Electrolyte Stability Determines Scaling Limits for Solid-State 3D Li Ion Batteries

Submitted by Jianyu Huang on
 
Rechargeable, all-solid-state Li ion batteries (LIBs) with high specific
capacity and small footprint are highly desirable to power an emerging
class of miniature, autonomous microsystems that operate without a
hardwire for power or communications. A variety of three-dimensional
(3D) LIB architectures that maximize areal energy density has been
proposed to address this need. The success of all of these designs
depends on an ultrathin, conformal electrolyte layer to electrically

Webinar: How Can IntelliSuite v8.7 Benefit MEMS Research and Teaching

Submitted by BShiari on

IntelliSuite was the first MEMS-specific CAD tool and has been under
development for over 20 years.  In this free webinar, understand how this
industry-standard software can help MEMS designers, process engineers,
and professors save time and costs in the development cycle, share their
designs with others, and teach students about MEMS. The webinar will
cover: process development using virtual fabrication tools, etch recipe
development using process simulators, design rule checking and
cross-sectioning tools for MEMS layout, design exploration and
optimization using behavioral and parametric modeling, recent
developments in automated meshing algorithms, discussion of coupled
FEM-BEM solvers for MEMS multiphysics analysis, linking MEMS models to

APDL for moving heat source in welding

Submitted by adi_damale on

Dear all,

    Presently I am working on the Controlling the Residual stresses in ARC welding.For this the FEM tools have to use.But while sumulating the model,I have stuck up in modeling FEM by Element birth and Deat and the moving heat source.So plz if anybody is having Case study of moving heat source and Element Brith and death then,its my request to all ,to share it with me..

About beam element in abaqus and ansys

Submitted by baltkobe on

I am interested in using beam element to do a nonlinear static analysis (may need to a dynamic analysis in the future), but have trouble to understand some of the key features of beam element in abaqus or ansys. My goal is to find a beam element (preferably general beam section) with a defined stress resultant yield surface (e.g., P-M-M yield surface). If possible, could also account warping degree of freedom.
