Topology optimization is a powerful tool for producing an optimal free-form design from input mechanical constraints. However, in its traditional-density-based approach, it does not feature a proper definition for the ...

With the advent of more and more sophisticated driving assistance systems on the market, the use of driving simulators to test them has become nearly compulsory. The number of research papers involving simulator studies ...

In a plot to improve the performance of steel mechanical parts subject to aggressive friction solicitations, three batches of deposits of TiN and CrN layers on steel substrates with two different roughnesses have been ...

Bracing is the most common treatment to stop the progression of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Finite element modeling could help improve brace design, but model validation is still a challenge. In this work, the clinical ...
