Abstract: Powder-based additive manufacturing is an efficient and rapid manufacturing technique because it allows fabrication of complex parts that are often unobtainable by traditional manufacturing processes. ...

Abstract: Most of the laser applications in medicine and biology involve thermal effects. The laser-tissue thermal interaction has therefore received more and more attentions in recent years. However, ...

Abstract: Uncertainty plays a critical role in engineering design as even a small amount of uncertainty could make an optimal design solution infeasible. The goal of robust optimization is to find a ...

Abstract: The inverse heat conduction problem (IHCP) in a one-dimensional composite slab with rate-dependent pyrolysis chemical reaction and outgassing flow effects is investigated using the iterative ...

Abstract: A new numerical model is developed to simulate the 3D inverse heat transfer in a composite target with pyrolysis and outgassing effects. The gas flow channel size and gas addition velocity ...

Abstract: A nonequilibrium thermal model is developed to predict the through-thickness transient temperature variation in organic composites subjected to intensive heating. In addition to heat conduction, ...
