Nitinol self-expanding stents are most commonly used to widen the passage of a restricted blood vessel. Unlike balloon-expandable stents, nitinol allows the stent to recover large strains caused by mechanical stresses due to its superelasticity. Self-expanding stents are first crimped to ...

Selective Laser Melting (SLM), like many other additive manufacturing techniques, offers flexibility in design expected to become a disruption to the manufacturing industry. The current cost of SLM process does not favor a try-and-error way of research; which gives more room for ... En savoir plus

Abstract The standard diamond-shaped mesh spacers commonly used in spiral wound membrane elements results in non-ideal hydrodynamics that can lead to fouling, which ultimately reduces the flux of water through the membrane and the operational life of the unit. To address this ... En savoir plus

Research <em>in vitro</em> and in small animals has shown electric fields (EFs) induce directional migration in stem cells along an electrical potential gradient, a process known as cell electrotaxis, or cell galvanotaxis1,2. We built a first-pass COMSOL model to identify ... En savoir plus

Abstract: Line resolution, uniformity and focusing are the three (3) most important factors in the use of electron-beam lithography to form either high resolution masks or direct-write device etch patterns. This paper will present the observations and analyses made from a group of COMSOL ... En savoir plus

Background: TTFields are being investigated for treatment of brain metastasis. Although vasogenic edema is the most common type of associated cerebral edema, other forms of edema might arise within the brain due to prior treatment or other confounding effects. Therefore, we seek to ... En savoir plus

Superconducting RF cavities are broadly employed for charged particle accelerators nowadays and usually cooled down to 2K by liquid helium to become superconducting. A cryoplant with trained personnel is required to provide liquid helium for cooling which makes usage of SRF technology ... En savoir plus

Heat waste harvesting with thermoelectric systems is a clean, environmentally friendly energy producing option among several methods currently considered. The present study investigates the ability of COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation software to develop models that generate data in good ... En savoir plus
