Smart algorithms and smart design tools

Even though James Clerk Maxwell derived his famous set of equations around the year 1865, solving them to accurately predict the behaviour of light remains a challenge. In the design of photonic integrated circuits, which are used as chemical or biological sensors and as chips for fiber-optic communication systems, simulation of light on a micro-scale is of utmost importance. However, the complexity of modern devices is such that full, direct simulation is impossible – hence there is a need for smart algorithms and smart design tools.

Order of frictions and stiffnesses…

For lumped systems consisting of different frictions and stiffnesses, there has been confusion in literature about hysteresis curves and virtual play for many decades.

Make it clean

In mid-April, the second edition of the Manufacturing Technology Conference and the fifth edition of the Clean Event were held together, for the first time, at the Koningshof in Veldhoven (NL).

Bringing particles to light

Particle contamination monitoring and cleanliness control are fundamental to micromanufacturing processes across diverse industries to achieve cost-effective production of high-quality and reliable microscale devices and components.
