👉 Meet our next partner: The international accelerator facility #FAIR, one of the largest research projects worldwide, is currently being built in #Darmstadt, Germany. FAIR will generate particle beams of a previously unparalleled intensity and quality. The variety of these particles will be unique: Ions of all the natural elements in the periodic table, as well as antiprotons, can be accelerated. The FAIR facility consists of a superconducting ring accelerator with a circumference of 1,100 meters, storage rings and experiment sites with several kilometers of beam line in total. The existing GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research accelerators will serve as the first acceleration stage.

Excited to share an update to the post made earlier this year. My second publication has been added to the AIAA Aerospace Research Central (ARC) platform, now with an official DOI link! This paper, titled Crafting Resilience: Additive Manufacturing for Rover Mission Sustainability, was presented at the AIAA Region II Student Conference at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in April, 2024. This paper explores how Additive Manufacturing (AM) can be used to revolutionize rover missions for space exploration. Techniques like Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) and Directed Energy Deposition (DED) allow for on-demand part production and material recycling, making missions more sustainable and adaptable. Imagine a rover that can be repaired or have the ability to produce new tools while on Mars—this technology makes it possible. This innovation doesn’t just improve rover missions; it sets the stage for a more sustainable, cost-effective approach to exploring the cosmos. Curious to learn more?

Feb 6 seminar: Printed Next-Gen Nanomaterial-Based EMI Shields Register at: https://lnkd.in/ghrjdtEQ Shielding of electromagnetic interference is a key requirement across numerous commercial and military applications. However, conventional metal shields reflect EM radiation, causing secondary EM pollution and reducing stealth capability. EM shielding can be made absorptive rather than reflective by using semiconducting nanomaterials. For example, Ti3C2Tx or Bi2S3 can be used as a filler in a conductive polymer matrix that can then be printed as a thin, light, effective EM absorber. Please join us for an in-person lunchtime seminar with Meyya Meyyappan, formerly the Director of Nanotechnology at NASA Ames. At Eurofins | EAG Laboratories in Sunnyvale.

🌟 New research on third medium contact of fully coupled problems! 🌟 I’m thrilled to announce our (Joe Alexandersen, Andreas Henrik Frederiksen, Konstantinos Poulios, and ole sigmund) new publication: "Topology Optimization of Contact-Aided Thermo-Mechanical Regulators", which recently was published in the International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering. You can find the paper here: https://lnkd.in/dXAX8EKT In this study, we produce innovative designs for thermo-mechanical regulators using topology optimization. More precisely, we design advanced thermal switches, diodes, and triodes that exhibit tunable thermal conductivity via structural contact, paving the way for applications in electronics, spacecraft, and beyond. Key highlights: - A fully coupled non-linear thermo-mechanical framework. - Innovative use of the third medium contact method for efficient heat transfer control. - Demonstrations of optimized designs of thermal switches, diodes, and triodes. Special thanks to the Independent Research Fund Denmark for supporting this project. In the video below you can see how an optimized diode exhibits contact when the left-hand side is heated, wherefore heat is transfered to the right-hand side (red is hot and blue is cold). However, when the polarity is switched such that the right-hand side is heated instead, no contact occurs, i.e. almost no heat transfer occurs! I look forward to hearing your thoughts! #FEA #TopologyOptimization
