  • Design for additive manufacture (DfAM): the "equivalent continuum material" for cellular structures analysis
    Additive manufacturing (AM) offers many advantages, including material savings, lightening, design freedom, function integration, etc. In the case of cellular materials, regular structures (lattice and honeycomb) are particularly important due to their ability to reduce weight. However, the design process and FEM analysis of this type of structure

  • Coronal Heating by MHD Waves
    The heating of the solar chromosphere and corona to the observed high temperatures, imply the presence of ongoing heating that balances the strong radiative and thermal conduction losses expected in the solar atmosphere. It has been theorized for decades that the required heating mechanisms of the chromospheric and coronal parts of the active

  • Conceptual design of a high-resolution ultra-stable spectrograph for GTC
    "A joint project has been proposed by the Chinese and Spanish astronomy communities, to develop a high-resolution, ultra- stable spectrograph for the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) at La Palma. Being expected to conduct precise radial velocity (PRV) measurement with extreme precision of up to 10 cm s -1, the instrument would promote the very high

  • Conceptual design of a fast-slewing mount for the New Robotic Telescope
    The New Robotic Telescope is designed to conduct rapid target follow-up within 30 seconds of an `alert' from survey facilities. To achieve this will require a quick settling time requirement for the mount structure and the mirrors. This means the structure shall be designed to be sufficiently rigid to achieve the mirror position within the `settle

  • Conceptual design for the optomechanical systems of the New Robotic Telescope
    The New Robotic Telescope (NRT) will be the largest fully robotic telescope in the world (4-m class). The primary mirror (M1) will be comprised of 18 independent 960 mm hexagonal segments with an actively controlled position to maintain the shape of the optical surface. The secondary mirror (M2) will be a lightweighted circular mirror of 1270 mm of

  • Chemical composition of the solar surface
    The Sun provides a standard reference against which we compare the chemical abundances found anywhere else in the Universe. Nevertheless, there is not a unique `solar' composition, since the chemical abundances found in the solar interior, the photosphere, the upper atmosphere, or the solar wind, are not exactly the same. The composition of the
