Design of Laser Welding Parameters for Joining Ti Grade 2 and AW 5754 Aluminium Alloys Using Numerical Simulation by Mária Behúlová, Eva Babalová, Miroslav Sahul

“…Joining of dissimilar Al-Ti alloys is very interesting from the point of view of weight reduction of components and structures in automotive or aerospace industries. In the dependence on cooling rate and chemical composition, rapid solidification of Al-Ti alloys during laser welding can lead to the formation of metastable phases and brittle intermetallic compounds that generally reduce the quality of produced weld joints. …”

Numerical investigation of regenerative wind farms featuring enhanced vertical energy entrainment by Y. Li, W. Yu, A. Sciacchitano, C. Ferreira

“…Additionally, the novel wind energy harvesting systems are hypothesized to be feasible without requiring significant technological advancements, as they could be implemented as multi-rotor systems with lifting devices (MRSLs), where the lifting devices consist of large airfoil structures. Wind farms with these novel wind harvesting systems, namely MRSLs, are termed <i>regenerative wind farms</i>, inspired by the concept that the upstream MRSLs actively entrain energy for the downstream ones. …”
