Design and optimization of conformal cooling channels for injection molding: a review
The recent developments in the additive manufacturing make easier and affordable the fabrication of conformal cooling channels (CCCs) compared with the traditional machining techniques. Conformal cooling channels (CCCs) achieve better cooling performances than the conventional (straight-drilled) channels during the injection molding process since they can follow the pathways of the molded geometry while the conventional channels fail. Cooling time, total injection time, uniform temperature distribution, thermal stress, warpage thickness, etc. are some of the objectives that are improved via CCC applications. However, the CCC design process is more complex than the conventional channels; therefore, computer-aided engineering (CAE) simulations have significant importance for the effective and affordable design. This review study presents the main design steps of CCCs as follows: (1) a background of the CCC fabrication process is projected, (2) the thermal and mechanical models are presented with respect to the 1D analytical model, (3) the CAE-supported design criteria are discussed for the 3D models of CCCs and relevant mold materials, (4) some of the illustrative CAE simulations are explained in detail according to the computational thermal and mechanical objectives, and (5) the single- and multi-objective optimization procedures are defined. By following the aforementioned steps, clearer and effective CAE steps can be obtained for the designers before the on-site fabrication of CCCs.

Stochastic Geometry for Wireless Networks
Covering point process theory, random geometric graphs and coverage processes, this rigorous introduction to stochastic geometry will enable you to obtain powerful, general estimates and bounds of wireless network performance and make good design choices for future wireless architectures and protocols that efficiently manage interference effects. Practical engineering applications are integrated with mathematical theory, with an understanding of probability the only prerequisite. At the same time, stochastic geometry is connected to percolation theory and the theory of random geometric graphs and accompanied by a brief introduction to the R statistical computing language. Combining theory and hands-on analytical techniques with practical examples and exercises, this is a comprehensive guide to the spatial stochastic models essential for modelling and analysis of wireless network performance.

Design, simulation and optimization of conformal cooling channels in injection molds: a review
The manufacturing of conformal cooling channels (CCC’s) is now easier and more affordable, owing to the recent developments in the field of additive manufacturing. The use of CCC’s allows better cooling performances than the conventional (straight-drilled) channels, in the injection molding process. The main reason is that CCC’s can follow the pathways of the molded geometry, while the conventional channels, manufactured by traditional machining techniques, are not able to do so. Some of the parameters that can be significantly improved by the use of CCC are cooling time, total injection time, uniform temperature distribution, thermal stress, warpage thickness. However, the design process for CCC is more complex than for conventional channels. Computer-aided engineering (CAE) simulations are important for achieving effective and affordable design. This review article focuses the main aspects related to the use of CCC’s in injection molding, as follows: Sect.

On the modelling of the vibration behaviors via discrete singular convolution method for a high-order sector annular system
This research presents a numerical investigation on the dynamic information of the axisymmetric sandwich annular sector plate via a higher-order continuum elasticity theory. The sandwich annular sector plate comprises multi-hybrid nanocomposite reinforced (MHCR) face sheets in the top, bottom layers, and a honeycomb core. For modeling the thermal situation and the thickness of the structure, three-kinds of thermal loading are presented. For simulating MHCR face sheets, the role of the mixture and Halpin–Tsai micromechanics model is utilized. For obtaining the governing equations and various boundary conditions, first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT), as well as Hamilton’s principle, are presented. For solving the equations and obtaining eigenvalue, and eigenvector of the current structure, discrete singular convolution method (DSCM) as a numerical one is investigated. Consequently, a parametric study is carried out to examine the impacts of honeycomb network angle, thickness to length ratio of the honeycomb, honeycomb to face sheet thickness ratio, fibers angel, outer to inner radius ratio, and weight fraction of CNTs on the dynamics of the current sandwich structure. The results show that for clamped edge and each th/lh, increasing θh/π is a reason for decreasing the natural frequency of the disk. Another consequence is that the impact of temperature changes on the frequency of the disk is hardly dependent on the fiber angle. It means that the effect of temperature changes on the frequencies of the current system is more considerable at 0.2 ≤ θf ⁄π ≤ 0.4 and 0.6 ≤ θf ⁄π ≤ 0.8.
