A first generation air foil bearing (AFB) is shown in Figure 1. AFBs induce, at higher rotating speeds, an air film between the journal and the top foil, which lowers the friction forces. The goal of this study is to develop a model of an AFB. The thickness of the air film depends on ... 詳細を見る

For the SAFARI Imaging Spectrometer, part of the SPICA satellite payload, a Calibration Source is under development. Challenges in the design include the low cooling power (few mW) available at cryogenic temperatures. COMSOL Multiphysics® simulations were used extensively in the design ... 詳細を見る

Pressure Sensors are widely used in the automotive industry. Their main use is the dynamic monitoring of pressure inside combustion engines. To achieve a good signal accuracy, the design of pressure sensors can be improved with FEM calculations of stress and strains on the measuring cell ... 詳細を見る

A new design concept for large (6 mm diameter) dynamically focusing silicon membrane mirrors using electrostatic actuation was realized. With this concept membrane buckling by residual compressive stress inside the membrane can be avoided. To eliminate the influence of residual stress ... 詳細を見る

With the advent of MEMS, transdermal drug delivery has been developed to increase skin permeability for drug transport. Various microneedle structures have been analyzed theoretically as well as through simulation using COMSOL Multiphysics®. Then computational fluid dynamics has been ... 詳細を見る

In this paper we made an attempt to maximize the power output in the different piezoelectric materials in a unimorph cantilever beam configuration. In this research, a macro scale unimorph piezoelectric power generator prototypes consists of an active piezoelectric layer, stainless steel ... 詳細を見る

This paper presents numerical simulation of plate wave modes in thin stainless steel plates using a racetrack spiral coil electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT), which works under the principle of acousto-elastic effect, called Lorentz force mechanism. EMATs are useful for non ... 詳細を見る

Access to electricity has become a major problem. In the process of solving this problem we should consider even a small source of electricity. Piezotyres are made to produce electricity from vehicle tyres. For this we have used a piezoelectric property, one of the natural wonder. COMSOL ... 詳細を見る
