The numerical simulation of fluid mechanics and heat transfer problems is now a standard part of engineering

The newest research in Materials looked at the thermo-mechanical performance of additively made Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) with incorporated Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors and their suitability for use under thermal stress.

Abstract During the hot strip tandem rolling (HSTR) process, the strip is compressed and elongated continuously, causing significant elastic deformation of rolls. At the same time, the strip temperature undergoes rapid increase and decrease, and distributes unevenly along the strip width direction. Elastic deformation of rolls and strip temperature variations have a significant effect on strip deformation, resulting in various strip shape. In this study, a novel three-dimensional (3D) coupled thermal-mechanical elastic-plastic finite element (FE) model for the HSTR is proposed based on the se...

Date Time New system to advance predictions in engineering Researchers from The University of Western Australia, the University of Cambridge and The Alan Turing Institute have radically redesigned and improved techniques for making predictions in the engineering and physical sciences. The research, published in the prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), builds on the well-known Finite Element Method (FEM), which has been used as a predictive tool in engineering and physical sciences for more than 70 years. Connor Duffin, PhD student from UWA’s School of Physics,...
