Vortex machining is a unique localized material removal process in which footprints of several nanometer in depth are obtained. It employs a resonating quartz tuning fo[...]

The use of biomaterials as drug delivery systems (DDS) eliminates the adverse side effects of systemic drug administration. Silica-based bioceramics have been widely stud[...]

In this work, the predictive capabilities of Flash Thermography, a non-destructive testing method, in detecting the presence of defects in metallic parts are investigated[...]

Roadside barriers are important safety devices installed on highways to mitigate the severity of injuries caused by crashes of errant vehicles. The two-bar metal bridge [...]

Renewable forms of energy are being intensively pursued and investigated in systems connected to the grid as well as in standalone applications. The global energy generat[...]

Modeling machining processes with conventional finite element methods (FEM) is challenging due to the severe deformations that occur during machining, complex frictional [...]

In this work, a new machining model using the commercial finite element software ABAQUS is developed. The model regards material separation, chip serration and breakage a[...]

In the past decades metallic foams have been increasingly used as filler materials in crashworthiness applications due to their relatively low cost and high capacity of e[...]

Evaluating the structural integrity of curtain walls during the life cycle of a building project can assist architects in developing better designs, inform manufacturers [...]
