COMSOL Multiphysics® was used to evaluate the performance of a woofer coupled to an automotive door. Two uses cases were considered: rigid and non-rigid door structures. Using the Structural Mechanics Module, the speaker membrane displacement was computed for both cases from 20Hz to 500 ... 詳細を見る

Micro-machined ultrasound transducers have a wide range of applications. As a sensor or actuator they can be used for measuring fluid speed and direction, to mix and excite particles (sonication), for taking images (ultrasonography), for non-destructive testing and many other purposes in ... 詳細を見る

Today’s driver hardware for High-intensity discharge (HID) lamps is bulky, expensive and not particularly energy-efficient. A downscaling of the devices seems possible by increasing the operation frequency from typically 400 Hz to some hundred kilohertz. However, efforts to design high ... 詳細を見る

Amplitude of acoustic waves can be magnified by conical or concave waveguides, like in ear trumpets or fjords (surface waves). The simplest way realizing a capable device is a conical waveguide with a target to be treated in the top of the cone, and a spherical actor or acoustic exciter ... 詳細を見る

It is known that photoacoustic spectroscopy shows the highest signal-to-noise ratio compared to other spectroscopy techniques. This is due to an orthogonal detection scheme: while exciting with light we monitor soundwaves. In gaseous phase, the use of an acoustic chamber called cell ... 詳細を見る

There are several industrial applications, like food dehydration, atomization and textile washing among others, that are enhanced by the use of power ultrasonic transducers with flat rectangular plate radiator. These transducers are composed by three main parts, the piezoelectric ... 詳細を見る

Flexible and semi-rigid polyurethane foams are widely used as noise and vibration damping materials. Their porous random microstructure is composed of a visco-elastic frame structure with an interstitial fluid, normally air, filling the voids. The viscoelasticity of the foams is due to ... 詳細を見る

For non-imaging wearable ultrasound applications Novioscan is developing piezoelectric MEMS transducers. These transducers consist of a large array of micromechanical silicon membranes with piezoelectrically actuated regions to generate an out-of-plane displacement causing a pressure ... 詳細を見る

Large centrifugal compressors, which are commonly applied in the oil and gas and in the process industry, may fail due to vibrations of the impeller. These vibrations are induced by pressure pulsations in a compressor stage. These vibrations can be especially strong in so-called dense ... 詳細を見る

Functionally graded materials (FGM) are those that contain chemical, phase or structural gradients. Whilst the design of functionally graded structures is well researched in areas such as shape optimisation and topology optimization, their manufacture is still in development. One ... 詳細を見る
