The spindle is regarded as the heart of the CNC machine tool. Typically, the spindle is operated using the belt or gear drives to realize the relative motion between workpiece and cutting tool. However, they cannot be operated at high speeds due to power transmission losses, thus ... En savoir plus

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is a growing issue in cars due to the increase in electrification of vehicles. Simulations can be useful for predicting issues at an early stage in the development cycle. This includes investigating EM stray fields that various components generate and ... En savoir plus

We demonstrate cartogram construction, where a geographical map is distorted to represent some measure, for example population, while trying to keep the shape of regions recognizable. We then apply this cartogram construction technique to optimize thermocouple locations. A heat ... En savoir plus

This paper reports the structural solid mechanic simulation of a MEMS out-of-plane platform that provides thermal and electrical isolation for a device built on it. When assemble, the platform lifted for approximately 400 μm above the substrate level. A mechanical stress analysis is then ... En savoir plus

HazRes has developed a gas discharge and dispersion model in COMSOL which takes into account the effects of localized wind profiles and turbulence generated by buildings, structures and terrain on the dispersion of gases in question. The main focus of this work is to develop and provide ... En savoir plus

In this project, we are aiming towards the development of an impedimetric biosensor based on nanoporous silicon structures for the detection of small molecular size and low weight food toxins (like Aflatoxin). Existing sensors for such toxin detection fail to achieve high sensitivity ... En savoir plus

As a key component of MEMS, microprocessor with high computing performances is facing with severe thermal challenge due to the increasing power density, miniaturization as well as higher operating temperature requirements, and thermal management in corresponding fields has become one of ...

Nanoscale structural analysis and design is presented. All the simulations are carried out using a finite element solver and optimization is performed using parameter and topology optimization schemes. It is concluded that COMSOL is effective for analysis and design of nanoscale ... En savoir plus

Due to the increasing demand for hydrogen gas sensors for applications such as automation, transportation, or environmental monitoring, the need for sensitive and reliable sensors with a short response time is increasing. This paper presents an empirical model that studies the ... En savoir plus

Tuberculosis is infectious disease caused by various strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The detection is very difficult because their mechanism is not well understood, and it is mainly based on the γ interferon which is normally secreted by the T-cell of the body. The RD1 region is ...
