An investigation was undertaken into the suitability of using COMSOL for modeling an aircraft capacitive fuel gauging unit. A model of a sensor immersed in a fluid was developed for rectangular tank geometry with a range of fluid levels and sensor orientation using the electrostatics ... Read More
We are developing a solid state gas sensor that combines a small form factor with the high sensitivity of optical gas detection. The gas sensor is based on an optical resonant microsystem that is penetrated by gas molecules. This microsystem consists of an array of vertical rods in air ... Read More
This paper focuses on the diaphragm design and optimization of a piezoresistive Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) pressure sensor by considering Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) layout schemes. The aim of these studies is to find an optimal diaphragm shape by Finite Element ... Read More
The Fraunhofer Ernst-Mach-Institute (EMI) developed a novel, high-g accelerometer, which is an undamped MEMS device, containing self-supporting piezoresistive elements. The main requirements for such a sensor are high sensitivity, high resonant frequency and a solid mechanical design. ... Read More
In the last decade, the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) has become a very sensitive technique for real-time detection in many application areas. Considering the fiber optic concept and the important needs for analyzing biomolecular reactions through automated and miniaturized components, ... Read More
Introduction In order to understand the detection mechanism of the PZT based nondestructive testing (NDT) technology for interface debonding of CFSTs, numerical simulation on a multi-physical model composed of surface-mounted PZT patches and CFST structural member is established in ... Read More
The role of stretchable electronics systems allows the design of new reconfigurable macro-electronics, that extends a device capability to function as a distributed sensor network which can potentially be used for wearable electronics. At the moment such devices are primarily based on ... Read More
The approach of this project is Modeling a Coriolis Mass Flow-meter (CMF) bases on a Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) device. The "Coriolis mass flow-meter sensor" is modeled using COMSOL Multiphisics® simulation, the Acoustic-Shell Interaction physics interface and coupled by FSI ... Read More
We are investigating gold-plated micromachined silicon integrating cavities for arrays of far infrared Transition Edge Sensor bolometers. We present the results of our simulations and show how we used COMSOL Multiphysics® software to optimize the geometry of the integrating cavity. We ... Read More
The purpose of this paper is to describe numerical electro-thermal simulations of the REMS wind sensor unit and the results obtained by using COMSOL Multiphysics. This device is a hot-film anemometer for 2D wind measurements, which does not have movable parts and is based on the air ... Read More
