CHALLENGE - The emerging electrification and the increased complexity of vehicles brings high demands on temperature regulation and the cooling system. Studies have shown that entrapped air in the cooling system does have negative effects on its performance and also causes deterioration...
Guaranteeing effective signal transmission with modeFRONTIER.
Antenna design relies on understanding of directivity, impedance matching, radiation efficiency, wave polarization, frequency range and orientation specifications. These imply complex electromagnetic simulation analysis which can be...
CHALLENGE - The control surface is an effective apparatus for improving the hydrodynamic performance of planing hulls and is considered an important element in the design of planing hulls. Control surfaces produce forces and a pitching moment due to the pressure distribution that they cause,...
CHALLENGE - The idea is to assemble tubular Miura-ori modules into a cellular architecture, and apply fluidic pressure to induce folding and hence actuation. Despite the promising potentials, the actuation capabilities of fluidic origami, such as free stroke and block force, are not elucidated...
CHALLENGE - A first analysis is required in the conceptual building phase of an offshore platform that is composed of 4 solid concrete piles with a diameter of 1.2m that support a steel platform. In the middle of the platform, a steel pipe of 1m diameter and a thickness of 10mm is connected...
CHALLENGE - This research aims to optimize the geometric design of slotted propellant grains for solid rocket motors with respect to coupled internal ballistic performance and structural strength criteria.
SOLUTION - A multidisciplinary design optimization study is carried out for a...
CHALLENGE - This study investigates the use of Genetic Algorithms (GA) algorithms as main optimization tool in a Multidisciplinary Design and Optimization (MDO) framework considering three disciplines (aerodynamics, propulsion and aircraft performance) for a given set of aircraft parameters (...
