Modeling and optimization of laser beam percussion drilling of thin aluminum sheet

TL;DR: In this paper, a coupled methodology of Finite Element Method (FEM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was used to predict hole taper and material removal rates for laser-beam percussion drilling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of Joule Heating on Current Saturation and Transient Behavior of Graphene Transistors

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use simulations to examine current saturation in sub-micron graphene transistors on SiO2/Si and find that self-heating is partly responsible for current saturation, but degrades current densities above 1 bmA/μm by up to 15%.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermal conduction between a heated microcantilever and a surrounding air environment

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated transient heat conduction between a heated microcantilever and its air environment and found that the heat transfer coefficients around the heater and around the leg are considerably large; on the order of 1kW/m 2 ǫ K.

Thermal Detection of Embedded Tumors using Infrared Imaging

TL;DR: In this article, a genetic algorithm was used to estimate the location and heat generation rate of the source from these temperature distributions, in order to determine the location of an embedded tumor.

Energy saving evaluation of passive systems for residential buildings in hot and dry regions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the effect of four passive systems, including green roof, roof pond, wind catcher and underground house, for energy saving of a sample house built in Iran's hot and dry region.
