Even though failure due to the presence of flaws, inclusions, cracks or crack like defects has been observed in structural components operated under magnetic fields. The creation of the ferrous man-made structures, however, the formulations of various fracture theories and the ... En savoir plus

An Acoustic Vector Sensor (AVS) is a compact device used for finding azimuthal as well as elevation angle of an acoustic source using particle velocity and pressure measured at the acoustic center of the device. There are mainly two types of AVS; namely P-P and P-U based AVS. P-P based ... En savoir plus

INTRODUCTION: Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) are fabricated with an in-plane fabrication technology. Out-of-plane structures can be designed to be assembled to provide thermal and electrical isolation from the substrate [1 -3]. These isolations can potentially improve the ... En savoir plus

Transient eddy current (TEC) technique is being developed for detection of flaws located at depth within multilayer aluminum structures. The present work involves finite element modeling using COMSOL Multiphysics software to simulate different types of probes by changing some of these ... En savoir plus

Possible drawbacks of microreactors are inefficient reactant mixing due to the predominance of laminar flow and clogging (when solid-forming reactions are performed or solid catalyst suspensions are used). Ultrasound has been successfully implemented not only to prevent these problems ... En savoir plus

Ultrasonic based cleaning process, widely used in various industries, mainly utilizes the cavitation effect to achieve contamination removal. For a given set of ultrasonic tank parameters, such as cleaning fluid, temperature, frequency etc, the cavitation effect is largely impacted by ... En savoir plus

FEM (Finite Element Method) modelling software such as COMSOL Multiphysics® can be a powerful tool for modelling the behavior and response of piezoelectric materials and devices [1]. Devices based on piezoelectric crystals are particularly well suited, because the polarization magnitude ... En savoir plus

This work enunciates the principles of SAW design from a physical perspective, examining the standard engineering modelling assumptions in some detail. An integral form analytical expression based on 2D elastic isotropic theory is validated against a COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation, ... En savoir plus

Loudspeaker drivers are energy transducers: their main goal is to efficiently convert electrical energy to acoustic energy (sound), through the movement of mechanical parts. As such, they are prime candidates for the application of multiphysics methods and tools. The talk will outline ... En savoir plus

Many materials require functionally graded cellular microstructures whose porosity is engineered to meet specific requirements of diverse applications. It has been shown in previous work that the bubble growth rate of a polymeric foam can be influenced by the surrounding acoustic ... En savoir plus
