Residual stresses in components are an important issue in most manufacturing processes, as they influence the performance of the final part. Regarding hot forming processes there is a great potential of defining a targeted ...

In order to reduce the silicon consumption in the production of crystalline silicon solar cells, the improvement of sawing techniques or the use of a kerf-less process are possible solutions. This study focuses on a ...

Actual developments in numerical simulations of the structural behaviour in fire situation are focussed on taking into consideration the interaction of all structural members in a global numerical approach. Therefore it ...
