Optimization of Loudspeakers

A.J. Svobodnik1, T. Nizzoli 1, F.L. Redl 1
1Mvoid Group, Karlsruhe, Germany

Loudspeakers, specifically electrodynamic transducers with enclosures, are used almost everywhere in our life. Transportation of acoustic information is vital for humans since the very beginning of the human evolution. Hence, reproduction of acoustics has a long tradition in engineering ... Read More

Static Magnetic Localization of Capsule Endoscopes: A Differential Method

S. Zeising1, K. Ararat1, A. Thalmayer1, G. Fischer1, J. Kirchner1
1Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), Germany

Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) is a less invasive alternative to conventional endoscopy. In WCE, a patient swallows a small capsule equipped with a camera, allowing a video of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) to be captured for diagnostic analysis. To ensure an accurate diagnosis and ...

Implementation of an Optimization Method for Inverse Heat Conduction and Sensor Position Correction

R. Dalshad1, N. Perakis2, M. Pfitzner1, O. J. Haidn2
1Institute for Thermodynamics, Bundeswehr University Munich, 85577 Neubiberg, Germany
2Chair of Turbomachinery and Flight Propulsion, Technical University of Munich, 85748 Garching, Germany

Heat conduction problems can be divided into direct and inverse problems. In direct problems, the thermal boundary condition (heat flux or temperature) is given and its effect is calculated, while for inverse problems the boundary condition is determined based on its effect. For some ... Read More

Non-linear analysis of shroud expansion

Ganesh Bhoye1, Ishant Jain1, Pallabi Sarkar1, Sunita Mohapatra1
1Raychem Innovation Center, Vadodara, India

Shroud is used to provide protection against dirt or foreign substance gathering on cable gland assembly. Mostly they provide mechanical impact resistance and serve as additional protection. The existing shroud is made up of Polyvinylchloride which is inherently a self-extinguishing ... Read More

Implementation of Optimization Method for Inverse Heat Conduction and for Sensor Position Correction

R. Dalshad1, N. Perakis2, M. Pfitzner1
1Institute for Thermodynamics, Bundeswehr University Munich, Germany
2Chair of Turbomachinery and Flight Propulsion, Germany

In this work the implementation of an optimization method [1, 2] for inverse heat transfer and for the sensor position correction, such as thermocouples, in COMSOL Multiphysics®and LiveLink™ for MATLAB® is presented. The inverse method is used to determine the unknown boundary condition ... Read More

Direct Optical Surface Roughness Modeling

T. Tran1, S. Peana1, A. V. Kildishev1
1Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA

Optical devices are generally simulated using ideal structures. These ideal geometries are critical in finding major features of the optical response. Unfortunately, fabrication of such devices rarely results in structures that are ideal.[1] In particular, surface roughness is rarely ... Read More
