A Study of Seismic Robot Actuation Using COMSOL Multiphysics
Microrobotics has promising applications in microsurgery and microassembly. A challenge in these systems is interfacing with the robot. This project explores crawling robots that are powered and controlled through a global mechanical vibration field. By controlling the frequencies ... Read More
Solving Two-scale Transport Laws During Frying of Foods Using COMSOL Multiphysics
Microscale comprised of the scale of food biopolymers at which biochemical reactions and textural changes take place, and the macroscale was the scale of interaction of polymers with surrounding water, vapor and oil phases. Numerous novel equations such as generalized Darcy’s law based ... Read More
Parameter Optimization for FEM Based Modeling of Singlet Oxygen During PDT Using COMSOL
Singlet oxygen (1O2) is the major cytotoxic agent in photodynamic therapy (PDT). The reaction between 1O2 and tumor cells defines the treatment efficacy. Based on a previously developed model that incorporates the diffusion equation for the light transport in tissue and the macroscopic ... Read More
Simulation of the Spread of Epidemic Disease Using Persistent Surveillance Data
This paper proposes a novel data-mining framework to simulate the spread of epidemic diseases using persistent surveillance data. The framework is formulated by merging the persistent surveillance data about epidemics, geographic information and the dynamics of disease into a heat ... Read More
3D Thermal-Diffusion Analysis on a Moisture Loaded Epoxy Sample
COMSOL Multiphysics was used to simulate an experiment in which the hygroscopic swelling in an epoxy material was measured along a temperature ramp. A simultaneous solution was sought for temperature and moisture concentration distribution in a moisture loaded epoxy sample. Initially the ... Read More

Computational Modeling of Synthetic Jets
A synthetic Jet actuator is a device which moves a fluid in and outside a cavity, through a small aperture, by the continuous oscillation of a diaphragm. The multiphysics interaction between the piezoelectric disk, which deforms due to the alternating voltage, and the fluid makes COMSOL ... Read More
