Design Analysis of a Shape Memory Alloy Bias-Spring Linear Actuator

Yves Perriard, Morgan Almanza, Sean Thomas

This paper aims to adapt the well established Brinson model for the thermoelastic behaviour of the Shape Memory Effect (SME) so as to compare it to a custom shape memory material modelled using an finite element modelling software. In this work, the Brinso ...

Adjoint-based Optimization for Diffractive Beam-Splitters

Toralf Scharf, Dong Cheon Kim

Computational optimization of diffractive elements is often limited by a large number of design parameters. Adjoint method allows the gradient of target function respect to all design variables to be calculated with only two electromagnetic simulations. We ...

Assessing the Effect of Calcite Impurities in Clay on Optimal Dehydroxylation Parameters for Enhanced Reactivity

Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva

This study focused on understanding the influence of different amounts of calcite impurities (0 to 10% by mass) on the optimal parameters for clay dehydroxylation and the reactivity of the final calcined clay. A surface response experimental design was use ...

Shape constrained splines as transparent black-box models for bioprocess modeling

Dominique Bonvin, Julien Léo Billeter, Sriniketh Srinivasan

Empirical model identification for biological systems is a challenging task due to the combined effects of complex interactions, nonlinear effects, and lack of specific measurements. In this context, several researchers have provided tools for experimental ...
