3D Numerical Simulation of Resistance Sintering for Electrical Contact Applications for Breakers
In circuit breakers, short-circuit breaking involves extreme conditions linked to the presence of an intense electric arc. This requires the use of specific electrical contacts consisting of a contact tip and its support. SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC uses the resistance sintering technique for the ... Read More
Analysis of Contact Stiffness in Hammer to Anvil Collision for Pyroshock Purposes
When dealing with space and aerospace equipment, their ability to withstand the strong excitations produced during the launch must be tested by the manufacturers according to international standards requirements. In fact, structural subsystems of the rockets are commonly released by ... Read More
Analysis of the Stress and Load Distribution of an Assembled Screw Including Threaded Contact
There are different possibilities to simulate a bolted joint. If only the connection of parts in an assembly with the stress distribution and surface pressure between the components without the bolt itself is of interest, the thread of the bolt is omitted and only the effect of bolted ... Read More
Design and Simulation of Bragg Grating Based Optomechanical Sensor for Atomic Force Microscopy
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been widely recognized as an essential tool that enables the imaging of surface, measuring and localizing many different forces and becoming a standard technique for force spectroscopy at the nanoscale. While conventional AFM is well-developed, recent ... Read More
Dynamic Characterization of Elastomeric Rings
Elastomeric elements are currently used as external dampers in many applications to increase the stability of dynamical systems, e.g., rotor-bearings systems. However, the dynamic design of systems embedded with elastomeric dampers is a hard task, since the properties of this kind of ... Read More
Finite Element Analysis of Friction Stir Welding of Al Alloy and Inconel 718
Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining technique that has become increasingly popular and efficient for welding both similar and dissimilar metallic materials. Despite its success in joining dissimilar materials, further development is necessary to meet industry ... Read More
Fully Automated FE-Application
The new FE Toolbox from Lauterbach Verfahrenstechnik GmbH combines precision and user-friendliness in one application. Our tool is tailor-made to reliably achieve a fast and accurate design of various components in pressure vessel design and plant design. With COMSOL Multiphysics we have ... Read More
Heat Transfers and Solid Mechanics in Microarchitectured Materials Using Periodic Homogenization
Microarchitectured materials are generally made of different compounds bound at the microscopic level using a periodic pattern. This results in a macroscopic material with new properties arising from each of the individual compound properties and the way the microarchitecture binds them. ... Read More
Interaction of the Laser with the Material Modelling of the Micro-Lenses Creation
Micro-lenses with potential applications in optics on the surface of the various heavy-metal oxide glasses were created and studied experimentally [1-2]. Laser direct writing using continuous-wave laser emitting at 447 nm was successfully performed [2]. The aim of this study is to ... Read More
Investigation of the Crystalline Lens Inertial Overshooting: Ex Vivo and Simulation Results
For the purpose of investigation the inertial behaviour of the crystalline lens, the COMSOL Multiphysics® software was used to create a 2D multi-physics model of the porcine eye globe, by using the Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI). The geometry of the porcine eye model was adapted from ... Read More
