Electromagnetic (EM) processes are good candidates for energy saving and CO2 reduction demand. In metallurgy industry, it leads to productivity improvement, maintenance reduction and safety integration. These processes can be classified by their frequency range from several hundred kHz ...

New drug discovery and development is costly; of all compounds investigated for use in humans, only a small fraction is approved for treatments around the world. The pharmaceutical industry has started switching from molecular drugs to protein-based drugs due to high specificity, ... En savoir plus

The Electrical Double Layer (EDL) plays a major role in understanding the interface between a charged surface (e.g. an implant) and ionic liquids (e.g. body fluids). The three classical models of the EDL (Helmholtz, Gouy, and Chapman-Stern) are numerically solved for a flat surface ... En savoir plus

We present examples of the use of COMSOL Multiphysics for the solution of electrical conduction in varistors coupled to the solution of long-term heat-transport through conduction and convection. We fit measured power-loss and impedance data with analytic functions in order to simulate ... En savoir plus

Microplasmas at atmospheric pressure are required in many applications, where treatments in normal ambient, with spatial resolution, are important. The interest on such miniaturized sources has increased due to the availability of a new generation of microwave sources based on high power ... En savoir plus

A new method is proposed to study battery thermal behavior under nature convection condition, especially focusing on temperature rising and inhomogeneity of battery. Using porous electrode theory, an electrochemical and homogenization heat source thermal coupling model and an ... 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

Manuel Collet is a member of the Department of Applied Mechanics of the FEMTO-ST Institute. He graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Ecole Centrale de Lyon in 1992 and obtained his PhD in 1996 about Active control of vibrating structures by mean of semi distributed ...

Terahertz (THz) technology has been receiving expanding interest in the recent years due to its rich scientific and potential application. For instance, a variety of semiconductor phonons resonate in the THz range; macro-biomolecules have unique fingerprint lines in the THz range; less ... En savoir plus

In this paper it is shown how the equivalent circuit parameters of a MEMS resonator can be simply obtained from an eigenfrequency simulation. Additionally, it is demonstrated that the Q-factor as a result of support losses in a MEMS resonator can be determined using a matched boundary ... En savoir plus
