Copper Corrosion Mechanisms by Simulation and Experiment Using Small Test Structures
Product lifetime prediction is a crucial task in microelectronics design and fabrication. Understanding of the underlying processes causing material degradation and product failure is essential for establishing accurate lifetime models. This work aims to investigate and model the ... Read More
Degassing of PP Pellets in a Silo: Keeping C9 Concentrations Below the Lower Explosion Limit
When polypropylene (PP) is produced it contains impurities in the form of dissolved gasses. These gasses can be removed by heating the material (in the form of pellets in a silo) and flushing with plenty of fresh air. However, one of the gasses is C9, which is flammable. We built a model ... Read More
Efficient Geothermal Cooling in Harsh Environments: A Combined Experimental and Modelling Approach
In this work we present a novel approach to enhance energy efficiency in cooling intake air for air conditioning (AC) systems in harsh environments using geothermal energy. We developed a 3D finite element model to simulate the heat transfer between underground soils/gravels and cooling ... Read More
Elastohydrodynamics of Roll-to-Plate Nanoimprinting on Non-Flat Substrates
Roll-to-plate nanoimprinting is a manufacturing method to replicate micro- and nanotextures on large-area substrates with UV-curable resins. Figure 1 shows a schematic of the roll-to-plate imprint process, which is considered in this study [1]. It uses several rollers, for imprinting and ... Read More
Electrochemomechanical Simulations of 3D-Resolved Solid-State Lithium-Ion Battery Cells
Solid-state batteries have emerged as a viable alternative to traditional liquid-based lithium-ion batteries, offering improved cost efficiency, safety, and environmental impact. Chlorine-rich lithium argyrodite (Li6PS5Cl) has emerged as a promising solid-state electrolyte, presenting ... Read More
Exploring a Cost-Effective Approach for Digital Radio Broadcasting Service Coverage Inside Tunnels
In the recent years, Rai Research Centre (CRITS) has been involved in investigating solutions to guarantee a satisfactory coverage of Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) service, in the 200 MHz frequency band, for challenging scenarios like tunnels. Preliminary field tests receiving the RF ... Read More
Finite Element Analysis of Friction Stir Welding of Al Alloy and Inconel 718
Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining technique that has become increasingly popular and efficient for welding both similar and dissimilar metallic materials. Despite its success in joining dissimilar materials, further development is necessary to meet industry ... Read More
Fully-Coupled Transient Modeling of a Highly Miniaturized Electrostatic Pull-In Driven Micropump
