Our group developed an experimental millimetric capsule intended to release chemicals or drugs. The delivery mechanism of such device relies on the thermal expansion of carbon-elastomer composites which deform upon irradiation of light supplied by a Laser diode through an optical fiber. ...

In this work we report on an investigation of the effect of the magnetic particles size on the effective macroscopic behavior of magnetorheological elastomers (MREs). MREs are a class of smart materials known for their tunable deformation. They are composite materials which consist of ... En savoir plus
Cilia are slender micro-organelles (200 nm diameter, 10 µm long) that generate propagating waves to propel cells or move fluid. The cytoskeletal structure of the cilium (the axoneme) consists of 9 outer microtubule doublets and 2 central microtubule singlets. Outer doublets are connected ... En savoir plus
COMSOL® models of basal body deformation using the Beam Interface are compared to electron tomograms of Tetrahymena thermophila basal bodies high-pressure frozen while undergoing beating deformation. This approach provides insight into the nanoscale structures and internal forces ... En savoir plus
This paper examines and develops a method for calculating the probability of structural failure by using Monte Carlo simulation and combining it with a neural network approach. In order to assess the validity of this method, a simple concrete beam model with a corrosion crack is built ... En savoir plus
COMSOL Multiphysics® is being utilized to develop Thermal Model for Wire Directed Energy Deposition Additive Manufacturing (Wire-DED) process with an objective to analyse the heat transfer phenomenon during and after the process. Wire-DED process’s growing industrial acceptance at a very ... En savoir plus
Bread dough is often described as a dispersion of gas cells in a continuous gluten/starch matrix [1]. The final bread crumb structure is strongly related to gas cell walls (GCWs) rupture during baking. At the end of the proofing and during baking, part of the thinnest GCWs between ... En savoir plus
Powertrain mounting systems are subjected to varying degrees of continuous dynamic loads resulting into unbalance of forces at their mount locations. These forces contribute significantly towards noise, vibration and harshness signatures in the vehicle cabin and has strong negative ... En savoir plus
COMSOL®, like other finite element analysis software, enables analysis of an object of given geometry, material properties, boundary conditions, and loading. In this paper, we present a synthesis module for a class of structures called shallow bistable arches. Bistable arches have two ... En savoir plus
Optimal design and development of a machine tool structures have great influence on the precision of the machine tool's operations. The present work involves the design optimization of cast iron made CNC Spindle head for minimum overall compliance and the minimum weight of structural ... En savoir plus
