Training – Should We or Shouldn’t We? “What if we train them and they leave?” “What if we don’t and they stay?” Which kind of company mentality lends itself to top performers? According to one of the articles we ran across, Top Performers might actually want to stay and grow with more training. […]

Computational Analysis of Scattering of Electromagnetic Waves by Particles A computational model of Mie scattering was developed using COMSOL Multiphysics® and its RF Module. It solves for the scattering off a dielectric, magnetic or metal spherical particle with radius a. The model geometry is shown in Figure 1. The air domain is

AltaSim Receives SBIR Award AltaSim Technologies was recently awarded an SBIR Award from The United States Department of Energy. The award was given to help AltaSim further develop the technologies that drive additive manufacturing. Jeff Crompton, Ph.D., a principal here at AltaSim is quoted in the article. He states: “We plan to create

Scattering of Electromagnetic Waves by Particles Interaction between electromagnetic waves and particles produce unique scattering patterns that are wavelength and particle size dependent. As electromagnetic waves propagate through matter they interact with particles or inhomogeneities and locally perturb the local electron distribution. This variation produces periodic charge separation within the particle causing oscillation

Ceramic Matrix Composites – Solidifying it all In the preceding Blogs on Ceramic Matrix Composites we have provided an outline of an intimately coupled multiphysics problem and how the controlling factors can be formulated to develop a predictive physics-based computational model. But what we really need to do if we are to help this
