Classical hydraulic dampers are flexible devices that are used to attach a component to a mounting base. Vibration amplitude reduction can be achieved by improving the old technique of suspension by bringing in application of Magnetorheological or Electrorheological fluid in it. Due to ...

Electrical resistivity surveys have been used for many decades in hydro geological, mining and geotechnical investigations. Various types of electrode combinations have been tested. But different array gives different type of response over same sub-surface feature. Response of different ... En savoir plus

This paper presents an application of COMSOL Multiphysics® software in the study of the temperature distribution of a 5kVA three-phase air-cooled transformer. A 3D, steady state model was utilized on the simulations. The interface with the surrounding air was modeled by Newton's Law of ... En savoir plus

We theoretically studied the microwave coplanar line of different geometry based on MgO substrate with a thin (30 nm) ferroelectric layer under the external electric field using the environment of 3D modeling in COMSOL Multiphysics®, RF Module, Frequency Domain. Frequency dependence of ... En savoir plus

The magnetic field gradient produced by an electromagnet gripper head depends on its design. Stochastic Methods offer certain robustness to the design optimization process. In this paper, Improved Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization (IDPSO) searching technique is applied to the shape ... En savoir plus

We will present the issues of a microreactor setup designed for microwave organic synthesis and demonstrate how COMSOL Multiphysics® is used to understand the mechanism of microwave heating and improve the microreactor design. The RF Module was used for the electromagnetics and solid ... En savoir plus

This elaboration presents the Active Magnetic Suspension (AMS) and radial Active Magnetic Bearing (AMB) as a representative of the Active Magnetic Levitation Systems (AMLS). The laboratory test rigs are analyzed in the 2D space. The control algorithm as well as the motion dynamics are ... En savoir plus

In this study, COMSOL®4.2a is used to model a microwave heating process in a TE10 rectangular waveguide. The sample consists of a small cylindrical Ca-alginate gel (D = 8 mm, H = 10 mm) inoculated with bacteria Escherichia Coli K12. The sample is placed along the microwave propagation ...

COMSOL Multiphysics® software was used to simulate and analyze the transmission attenuation spectra of the negative curvature hollow-core fiber (NCHCF) over the wavelength from 2.7 μm to 4.2 μm. The effect of thickness of capillaries and the effect of the distance between the capillaries ... En savoir plus

MRI offers many advantages over other modalities and its lack of ionizing radiation is important for children, but can be limited by the radio-frequency (RF) coils available. This work calculates Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) and homogeneity of the RF transmit field (B1+) when imaging ... En savoir plus
