Peristaltic pumps are used during pharmaceutical manufacturing processes, for filling, filtration and mixing operations. Goal of this work was to develop a computational model of a peristaltic pump used for filling operations, to predict shear stresses and mass flow rates. For this ... En savoir plus
Interfaces (e.g. contacting surfaces) and interphases (e.g. material thin layers) between solids are preferential zones of damage initiation and propagation. Modeling the microcracking phenomenon localized at the interfaces and interphases becomes crucial in many engineering applications ... En savoir plus
The study of low energy electrons (0-300 eV) and especially secondary electrons (typically < 50 eV) are of technical importance in many areas such as Scanning Electron Microscopes [1], spacecraft charging [2], the electron cloud effect in particle accelerators [3] and in radiological ...

The calibration of groundwater models is usually limited by the scarcity of direct hydraulic data. The estimation of heterogeneous distribution of hydraulic properties can be improved through a joint or coupled inversion in which the calibration dataset is complemented with geophysical ...

Four-point probe resistance measurements on the microscale can induce significant localized heating which can be a source of measurement error, or an opportunity to measure thermal properties of materials. The amplitude and phase delay of the temperature affect micro four-point probe ... En savoir plus
Wooden sculptures are an important part of European cultural heritage, but they are also among the most vulnerable objects to variations of temperature and relative humidity (RH). Fluctuations in the ambient environment can lead to irreversible structural and aesthetical damage. The ... En savoir plus
The mechanical characterization of certain cell types is important to obtain physiological insights. For instance, tumor and normal cells can be distinguished by elasticity, indicated by the amount of deformation under given stress. Simulations help to understand, verify and improve the ...

Corona discharge in atmospheric-pressure air has been the subject of a vast number of theoretical studies for many years. However, a theoretical description of gas breakdown development still has some difficulties due to both a wide range of initial conditions, under which gas breakdown ... En savoir plus
As part of the European Research Roadmap to the Realization of Fusion Energy [1], the Divertor Tokamak Test facility (DTT) [2] aims to study alternative divertor configurations in view of the EU-DEMO [3] power exhaust handling issues. The DTT superconducting magnet system comprises 18 ... En savoir plus
