When acoustic applications include small geometries, i.e. mm/submillimeter range, so-called thermoviscous effects can greatly affect the pressure response. This paper deals with acoustic topology optimization of such miniature structures with thermoviscous effects taken into account. ... En savoir plus

This paper summarizes the main features of the on-interposer micro-thermoelectric sensors (hereafter denoted by µTES) derived by means of simulations done with COMSOL Multiphysics® software. µTES are thermal sensors based on the Seebeck effect which converts thermal flow into electrical ...

Finite element based modeling is one of the most powerful computational tools currently available. Amongst others a possible drawback could be the computation duration time, that can be expected at transient nonlinear problems, or at more simple problems with a large time span. One of ...

The knowledge of the behavior of electric arcs between plane electrodes is in high interest due to their presence in industrial applications such as low voltage circuit breakers. In this contribution, numerical simulations of an electric arc displacement due to electro-magnetic forces ... En savoir plus

Within the emerging integrative concept of IoT (Internet of Things) and IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) that are paving the way towards Digital Manufacturing Technologies and the next paradigm shift of Industry 4.0, R&D Laboratories have to be at the forefront of the ... En savoir plus

The diffusion of underactuated compliant hands is growing in the robotic community due to their robustness, adaptability, capability of exploiting environmental constraints while performing a task, availability and low cost. In particular the interaction with the environment and the ... En savoir plus

Greenhouses need heating supply most of the time of a year. Their heating demands are high and economical heating systems are very important for this kind of facilities. Horizontal ground source heat pump systems are getting more interest last years for being easy to apply and low ... En savoir plus

Signaling and telecommunication cables are shielded multipair twisted cables that lie along the railway and transfer railway information at low frequency (some kilohertz). Due to the electromagnetic disturbance of the railway environment, coming from high voltage conductors such as the ... En savoir plus

Seismic evaluation of existing dams is a major issue that has been even more highlighted by the recent events in Italy. In this regard, researchers and engineers need a reliable and quick tool to assess the complex behaviour of the structure – fluid – soil system. In this paper the soil ... En savoir plus

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
