Space is the epitome of an unpredictable and harsh environment. These conditions are near impossible to replicate via experimentation, making it exceedingly difficult to study the behavior of space-borne devices. To circumvent this issue, numerical simulation is often employed to ... Per saperne di più
When a component is as ubiquitous as a capacitor, its design process needs to allow for a lot of customization. This is because their large variety of applications, ranging from fighter jets and radar to wind turbines and solar energy, can entail distinct and demanding requirements. ... Per saperne di più
In the automobile industry, the only thing faster than the cars that are produced is their design cycle. Validation and physical prototyping can be expensive and time consuming, but getting as close as possible to a final design before transitioning from virtual prototyping can speed up ...

The production of puffed rice, like many other types of food, is incredibly complicated and involves multiple interconnected types of physics: mass transport, phase transitions, and plastic deformation. Professor Ashim Datta of Cornell University is leading a team to simulate the puffing ... Per saperne di più
Lithium-ion batteries, which have a tendency to degrade at high temperatures, must adhere to stringent regulations guaranteeing their ability to withstand operating temperature fluctuations. Researchers at NEXT ENERGY used heat transfer modeling to study whether high welding temperatures ... Per saperne di più
In an environment as highly regulated and potentially dangerous as the nuclear industry, software quality assurance (SQA) compliance standards are rigorous. Part of the compliance process entails verification that local software installations perform as the developer intended. At Oak ... Per saperne di più
Nearly 20% of the United States population has some degree of hearing impairment. Despite the relative inconspicuousness and perceived simplicity of hearing aids, their development involves complex, time-consuming, and computationally expensive research. The hearing aid industry is in ... Per saperne di più
Electrostatic transducers offer enhanced clarity, less distortion, and a wider bandwidth than transducers in conventional dynamic-driver headphones, but they are only seen as high-end alternatives. The precise manufacturing requirements make electrostatic transducers prohibitively ... Per saperne di più
Researchers at Duke University are using numerical modeling to develop metamaterial structures for acoustic cloaking. Steve Cummer, professor of electrical and computer engineering, explained that the acoustic metamaterial designs are optimized through numerical simulations, which are ... Per saperne di più
As the demand for lightweight and flexible electronics continues to increase, so does the demand for lightweight and flexible light sources. Organic LEDs (OLEDs) have garnered tremendous interest because of their inherent elasticity, but suffer from a lack of brightness and efficiency. ... Per saperne di più
