Este trabalho apresenta a simulação numérica de um sistema de levitação acústica para manipulação de partículas em ar. O sistema de levitação consiste de dois transdutores de ultrassom e um refletor de face plana. Através da simulação é calculado o potencial da força de radiação acústica que atua numa esfera. Os resultados da simulação são verificados experimentalmente através da comparação da ...

In this context, a one-dimensional acoustic transmission line, exhibiting metamaterial properties, is presented. It is composed of an acoustic waveguide, periodically loaded with membranes having the function of series capacitances, as well as transversally connected open channels (denoted stubs) having the function of shunt inductances. A validation of the transmission line design is made ...

Sound energy distribution patterns within enclosed spaces are the basic concerns of architectural acoustics. Energy decays are analyzed for major acoustical parameter estimations, while spatial energy distribution and flow vectors are indicative in the analysis of sound energy circulation and concentration zones. In this study the acoustical field of a real-size multi-domed monumental ...
Compression Driver Simulation Including Air Damping in Phase Plug
R.Christensen, and U. Skov
iCapture ApS
Gadstrup, Denmark
A compression driver is a certain type of electrodynamic loudspeaker which has a phase plug with slits in front of the diaphragm. The slits are narrow enough that the so-called viscothermal effects are of significant importance. In this paper a 2D axisymmetric finite element model of a commercial compression driver is established where the vibroacoustic behavior can be evaluated. The ...

This paper concentrates on developing a self-contained cochlea whose performance is at par with natural hearing. The Artificial Basilar Membrane (ABM) design is done in such a manner so as to get a performance similar to the natural hearing. Finite element analysis was done with the help of COMSOL Multiphysics software. Two materials, Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and lead zirconate titanate ( ...
Lamb Waves in Fluid-Loaded Plates
T. Kaufmann[1], F. Kassubek[1], D. Pape [1], M. Lenner[1]
[1]ABB Corporate Research, Baden-Dättwil, Switzerland
Lamb waves are elastic waves propagating in free solid plates. In the case of plates loaded with a fluid, the equations describing these waves have to be modified to include the effects of the fluid. In our work we have tackled this problem using COMSOL Multiphysics®. We have used the two-dimensional plane strain model of the solid mechanics interface to calculate the eigenmodes of the coupled ...
Acoustic Wave Crack Detection: A First Principles Approach
R. W. Pryor [1],
[1] Pryor Knowledge Systems, Inc., Bloomfield Hills, MI, USA
Crack detection is and has been an active field of exploration, both theoretical and applied for a number of years. It is the belief of this author that the concepts presented herein explore a new methodology for the modeling and the detection of cracks and families of cracks in crystalline solids, polycrystalline solids and high viscosity amorphous materials (glasses). In the case of the ...
Optimization of an Acoustic Waveguide for Professional Audio Applications

In modern live sound reinforcement there is a growing use of line sources, obtained through the stacking of many loudspeakers with properly controlled wavefront shape. Thus the use of waveguides is mandatory in order to modify the shape and size of the wavefront exiting from professional compression drivers. With the help of COMSOL Multiphysics®, we have designed a waveguide featuring an ...
COMSOL Multiphysics® Simulation of Ultrasonic Energy in Cleaning Tanks - new
L. Zhong[1]
[1]Seagate Technology, Bloomington, MN, USA
Ultrasonic based cleaning process, widely used in various industries, mainly utilizes the cavitation effect to achieve contamination removal. For a given set of ultrasonic tank parameters, such as cleaning fluid, temperature, frequency etc, the cavitation effect is largely impacted by the amount of ultrasonic energy. Determining optimal ultrasonic energy level often becomes the key to the ...
Optimization of Acoustic Silencer for the Screw Compressor System - new

[1]TNO, Delft, The Netherlands
In one of the screw compressor system, designed silencer was not optimal. A great challenge was the large variation in operating conditions, especially the variation of the molecular weight of the gas. There was need to optimize the silencer. This paper describes the acoustic modelling tools to optimize the acoustic performance of the silencer. Optimization steps carried out are based on the ...
