The present work aims to develop a blood pressure sensor using MEMS/NEMS technology. A normal blood pressure detector is used externally, but this work mainly aims for designing an implantable nanotube based sensor for continuous monitoring of blood pressure. The use of COMSOL ... En savoir plus

This paper presents the design and simulation of high sensitivity and fast response capacitive humidity sensor. Generally, the capacitive humidity sensor is made up of parallel electrode, the upper electrode being a grid with various line width and line spacing. A model is simulated ... En savoir plus

The silicon cantilever with the planar coil was applied to the magnetic flux density measurements. The influence of shape and dimensions of planar coil on magnetic energy density was described. In cause of magnetic anisotropy of analyzed silicon structure FEM method and couple field ... En savoir plus

Several analytical solutions describing the mechanical behavior of a silicon micro membrane deflection, perfectly embedded and subjected to a uniform and constant pressure have been proposed. The obtained results are compared with those obtained by using COMSOL software for a rectangular ... En savoir plus

Photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) enables highly sensitive gas detection without optical detectors by directly measuring the sound generated from light absorption. However, the performance of PAS systems strongly depends on the photoacoustic cell’s acoustic design. In this work, we ... En savoir plus

In power electronics applications, microelectronic chips face swift temperature changes during operation, characterized by heat pulses of sub-millisecond duration with temperatures rising by hundreds of Kelvin. Over time, these conditions may lead to degradation in the metallization ... En savoir plus

Large underground mines (LUMs), which constitute over 60% of metal and nonmetal mining operations in the United States, are critical to national infrastructure and materials supply (Bhattacharyya et al., 2023; Gendrue et al., 2021). These mines are characterized by vast entries exceeding ... En savoir plus

A resonant MEMS sensor for viscosity and mass density measurements of liquids was modeled. The device is based on Lorentz-force excitation and features an integrated piezoresistive readout. The core sensing element is a rectangular vibrating plate suspended by four beam springs. The ... En savoir plus

We present COMSOL-based analyses and design optimizations of a micromachined wind sensor. The sensor relies on eight germanium thermistors embedded in a thin silicon nitride membrane, where two orthogonally arranged ensembles, each consisting of four thermistors, are connected to form a ...

Liquid atomization relies on a variety of forces that disturb the surface of the liquid. In the case of flow-blurring (FB) atomization, turbulent structures are induced within the liquid channel to achieve this effect. It is known that the transition from the conventional flow-focusing ... En savoir plus
