Thin-walled tapered conformable low-pressure tanks: Concept and principles KU Leuven
In pressure tank design, structural efficiency or the ratio of pressurized volume to structural mass is fundamental and implies a specific shape, such as a cylindrical or spherical layout. However, this axi-symmetric layout may be not conform to the enveloping shape. Previous investigations developed a conformable tank concept with a multi-bubble axi-symmetric layout, called a multi-lobe, multi-cell or multi-bubble tank, but structural design ...

Modeling of complex moving sound sources using a cut finite element method approach KU Leuven
While acoustic analysis with the finite element method is commonly done under the assumption that the source location is stationary, this is not always a valid assumption. This article derives a method to simulate moving sound sources using an unfitted mesh approach, where the source boundary is described by cutting through elements, known as the cut finite element method (cutFEM). By using such an approach the mesh stays static during ...
