Electrochemomechanical Simulations of 3D-Resolved Solid-State Lithium-Ion Battery Cells

Giulia Blanco1, Matteo Alberghini1, Andrea Bertinetti1, Alessio Tommasi1
1Gemmate Technologies, Turin, Italy

Solid-state batteries have emerged as a viable alternative to traditional liquid-based lithium-ion batteries, offering improved cost efficiency, safety, and environmental impact. Chlorine-rich lithium argyrodite (Li6PS5Cl) has emerged as a promising solid-state electrolyte, presenting ... Read More

Copper Corrosion Mechanisms by Simulation and Experiment Using Small Test Structures

Hasan Sadat Nabi1, M. Mayr2
1Infineon, Regensburg
2TU Wien

Product lifetime prediction is a crucial task in microelectronics design and fabrication. Understanding of the underlying processes causing material degradation and product failure is essential for establishing accurate lifetime models. This work aims to investigate and model the ... Read More

Propagation of Gain Surface Plasmon Polaritons in AB-Stacked Bilayered Graphene

Zoya Eremenko1
1Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research, Dresden, Germany.

Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are electromagnetic waves that travel along a metal–dielectric or metal–air interface, practically in the infrared or visible-frequency. The term "surface plasmon polariton" explains that the wave involves both charge motion in the metal ("surface ... Read More

Modeling the Indoor Removal of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) by Botanical Biofiltration

Allan A. Alvarado-Alvarado1, S. Denys1
1Sustainable Energy, Air and Water Technology Research Group (DuEL), Department of Bioscience Engineering, University of Antwerp, Antwerp, Belgium

Historically, indoor air quality (IAQ) has received less attention than outdoors, although people spend >90% of their time in the indoor environment. A major group of indoor air pollutants is volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are detrimental to human health even at low ... Read More

Numerical Simulation of the Laser Cutting Process for Dismantling

R. Meillour1, M. Courtois2, M. Carin2, I. Doyen1, C. Nahed1
1CEA
2IRDL

Laser cutting process is usually employed in machining process, however it is also applied for dismantling nuclear facilities. Contrary to mechanical processes where tools wear out quickly and are often renewed, laser cutting process is a contactless approach, therefore there is no ... Read More

Simulating Condensate Layers on Thermal Bridges in Train Walls

Felix Lüönd1, Thomas Graf1, Marc Achermann1
1Lucerne University of Applied Sciences

Using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software with the Heat Transfer Module, we calculated coupled heat and moisture transport to simulate the amount and distribution of condensed moisture in a train wall, with a special focus on the surface of thermal bridges. We tested two approaches to ... Read More

Investigations on Talik Formation During Changes to Cold Climates

K.-P. Kröhn1
1GRS gGmbH, Braunscheig, Germany

Over the past million years, several cold ages have occurred and thereby caused perma-frost conditions basically all over the present area of Germany. Since in Germany the safe-ty of a nuclear waste repository legally needs to be investigated for a period of one million years, the ground ... Read More

Simplified Two-Stage Electrostatic Precipitator for Particulate Matter Removal

Donja Baetens1
1Department of Bioscience Engineering, University of Antwerp, Antwerp, Belgium

Europeans spend between 80% to 90% of their time indoors, for example at home, school, office, and other public buildings. Besides, due to energy-saving measures in buildings, natural ventilation is reduced leading to the accumulation of indoor air pollutants. Consequently, indoor air ... Read More

Multiphysical Study of Copper Laser Welding Process Stability Using the COMSOL® Application Builder

J. Daligault1, M. Dal1, M. Sawannia 2, C. Hagenlocher2, R. Weber2, S. Touzouirt1
1PIMM Laboratory, Arts et Métiers Institute of Technology (Paris), CNRS, CNAM, HESAM University, 151 Boulevard de l’Hôpital, 75013 Paris, France
2Institut für Strahlwerkzeuge (IFSW), University of Stuttgart, Pfaffenwaldring 43, 70569 Stuttgart, Germany

A numerical model of laser welding process applied on highly optically reflective and thermally conductive materials such as copper has been developped. The latter considers multiphysical couplings of CFD, heat transfers and phase-field representation to account for topological ... Read More

Optimal Design of Baking Plates for an Inductive Wafer Baking Oven

Johannes Steinbach1, Lukas Jadachowski2, Andreas Kugi3, Andreas Steinboeck2
1Automation and Control Institute, TU Wien, Vienna, Austria
2Automation and Control Institute, TU Wien, Vienna, Austria, Christian Doppler Laboratory for Intelligent Process Control for High-Quality Steel Products, Automation and Control Institute, TU Wien, Vienna, Austria
3Automation and Control Institute, TU Wien, Vienna, Austria, Center for Vision, Automation & Control, Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT), Vienna, Austria

Baking is a central production step in the industrial production of edible wafers and waffles. The initially liquid batter is heated with a pair of metallic baking plates. Establishing a uniform and accurate temperature at the baking face (inner baking plate surface) is crucial for ... Read More
