Mobile robotics is an active research area, which is rapidly advancing thanks to a variety of technological developments in hardware and sensors. The operating environment and the tasks it must carry out are the main factors influencing the design of a climbing robot for industrial ... En savoir plus

Magnetic Suspension and Balance Systems (MSBS) are a method of levitating an aerodynamic model in a wind tunnel. An unusual characteristic is that the electromagnet assemblies (outside the wind tunnel) are very large, but the levitated object (a permanent magnet core) is quite small and ... En savoir plus

Resistance-sintering can be used in a powder metallurgy process as the heating step to consolidate a metallic compact previously obtained by pressing a powder-alloy. This fast-sintering process consolidates electrically conductive powders by simultaneous application of pressure and ... En savoir plus

Magnetic Barkhausen noise (MBN) is an emerging field in non-destructive testing, which utilizes the electromagnetic signals generated by small abrupt changes in magnetic field in a sample undergoing magnetization by an applied external magnetic field. These small ... En savoir plus

In FTTH, optical fibers are frequently bent at the corners of the walls causing the propagating light in the fiber to radiate away which results in transmission losses and limits reach of the fiber network. A large number of studies have been reported in the literature to compute bend ... En savoir plus

This paper presents an analysis approach of multicondcutor quasi-TEM lines transmission interconnect in a single dielectric region and multimode waveguides using the finite element method (FEM). FEM is especially suitable and effective for the computation of electromagnetic fields in ... En savoir plus

Eddy current testing (ECT) is widely used to check the integrity of electrically conducting parts and notably to detect flaws. It is based on the interaction between a probe and the part under testing. The finite element method (FEM) is well fitted to the modelling of these kinds of ... En savoir plus

COMSOL is finite element modeling software capable of solving partial differential equations. This capability allows for the modeling of boundary value problems, which is necessary to the study of light and the properties of light propagation. For this study, we are modeling Fraunhofer ...

A microwave heating model coupled with heat, mass, and momentum transfer is needed to fully understand the microwave heating process. In this study a comprehensive 3D model was developed for studying the interaction of microwave with the food. The model includes physics of Maxwell’s ... En savoir plus

Cancer causes significant human deaths. Radiofrequency ablation is an encouraging procedure for cancer treatment. The objective is to demonstrate the multiphysics simulation methodology. This paper summarizes the problem , governing equations, methodology, assumptions, simulation results ... En savoir plus
