The buzzing sound you sometimes hear when walking past high-voltage transmission lines is caused by transformers used for regulating voltage levels. Standard performance and safety regulations require that the noise level be kept within a certain range. In this story, read about how a ... Mehr lesen
Engineers at Newtecnic specialize in complex building design, working with bold and fluid architectural shapes. To meet the requirements for performance targets and structural integrity in these buildings, Newtecnic must evaluate the mechanical and thermal properties of the different ... Mehr lesen
The test strips in glucose monitors, widely used by people with diabetes to maintain good health, are sensitive to chemical interferences and environmental conditions. The manufacturing process and electrode configuration of these strips also affects response accuracy. Researchers at ... Mehr lesen
The advantages of anisotropic properties in 3D printing materials have been difficult to exploit for product design, limited by material manufacturing and production methods. However, additive manufacturing is opening doors to material fabrication, allowing engineers to virtually design ... Mehr lesen
3D printing has recently revolutionized manufacturing techniques, influencing countless industries and products. The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC), in Coventry, UK, is optimizing the 3D metal printing technique called shaped metal deposition (SMD) for industrial use. Unlike ... Mehr lesen
Galvanic corrosion, which occurs when the surfaces of different adjoining metals begin to degrade, costs the automotive industry billions of dollars annually. The reactions of these different metal combinations is influenced by material properties, surface roughness, and joining ... Mehr lesen
Pyrolysis is a pre-commercial thermochemical process that converts renewable, plant-based materials such as wood into liquid biofuels. To make pyrolysis a cost-effective method for biofuel conversion, researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) are using multiphysics ... Mehr lesen
We rely on capacitive touchscreens whenever we interact with a smartphone, MP3 device, or car video screen. Touchscreen designs vary by application, so each stack-up (a touchscreen component) is customized for the intended environment. Engineers at Cypress Semiconductor used COMSOL ... Mehr lesen
At the Fiat Research Center in Italy, Michele Gosso and Antonio Fiumara are working on the development of providing power for electric and hybrid vehicles. The team must combine individual lithium-ion battery pouch cells into battery packs to generate the 350V needed, while providing the ... Mehr lesen
Corrosion is a widespread concern costing the US billions of dollars annually. For the Navy, specifically, it is the number one maintenance problem. Therefore, at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), researchers are developing a method based on multiphysics simulation that will aid ... Mehr lesen
