The modelling of the optical and thermal response of translucent composite materials submitted to a high-energy laser irradiation is very complex, as glass fibers-reinforced polymers are highly heat-sensitive and their physical behavior dramatically changes at high temperatures. All ... Read More
Angular contact ball bearings (ACBB) are rolling bearings designed to support both axial and radial loads. The rolling elements (balls in this case) significantly decrease the power losses associated with rotating load bearing by replacing sliding with rolling. However, both the specific ... Read More
The activity focuses on improving the overall performance and design of a small-sized heat exchanger. This heat exchanger is designed to raise the temperature of a fluid (water), using tubular electric heaters. The device consists of a steel case with two hydraulic connections for fluid ... Read More
The Yellowstone Volcanic Complex (YVC) in Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming, USA) attracts intense geological interest, as it ranks as one of the largest active continental silicic volcanic fields worldwide. Despite extensive research on the region's high heat flow and abundant ... Read More
Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is one of the most beneficial manufacturing methods for its precision and ability to create parts with complex geometry, although high thermal gradient due to the considerable temperature difference between ambient and peak temperature appeared during laser ...

In the development of advanced welding torches, a significant challenge lies in optimizing design and performance while minimizing costs and environmental impact. Traditionally, this has involved extensive physical testing, which is both time-consuming and resource-intensive. To address ... Read More
Present work is done in the framework of the SisAl Pilot EU project, which aims at optimising the silicon production in Europe by recycling materials and using a carbon-emission friendly technology. The silicon production experiments are conducted on laboratory and pilot scales in ... Read More
This work reports the application of topology optimization for the design of two types of metallic antennas that are very different from each other: a leaky-wave antenna (LWA) radiating at broadside, and an epidermal patch antenna, optimized to favor radiation coupling into the human ... Read More
FT wind sensors measure wind speed and direction using an acoustic field superimposed on a flow field in an acoustic resonator equipped with three piezoelectric transducers. The study proposed here focuses on the acoustic resonance technology of a simplified wind sensor geometry, and how ... Read More
Mine hoists are significant capital investments, so their efficient, safe, and reliable operation are of vital importance to mining companies. ABB delivers numerous drum hoisting systems to underground mines in China, South Africa, as well as to Poland. ABB mine hoists are one of the ... Read More
