▪ Abstract Coating is the process of applying thin liquid layers to a substrate, often a moving
web. Complex coating processes can be approached through examination of their fluid …

Energy saving and industrial pollution have become increasingly important issues, therefore
the identification and adoption of more energy efficient machines and industrial processes …

A linear elastic response is assumed in most structural topology optimization problems.
While this assumption is valid for a wide variety of problems, it is not valid for structures …

This paper presents a Finite Element Method (FEM) based algorithm to simulate the
mutually dependent effects between non-Newtonian polymer melt flow and fiber orientation …

Computer simulations of metal forming processes using the finite element method (FEM)
are, today, well established. This form of simulation uses an increasing number of …

Profile extrusion is a manufacturing process used for continuous plastic profiles with a fixed
cross section. The key challenge in the development of profile extrusion dies is to design the …

Abstract Large Area Additive Manufacturing now enables the fabrication of structures that
are dramatically more substantial than those produced with standard 3D printing. As the use …

A design sensitivity analysis is used to optimize the applied wall temperature vs. time in
autoclave curing for thermoset matrix composites. The calculation minimizes the cure time …

Topology optimization of structures has become an area of rapidly increasing interest to
researchers during the past decade. Most structural topology optimization problems assume …

In liquid composite molding (LCM) processes the resin is injected into a mold cavity
containing pre-placed reinforcement fabrics through openings known as gates, and the air …
