Damage models can be used to simulate the quasi-brittle behaviour of cementitious materials, since they can represent cracking in a smeared-way under various loading conditions. COMSOL Multiphysics® developed a functionality to access external material models for structural mechanics in ... En savoir plus

Presented work is motivated by pre-realization phase of rock heating experiment in underground, testing properties for cyclic energy storage. Heating unit, installed in large borehole from end of a tunnel, is fixed to the rock face with the geo-polymer. Rest of the borehole is filled ... En savoir plus

Current and emerging energy storage devices need to be enhanced to cope with the energy and power density requirements of different applications. Electrochemical models are helpful tools for the development and redesign of existing Li-ion batteries as well as to support more innovative ... En savoir plus

In a pumping test the drawdown of the water table in a piezometer is recorded, as response to pumping from a nearby well. Pumping tests belong into the common toolbox of hydro-geologists, used to obtain basic parameters for aquifer characterization. There are various approaches to ... En savoir plus

Design of latent heat energy storage systems (LHESS) requires knowledge of heat transfer processes within them, as well as the phase change behavior of the phase change material (PCM) use. COMSOL Multiphysics can be used to model (LHESS). Natural convection plays a crucial role during ... En savoir plus

锂离子电池的充电性能受环境温度影响较大，低温条件下充电极化电压升高充电容量下降的问题一直限制了锂离子电池的发展。本文以电化学反应动力学、质量守恒、电荷守恒和能量守恒为理论基础，利用COMSOL软件建立基于LiFePO4/石墨锂离子电池的电化学-热耦合瞬态计算模型，研究了-5℃、-10℃、-15℃三个低温条件下，锂离子电池充电过程中端电压和正极液相扩散极化电压随SOC的变化规律，并进一步通过提出表征这种极化的变量Pdpe，定量分析了低温条件对正极液相扩散极化的影响，最后通过电解质盐浓度和电解质电流密度分析极化变化的原因 ... En savoir plus

Disposal in deep clay geological formations is one of the promising options for disposal of high-level radioactive waste. Yet, they can generate considerable amounts of heat as a side effect of radioactive decay. This paper shows how COMSOL Multiphysics has been used to evaluate the ... 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
