The paper presents a method of extraction of electrical equivalent circuit of a one port surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonator from the results of simulation based on finite element method (FEM) using COMSOL Multiphysics software. A one port SAW resonator consists of large number of ... En savoir plus

COMSOL Multiphysics® was used to evaluate the performance of a woofer coupled to an automotive door. Two uses cases were considered: rigid and non-rigid door structures. Using the Structural Mechanics Module, the speaker membrane displacement was computed for both cases from 20Hz to 500 ... 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 ...

One of the main design questions in loudspeaker enclosures concern vibrations reduction. An ideal cabinet would be infinitely rigid, so a section of an engineer work is focused on this goal. Solutions depend by loudspeaker system audio field: Line Arrays, Automotive environments or hi ... En savoir plus

The evaluation of defect size and nature are two most controversial topics in ultrasonic flaw detection. The operation consists of an application of ultrasonic waves to pipes in order to detect metal loss and other defects in the pipe wall due to corrosion and other degradation ... En savoir plus

Position sensors have several applications in the automotive sector. Some of the common examples include automatic gear shifter module, seat position adjustment and accelerator-pedal position modules etc. Because of extreme weather condition, such as dust, humidity and moisture and ...

MEMS Pressure sensors work on the principle of mechanical bending of thin diaphragm under applied load over diaphragm area. The sensitivity of diaphragm is crucial to efficiency of the sensor. It is defined as the increase in deflection of diaphragm as a result of increase in pressure ... En savoir plus

Self-heating is a problem to consider for Ultrasound Imaging probes. Since the probe is in contact with the skin, it’s necessary to find a solution to lower the front face temperature in order to avoid patient discomfort, even at the most demanding operating condition. One solution ... En savoir plus

High frequency ultrasound (100-1000 MHz) has been used in microscopy since the 1970s. The main imaging component, the acoustic lens, is commercially available. The resolution, working distance, and focal length depend on the structure of a lens, which is unique for each produced lens. ... En savoir plus

Daily application of a low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) regimen has been shown to have positive effects on bone fracture healing. Although LIPUS treatment can induce cellular responses supporting bone repair, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Further in vitro ... En savoir plus
