The vestibular systems are very important to balance of body. But some people have vertigo and dizziness caused by vestibular disorder. It is well known how the symptom appears physiologically. The benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) which comes from moving an otolith in ... En savoir plus

In recent years, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) has played a key role in the characterisation of surface structures and materials at the microscopic level. One of the most important aspects of AFM image analysis is the reliable provision of pore size and cross-linking rate data. AFM uses ... En savoir plus

During the hot extrusion process, a cylindrical pre-heated billet is inserted into a container and is forced by a hydraulic press to flow through a shaped die in order to obtain, as final product, a profile with a constant cross-section (Fig.1). Aluminum extrudates have become prominent ... En savoir plus

Fluidized Catalytic Cracking (FCC) regenerators utilize a fluidized bed to facilitate catalyst regeneration. Cyclones are used to separate the catalyst from the gas stream and return the catalyst to the fluidized bed; as the gas progresses through the system for further processing. This ... En savoir plus

A novel injection molding tool temperature control system based on heat pipes is being researched at the Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HSBI). This temperature control technology offers great potential for improving product quality and saving energy in the production ... En savoir plus

The Geoenvironmental Engineering Group of the University of Castilla-La Mancha is developing a computational tool, M4B, for describing the influence of environmental loads on the deformation behavior of soils and its interaction with building foundations. This tool comprises a set of ... En savoir plus

Laser-based powder bed fusion (LPBF) is a promising additive manufacturing technology, where metallic parts are produced in a layer-wise manner. At each step, a rapid-moving laser irradiates and subsequently melts predefined zones of a relatively thin layer of fine spherical metal ... En savoir plus

Metal reed valves are used for flow rectification in electrohydraulic pumps driven by smart materials at high frequencies but it is difficult to predict their behavior when the surrounding fluid has considerable inertia and viscosity. Simulation of this phenomenon involves modeling the ... En savoir plus

: One of the most commonly used techniques for quantification of beating forces exerted by cardiomyocytes is culturing them on a bed of vertical microcantilevers or microposts. The position of the microcantilevers is observed through advanced imaging techniques and the displacements are ... En savoir plus

Topology optimization of conjugate heat transfer problems is an relatively intricate problem due to the coupled nature of Navier-Stokes equation, continuity equation and energy equation. In any density based topology optimization code, the major parts are finite element analysis, ... En savoir plus
