Review of hybrid composites fatigue
Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Dharun Vadugappatty Srinivasan
Hybrid composites become popular and are today used in a large number of contemporary structural applications. When compared to non-hybrid composites, hybridization offers additional benefits since the mixing of cheaper, low-quality fibers, with more expen ...
2021Optimal Thrust Vector Control of an Electric Small-Scale Rocket Prototype
Colin Neil Jones, Roland Schwan, Petr Listov
Recent advances in Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithms and methodologies, combined with the surge of computational power of available embedded platforms, allows the use of real-time optimization-based control of fast mechatronic systems. This paper p ...
2021Modeling and experimentation of conductive and radiative transfer through heterogeneous insulators in high-flux environments
Heterogeneous materials are used in a wide range of applications involving high heat flux environments such as concentrated solar reactors, high-temperature furnaces, or thermal protection systems of space vehicles. The thermal response of heterogeneous ma ...
EPFL2019Tribocorrosion under fluid lubrication
Wear is still the key problem causing the failure and limiting the lifetime of artificial hip joints, especially for the polymer acetabular cup in the metal-on-polymer and ceramic-on-polymer articulations. To reduce the wear, metal-on-metal articulation ha ...
EPFL2016A Drift-Kinetic Model for Tokamak SOL Plasmas
Paolo Ricci, Rogério Manuel Cabete De Jesus Jorge
A fluid drift-reduced description, which accurately describes phenomena occurring on time scales slower than the characteristic gyro-frequencies and space scales longer than the Larmor radii, has been successfully used in recent years to model the dynamics ...
2016Coupling CFD and chemical kinetics: examples Fire II and TITAN aerocapture
The investigation of the thermochemical field around planetary reentry capsules, and their experimental scaled models is made by coupling aerothermodynamic simulation of the corresponding flow field to a library of chemical kinetics of the specific atmosph ...
