Hybrid Magnetoactive Soft Elastomers: Material Development Toward Application in Diaphragm Pumps

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Hybrid magnetoactive soft elastomeric membranes are developed by combining two different types of magnetic particles. The membranes exhibit distinct mechanical, magnetic and thermal properties owing to the unique characteristics of the two magnetic particles.

A third-order KdV solution for internal solitary waves and its application in the numerical wave tank

open access: yesJournal of Ocean Engineering and Science, 2016
A third-order KdV solution to the internal solitary wave is derived by a new method based on the weakly nonlinear assumptions in a rigid-lid two-layer system. The solution corrects an error by Mirie and Su (1984).

Wave effects on the turning ability of an ultra large container ship in shallow water [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The influence of waves on ship behaviour can lead to hazardous scenarios which put at risk the ship, the crew and the surroundings. For this reason, investigating the effect of waves on manoeuvring is of relevant interest.

Numerical simulation study of wave dissipation performance of step‐type breakwaters

open access: yesEngineering Reports
To improve the force endurance capacity of plate breakwaters, a step‐type plate breakwater was proposed. The performance of the step‐type breakwater was investigated by numerical simulation method. First, a two‐dimensional numerical regular wave tank was

A multi-physics methodology for the simulation of the two-way interaction of reactive flow and elastoplastic structural response

open access: yes, 2017
We propose a numerical methodology for the numerical simulation of distinct, interacting physical processes described by a combination of compressible, inert and reactive forms of the Euler equations, multiphase equations and elastoplastic equations ...

Mapping of Physiological Signals From Wireless Battery‐Free Implants With Plane‐Wave Ultrasound Imaging

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Combined approach of electromagnetic (Power) and ultrasound (data harvesting) waves is proposed to address the miniaturized ultrasonic implants. Electromagnetic waves trigger the piezoelectric element to generate the acoustic pulse which is modulated by the variations in the sensor's impedance.

Numerical Wave Tanks

open access: yes, 2023
The objective of the Master’s thesis is to compare different NWT in terms of efficiency and accuracy.Comparisons will be achieved on a set of experimental tests already conducted in ECN. Different types of wave fields will be studied, with an increasing degree of complexity: from regular waves to unidirectional irregular waves.

Novel Characteristics of Valveless Pumping [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This study investigates the occurrence of valveless pumping in a fluidfilled system consisting of two open tanks connected by an elastic tube. We show that directional flow can be achieved by introducing a periodic pinching applied at an asymmetrical ...
