Individual batteries have their own operational temperature ranges, which shall be respected to avoid both damaging of the cells and shortening of the cycle life. In terms of the Li-Ion cells, many of them do not function well at higher temperatures. Therefore, a better understanding of ... En savoir plus

Vacuum infusion processes are well adapted for large composites parts and, therefore, widely used for the manufacturing purposes in several applications fields such as aviation or naval industry. Simply speaking single plies or a given fibrous reinforcement is pre-shaped and positioned ... En savoir plus

Knee joints are often subject to high loads, which can lead to injury, malalignment, and the progression of osteoarthritis in patients. To better understand the behavior, and the effect of meniscal damage and different meniscectomy repair approaches, a 3D structural mechanics model of a ... En savoir plus

Flash floods are sudden and mostly destructive rushes of water down narrow gullies or over sloping surfaces. They are mostly caused by heavy rainfall in the upstream watershed. They may also appear as result of catastrophic events as dam or levee breaks, or mudslides or debris flow. ... En savoir plus

Studies of poroelastic systems increasingly utilize numerical modeling. Especially for geotechnical applications models are set up as a tool to understand phenomena in porous media that deform due to changes of the hydraulic regime, or in which the flow field is affected by changes of ...

A new electrochemical polishing facility will be built at CERN to process copper radiofrequency structures and this in the framework of the Future Circular Collider study. This polishing installation will be designed and assembled so that the necessary working conditions to achieve the ... En savoir plus

Using a 1-D model of polymer displacement, we analyze the exergy (maximum attainable work) balance of viscosified water, e.g. with Arabic gum. The 1-D model shows the principle how such an analysis can be done. A comparison as to the displacement efficiency is made between three ... En savoir plus

For the complex 3D biocompatible metallic parts, with high level of customization, used in medical prosthesis and implants Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) and Selective Laser Melting (SLM) are the most common Additive Manufacturing technologies used nowadays. However, both ... En savoir plus
