Finite element analysis (FEA) can be used to study the electrical properties of conductive ITO thin films. Previous studies have been done on insulating thin films deposited on conductive substrates [1,2]. It was found that changes of electrode size and film thicknesses can cause huge ... Read More
In this work, the production intent design of a motor with controller inside a car seat for head restraint function is analyzed and optimized using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software and the Application Builder. Parameter based multiscale FEA models were developed by using external CAD ... Read More
Column Loudspeakers employ multiple drivers to get close to a radiating line source. A line source gives several acoustic advantages versus a point source, especially in highly reverberant environments. This property particularly has made column loudspeakers the preferred solution in ... Read More
The objective of the research is to design a broadband energy harvester device through the two-piece non-linear trapezoidal geometry approach. The performance of two piezoelectric PZT-PZN polycrystalline ceramic composition samples are simulated in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, and ... Read More
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 ... Read More
The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) is conducting research using infrasound arrays to detect and monitor structures as well as for dynamic structural characterization of large infrastructure. Previous studies have determined that structures radiate acoustic ... Read More
Acoustic metamaterials commonly use Helmholtz resonators to attenuate an acoustic signal at the resonator’s resonance frequency. The resonance frequency is only dependent on the geometry, which is shown by representing the Helmholtz resonator as a mass spring system using the lumped ... Read More
Vibrations and noise of high power transformers have attracted considerable experimental and theoretical interests over last few years [1, 2]. For such transformers operating under high voltage (~ 100 kV) and power (~ 100 MVA), noise generated is significantly attributed to load noise ... Read More
