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
Multiphysics Modeling Results for the High Flux Isotope Reactor to Support its LEU Conversion
Ongoing engineering design studies at Oak Ridge National Laboratory are exploring the feasibility of converting the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) from highly enriched uranium (HEU) to low-enriched uranium (LEU) fuel. HFIR is a pressurized light water-cooled and moderated research ... Read More
Prediction of Douglas-Fir Sawn Timber Strength based on X-ray Computed Tomography and FEA
Due to climate change impacts and the worsening growth conditions of Norway spruce (Picea abies) the species composition of European forests is being diversified, incorporating more hardwoods as well as drought-resistant softwood species, such as Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii). As a ... Read More
Modelling of Thermal Stress in Yb:YAG to Quantify Depolarisation in a Nanosecond 10 J, 100 Hz Laser
The high heat loads intrinsically associated with high-energy, high repetition rate laser systems require sophisticated thermal management analyses to minimise the impact of thermal effects on optical performance. Non-uniform heat deposition in optical elements can lead to the onset of ... Read More
Modeling and Multiphysics Simulation of the Directed Energy Deposition Additive Manufacturing
In this paper, we present a study of the simulation of Directed Energy Deposition (DED) Additive Manufacturing (AM) using a multiphysics approach. We use a combination of Heat Transfer in Fluids, Solid Mechanics and Laminar Flow physics to accurately simulate the DED process. The ... Read More
Radiation Damage in a Power Dump
In applications like nuclear reactors or particle accelerators, mechanical components near a source of radiation develop radiation damage. This typically means a change in tensile properties and fracture toughness, which depends on the radiation dose (commonly measured in ‘displacements ... Read More
Wire Bonding: A Thorough Numerical Methodology
The semiconductor industry is always looking for early anticipation of manufacturing risk, pushing the development of Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) modeling of processes. Robust Chip-Package Interaction requires a deep understanding of thermo-mechanical stresses imposed during the ... Read More
Simulation Based Design of a Bladeless Centrifugal Flow Compressor
The bladeless centripetal flow turbomachinery or disc turbine was invented by Nikola Tesla with the aim to realize a turbine with higher efficiency and simplicity compared to the state of the art at that time. Unlike conventional turbines, the disc turbine does not use rotor blades. ... Read More
Two-Scale Modeling Of The WAAM Process: Link Between Thermo-Hydrodynamics And Mechanics
Simulation of arc-wire additive manufacturing is under development in many academic and industrial sectors and at different scales. The study at the melt pool scale is often interesting to study deposition shapes and defects but not very relevant to calculate the stresses and strains at ... Read More
Stress Analysis of Flexible Glass in a Large Deformation Test Setup
Ultra-thin flexible glass with thicknesses of 100 µm or below is bendable and has superior surface properties (Figure 1). The current use in foldable displays of mobile devices gives an idea of the range of possible applications [1]. However, it requires dedicated handling and processing ... Read More
