In our project, we propose an innovative software solution to the problem of electrical arcing risk prediction in high-voltage on-board electronic equipment intended for long-term self-contained use, e.g. in spacecraft conditions. It completely based on so-called “decomposition” approach ... En savoir plus
MEMS resonators have been recently adopted in a wide variety of timing, sensing, and actuation applications. The ability to control the dynamics of resonance, namely the resonance frequency and quality factor of these resonators is crucial in achieving high precision performance within ... En savoir plus
The induction heating coils used in the plutonium casting furnaces at the Los Alamos National Laboratory are studied here. A cylindrical graphite test article has been built, instrumented with thermocouples, and heated in the induction coil that is normally used to preheat the molds ... En savoir plus
Superparamagnetic micro beads offer some attractive applications in biological and biomedical fields. Some of the important applications include manipulation and separation of cells, isolation of specific cells, active drug delivery, magnetic cell separation, separation of proteins, and ...

We have developed a model for computing current and field distributions in multifilamentary superconducting thin films subjected to the simultaneous effects of transport ac current and applied dc field perpendicular to the sample. The model is implemented in COMSOL’s PDE module (general ... En savoir plus
Utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) generation facilities are located in desert environments throughout the world to take advantage of the high availability of sunlight in these areas. Unfortunately, naturally occurring sandstorms in these deserts often ... En savoir plus
The recently developed technique Scanning Tunneling Microscopy in the Field Emission regime (STM FE) is based on the Russell Young's topografiner technology. The set-up is a no contacting device consisting of a sharp tip approached vertically to a conducting surface at variable distances ... En savoir plus
Transient eddy current (TEC) technique is being developed for detection of flaws located at depth within multilayer aluminum structures. The present work involves finite element modeling using COMSOL Multiphysics software to simulate different types of probes by changing some of these ... En savoir plus
The self heating process of Tetrafluoroethylene caused by an exothermic dimerization reaction was studied. The heat of reaction can lead to a thermal explosion by the decomposition of the Tetrafluoroethylene. Different reaction kinetics, including multistep kinetics, were used to ... En savoir plus
Damping is the liminting factor for the reachable maximum deflection. Thus, it is a very important issue for resonant microsystems. In this paper, we present a damping model for out-of-plane comb driven resonant micromirrors. The basic concept of this model is to attribute viscous ... En savoir plus
