Researchers at the University of Bologna carried out crash simulations to qualify a novel solar powered 350 kg passenger vehicle for the next edition of the 3,000 km Bridgestone World Solar Challenge (BWSC) across the Australian continent.

In the era of Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing, Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) stands at the forefront, driving a paradigm shift towards automated, digitalized production. However, online simulation remains a technical barrier toward building a Digital Twin (DT) for metallic AM due to the prolonged computing time of numerical simulations and limitations in accuracy of current data-driven models. This study addresses these issues by introducing an adaptive online simulation model for ...

Sinn Power and Recom have installed a 1 km-long PV system on a conveyor belt at a German gravel plant, using Sinn Power's custom aluminum structure for conveyor belt applications.

Over the past few decades, the rapid development of efficient mathematical algorithms and the increasing availability of powerful computers have made it possible to develop realistic constitutive models. With the development of highly sophisticated constitutive models, the Finite Element Method (FEM) has become an invaluable tool for predicting ultimate loads and the associated failure mechanisms. Consequently, more capable and realistic models can be developed to analyze and design various type...

Nonmetallic inclusions or their chain-like distribution could cause shattered rims, a typical rolling contact fatigue failure of train wheels. The advanced experiment and FEM simulation strategy were developed to investigate the critical stress distribution associated with nonmetallic inclusions in high-speed train wheels. It has been found that most of the inclusions in the studied high-speed wheel have a length smaller than 9 μm. Hard inclusions (Al2O3) cause a significant stress concentratio...
