Congratulations to Josep Farré et al. for the New article called "Grease flow in an elbow channel", which has been accepted for publication in Tribology Letters
News
Fluid Mechanics at Luleå University of Technology have contributed with their expertise on grease flow mechanics in small geometries.
We complement each other well. Microtech Lab is specialized in building small scale and we are good at flow mechanics in small geometries. We are also experts in modeling the flow mechanics of grease. To optimize the production of electricity in a wind turbine, the turbine blade is angled in a narrow range; which means that only a small number of teeth in the pinion gear are worn. Using Microlubgear, it is possible to apply the grease during operation, says Lars-Göran Westerberg, assistant professor at Fluid Mechanics, Luleå University of Technology.
Microlubgear project is now explained in several newspapers availabe on paper and online. One sample can be seen in titulars.cat
The paper titled "The use of Rapid Prototyping techniques (RPT) to manufacture Micro channels suitable for high operation pressures and µPIV" has been accepted for publication in Rapid Prototyping Journal.
Dr. Hojjat Madadi Joints Center for Advanced Biomaterials for Health Care, Italian Institute of Technology in Napoli as a PostDoc! Congratulations!
The Center for Advanced Biomaterials for Healthcare at CRIB uses cutting edge technologies to engineer bio-logically inspired material platforms for applications in the biomedical sector. (http://abcnapoli.iit.it)
The paper has already been published on line (first view) by Cambridge Journals. You can access it following the link below.
Paper Entitled " Analytical Energy Model For the Dynamic Behaviour of RFMEMS Switches Under Increased Actuation Voltatge" is already published online in the Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems
The European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) is the voice of the wind industry, actively promoting wind power in Europe and worldwide, to the general public, political decision-makers, businesses and universities.
It is EWEA’s objective to strengthen the development of European and global wind energy markets, infrastructure and technology in order to achieve a more sustainable and cleaner future. To this end, EWEA organises next march 10 till 13 Europe's premier wind energy conference and exhibition in Barcelona and Microlubgear will be presented there.
The Article: "A novel fabrication technique to minimize poly(dimethylsiloxane)-microchannels deformation under high-pressure operation" by
Hojjat Madadi, Mahdi Mohammadi, Jasmina Casals-Terré, Roberto Castilla López has been published in Electrophoresis Journal.
