Fast and accurate composite laminate analysis through 'Lego-like' construction
2024-08-06 17:09:03
Composite laminates, consisting of bonded layers of different materials, find extensive applications in various industries, including aerospace, automobiles, and shipbuilding sectors due to their exceptional strength-to-body-weight ratio and tailored mechanical properties. Due to different strengths and properties resulting from different fiber directions, the design analysis and optimization of composite laminates requires repetitive numerical simulations to explore various layer materials and stacking sequences.
Enhancing smart cities: New method for accurate 3D sensor network monitoring
2024-08-06 15:58:16
Smart cities are crucial for sustainable urban development as they manage growing populations through advanced sensor networks and digital communication systems. Smart monitoring, a key service in these cities, oversees both indoor and outdoor environments. For example, it can enhance road safety for autonomous vehicles by predicting and alerting them about potential accidents at intersections. Indoors, it supports vulnerable individuals by automatically notifying authorities during emergencies.
