The paper presents the application of COMSOL Multiphysics® software to the modelling of superconducting accelerator magnets. A 2D magneto-thermal model is developed, using an equivalent magnetization formulation to take into account the eddy-currents’ effects. Due to the model ... En savoir plus
The renewable energy sector faces challenges in production processes due to geo-economic, and environmental issues. This had led to an increased interest in the use of solar energy as an alternative to fossil fuel based energy sources. In the solar energy field, significant research ... En savoir plus
Museum buildings strive for a stable indoor climate to reduce the risk of cultural object degradation. An incorrect temperature or relative humidity can induce or accelerate deterioration processes such as biological, chemical or mechanical degradation. In order to reduce these risks, ...

The subject of the study is a bespoke rainscreen system designed for the Grand Theatre of Rabat, Morocco (Figure 1). The project presents a complex façade geometry and consists of a 1800-seat theater, an open-air amphitheater with a capacity of 7000 people, a rehearsal space and a ... En savoir plus
In this work an innovative wind power generation in urban areas is proposed. The generation system substitutes the roof of the building and it consists of a static part, the stator, and a moving part, called impeller, which is a centripetal turbine with vertical axis of rotation. Since ... En savoir plus
The study of light scattering by optically resonant nanostructures is a field of growing interest as a result of the rapid progress in nanophotonics in the last decade. Contrary to their plasmonic counterparts, high-index dielectric structures exhibit low optical losses and different ... En savoir plus
Currently insulation has been and will in future be applied to many buildings. This proves to be a challenge for monumental or old buildings. Mostly insulation has to be applied at the interior side of a building. That is why hygro-thermal bridges are inevitable. A wooden beam end beared ... En savoir plus
Soft robotics is an emerging research field that is rapidly expanding as soft robots are adaptable, reliable, and intrinsically safe. While the behavior of robots composed of rigid links, joints, and actuators can be easily described with classical mechanics modeling methods, modeling ... En savoir plus
Moisture can cause serious damages in different building components therefore the heat and moisture calculation in building constructions are important tasks. In the current paper, two different multi-layered walls, mainly consisted of wooden materials and mineral wool, are analyzed. ... En savoir plus
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 ... En savoir plus
