This paper presents a finite element (FE) model of the scattering studies of cylindrical pressure housings made of different metallic alloys such as aluminium, stainless steel 316L and titanium. Understanding the acoustic scattering behavior of underwater objects helps in improving ... 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

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

Piezoelectric micromachined ultrasound transducers (PMUTs) are gaining increasing interest as miniaturized, low-power devices which can be easily integrated with electronic systems for applications such as medical imaging, therapeutic ultrasound, and particle manipulation. This work ... En savoir plus

At University College London, Applied Analytical Chemistry MSc course, we have used COMSOL Multiphysics as an alternative to laboratory-based student research projects. Use of computational modelling enabled students to complete their research work remotely while gaining experience in ... En savoir plus

Automotive manufacturers have to continuously reduce their vehicle development cycle to keep up with the dynamic customer demand for latest technologies and to be ahead of the competition. Automotive subsystems have to be developed in the least possible time, using minimal resources ... En savoir plus

Atherosclerosis prevalence keeps increasing worldwide because of the sedentary lifestyle and aging of the population. It is a pathology which is characterized by the build-up of plaque on the artery walls. While it has no incidence at the beginning, the blood flow can be severely altered ... En savoir plus

For automotive applications, HARMAN is using simulation and equalization methods to optimize audio systems. The fidelity of an audio system depends on many characteristics like the number of loudspeakers, the speaker packaging as well as the position and orientation of the speakers in ... En savoir plus

Finite element modelling of surgical transducers has been performed and is described. Ultrasonic transducers vibrating at around 25 kHz are used in orthopaedic surgery to cut bone. The high acoustic impedance of the metal blades used in these devices couples energy more efficiently to ... En savoir plus

Periodical architected structures comprising reticulated beams or trusses have proven capable of controlling wave propagation at different frequency scales. Moreover, recent progress in 3D printing techniques has paved the way to their actionable application in various fields, i.e., ... En savoir plus
