Double-sided heat dissipation numerical modeling of an embedded half-bridge power module with multiple chips

Thermal management has always played a significant role in power module design. Double-sided heat dissipation is more efficient at transferring heat than the traditional package. Although there are several thermal modeling approaches to power modules, the application of the numerical models, which are computationally fast and accurate, has...

ROM-FOM Interface Optimization for Efficient Thermomechanical Simulations of Electronic Components

Model order reduction techniques are developed and utilized to make numerical simulations more efficient. The use of Reduce Order Models (ROM) also enables data exchange with external parties without disclosing the sensitive information present in a Full-Order Model (FOM). It is crucial to optimize for both the efficiency and accuracy of a ROM...

Model Predictive Path Planning of AGVs: Mixed Logical Dynamical Formulation and Distributed Coordination

Most of the existing path planning methods of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are static. This paper proposes a new methodology for the path planning of a fleet of AGVs to improve the flexibility, robustness, and scalability of the AGV system. We mathematically describe the transport process as a dynamical system using an ad hoc mixed...

On the retrieval of forward-scattered waveforms from acoustic reflection and transmission data with the Marchenko equation

A Green's function in an acoustic medium can be retrieved from reflection data by solving a multidimensional Marchenko equation. This procedure requires a priori knowledge of the initial focusing function, which can be interpreted as the inverse of a transmitted wavefield as it would propagate through the medium, excluding (multiply)...
