Surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices based on Rayleigh wave, shear wave, love wave, acoustic plate mode (APM) wave and flexural plate wave have been explored for sensors, actuators and telecommunication applications. An interdigital transducer (IDT) is a metallic comb-like structure ... En savoir plus

Loudspeakers, specifically electrodynamic transducers with enclosures, are used almost everywhere in our life. Transportation of acoustic information is vital for humans since the very beginning of the human evolution. Hence, reproduction of acoustics has a long tradition in engineering ... En savoir plus

An "electroacoustic absorber" is a loudspeaker, used as an absorber of sound, which acoustic impedance can be varied by electrical means. This can be achieved either by plugging passive shunt electric networks at the loudspeaker terminals ("shunt loudspeakers") or by feeding back the ... En savoir plus

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 ...

In this conference we have brought together a community that is scientifically diverse in an event that allows for inspiring contacts about the use of COMSOL Multiphysics. It is an event to connect with the Spanish and Portuguese COMSOL Multiphysics users and participate in training ... En savoir plus

Contactless manipulation of microscopic objects through acoustic waves has proven an attractive solution for several applications over the past decades. This modality is particularly interesting for the manipulation of bio-particles (BPs) due to its relatively low intensities, capability ... En savoir plus

The attempt has taken to miniaturized size of non contact temperature sensor by using ultrasonic trans-receiver. The piezoelectric material is used in both transmitter and receiver ends for this ultrasonic Micro-Electronics Mechanical Systems (MEMS) based temperature sensing device. ... En savoir plus

The present paper describes the development of a full FEM model for linear array high performance 5MHz ultrasound imaging transducer. As a preliminary design, a mono dimensional electro-acoustical KLM model was realized, then the complete FEM was developed and optimized. The optimized ... En savoir plus

Multiphysical simulation is a daily-used tool for loudspeaker design and engineering, however it is still a time expensive process that requires specific modeling capabilities. In order to increase engineering efficiency and to broaden the usage of multiphysical simulation, at ... En savoir plus

Noise reduction at low frequencies is a major issue in many workspaces and indoor public places. Unlike mid- and high-frequency noise, low frequency noise is less attenuated by using conventional sound absorbing materials. This communication proposes an electro-mechano-acoustic absorber ...
