In this paper, design and analysis of a novel MEMS capacitive microphone which uses corrugations and perforations in diaphragm is presented. The corrugation and perforation in diaphragm reduces the residual stress and increases the mechanical sensitivity of diaphragm. Instead of the ... 詳細を見る

Load cells are force sensors, which are used in weighing equipment. The objective of this work is to develop MEMS based load cell. In this work two different load cell designs were simulated. First design is based on compressing a meander like polysilicon strain gage for the measurement ... 詳細を見る

In this paper we present results of simulations done to predict the behavior of a system consisting of DNA molecules in an aqueous medium under the combined effect of AC Electroosmosis and Dielectrophoresis (DEP). ACEO is caused by the movement of fluid particles under the influence of ... 詳細を見る

In the conference we bring together a community that is scientifically diverse in an event about the use of COMSOL Multiphysics. Oral and poster presentations highlight achievements in multiphysics modeling and simulations using COMSOL. 詳細を見る

A laboratory exercise to learn PID controller tuning can be time consuming and taxing on the equipment. A purely equation-based, virtual controller tuning exercise might not seem relevant to real world processes. We have combined a physical process with a COMSOL Multiphysics model to ... 詳細を見る

Considering a liquid drop in relative movement with respect to the air flow at uniform velocity, the liquid will be driven to the surface by the viscous friction. Internal vortices will appear inside the drop. This problem has already been studied in fluid mechanics and is well known as ... 詳細を見る

Dielectrophoresis (or DEP) has been exploited for various micro and nano fluidics applications like patterning, sorting and separation. However, there are several commonly neglected issues in quantifying DEP forces. Such negligence could potentially lead to wrong DEP force predictions ... 詳細を見る

It is necessary to understand and control nanopore behavior in order to develop biosensors for a variety of applications including DNA sequencing. The fluidics of nanopore devices we fabricated exhibits a range of interesting phenomena, such as enhanced conductance and current ... 詳細を見る

Dielectrophoresis is a phenomenon in which a force is exerted on a dielectric particle when it is subjected to a non-uniform electric field. In this research, we analyze dielectrophoretic (DEP) force using a geometry containing two electrodes, one with SiO2 and one without, with a gap ... 詳細を見る

A solar cell offers a potential solution to energy shortage problems by converting sunlight into electrical power. Organic solar cells (OSCs) are low-cost and versatile, but also tend to be low-efficiency and short-lasted. Three macroscopic parameters determine their power-conversion ... 詳細を見る
