Thermal Management In Friction Stir Welding of Aluminum Alloys
… thermal conditions at tool, work piece and backing plate boundaries. </p> <p>Various thermal management methods are applied at work-piece, tool and backing plate boundaries. This is achieved by performing series of welds using various parameter sets in regular lab air, submerged under water …

Simulation of concentrated photovoltaic cooling system
… by circulating liquid through channels in the backing plate. The liquid is then pumped through an array of automotive type radiators and the excess heat is rejected to the ambient air; Reported here is the development of a numerical model for the cooling system. Experimental data are taken to …

Microscopic physics of transition edge sensors
… behaviour. I then investigate the use of a backing plate as an on-chip shield, to reduce the field susceptibility of the TESs by attenuating the perpendicular field component. I present the models used in this design process to ensure a good shielding factor as well as a high reflection …

Geometry control of recrystallized silicon wafers for solar applications
… was sandwiched between parallel Silicon Carbide backing plates during recrystallization, in an effort to preserve the wafer's initial thickness. This technique resulted in a recrystallized wafer with 212 [micro]m of variation along the wafers length, and a normalized variation of [sigma]/[mu] = …

Microstructure property development in friction stir welds of aluminim based alloys
… contact conductance between the sheet and the backing plate using experimental torque and force data, as well as in-situ thermocouple measurements for AA2xxx and AA5xxx welds. The model predictions were consistent with the microstructural and microhardness development in the welds. Gleeble …

3 dimensional flow and thermal modelling of the friction stir welding process
… of this model are the inclusion of the tool and backing plate, and the inclusion of heat generation at the pin, which is particularly relevant to the welding of thick sections. This model has been validated for a weld with 12mm thick 5083 aluminium. The development of transient thermal models for …
