Binder jet printing (BJP) is one of the additive manufacturing methods that are being widely implemented as an efficient alternative for casting and machining in the automotive industry. Sintering densification of the as-printed part (green part) adds uncertainty and possible undesirable ... En savoir plus

Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) can be used to create topologically complex designs that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to produce using traditional methods. However, non-destructive inspection and testing of these structures is made difficult by the presence of internal or ... En savoir plus

To investigate the thermal-mechanical behavior of oceanic transform faults, we calculate 3-D steady-state incompressible mantle flow and heat transport using COMSOL Multiphysics. Our model incorporates a nonlinear viscous rheology with a visco-plastic approximation to simulate ... En savoir plus

高分子囊泡是一类由薄膜包裹液体而形成的“软粒子”，其在生物医药、化妆品以及食品等领域具有广泛的应用，是材料领域最富有意义的研究内容之一。与一般微纳米粒子相比，高分子囊泡在外场作用下极易发生形变，因而研究高分子囊泡在微流道中穿过受限孔洞的动力学行为对其在药物输运、细胞筛选、薄膜性能表征等应用领域具有重要的意义。 由于流体（高分子囊泡内部和外部流体）和固体（高分子囊泡膜）强烈地耦合在一起，再加上流体与膜边界的移动和变形，使得高分子囊泡实际的过孔图像十分复杂。本工作借助COMSOL Multiphysics流固耦合（FSIs）接口，运用任意拉格朗日-欧拉（ALE）算法 ...
