Modeling and Simulation of MR Dampers Using COMSOL Multiphysics® Software

Y. M. Khedkar[1], S. B. Joshi[2], P. M. Pawar[1], B. P. Ronge[1]
[1]SVERI's College of Engineering, Pandharpur, Maharashtra, India
[2]Brahmdevdada Mane Polytechnic, Solapur, Maharashtra, India

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 ... Read More

Ultrasensitive Mass Sensing Through Coupled Microelectromechanical Resonator Arrays

A. R. Hambarde [1], R. M. Patrikar [1],
[1] Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology, Nagpur, Maharashtra, India

Microelectromechanical coupled resonating arrays are being used for detecting biological and chemical analytes through mass sensing. Such arrays of perfectly identical resonators can be considered as periodic, ordered, non-localized systems. The change in the eigen parameters of the ... Read More
