During the years, the use of this technology has been increasing, which is one of the several reasons to improve methodologies in HVDC grounding systems. Unlike the usual approach ... En savoir plus

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this work is to verify the effect of Multigrid method on the CPU time for the resolution of the heat transfer model, based on the Finite Element Method (FEM), in order to simulate the laser surface remelting (LSR) of the Al–1.5 wt.% Fe alloy. To accelerate the ... En savoir plus

A Laser-welded blank (LWB) consists of steels of different thicknesses and/or grades welded together to produce a single blank prior to the forming process. LWB are mostly used in the automotive field where the high productivity of the laser welding process is an advantage. Numerical ... En savoir plus

Bionics is the scientific discipline between biology and technology. The aim of bionics is to recognize natural design principles and derive technical solutions. Natural structures have been optimized over generations by evolution. In most cases the minimization of the energy demand is a ... En savoir plus

Introduction The topology optimization method is becoming increasingly popular as a design tool for multiphysics systems [1,2]. Topology optimization of fluid-thermal systems has been presented for example in [3] for forced convective heat transfer and in [4] for natural convection ... En savoir plus
