In this paper, a piezoelectric cantilever is investigated using finite element analysis made possible by COMSOL Multiphysics for the generation of electrical energy. A micro power generator was designed to convert mechanical vibrations present in the environment to electrical power. The ... Read More
This paper gives an overview of modelling microsensors on geometry and system level. The focus will be on the generation of the multiphysics reduced order system model and the coupling with package and ASIC models. The method is based on modal superposition. This means all the details of ... Read More
The development of a quantitative nondestructive evaluation method, as an alternative to visual inspection, for inspecting pre-tensioned bolts in fracture critical bridges is presented. In order to understand the ultrasonic behavior of a wide variety of bolt geometries used in bridges, ... Read More
In this paper a thermal electric finite element method (FEM) analysis was used to investigate the thermal properties of individual electrically driven platinum micro-heaters. The geometric optimization for the micro-heater was performed by simulating a wide range of possible geometries ... Read More
This abstract introduces a sensor design for detecting angular acceleration in a single plane using thermal convection. The working principal of the device is based on probing temperature profile changes along a micro-torus caused by angular acceleration. By properly choosing the ... Read More
COMSOL Multiphysics® and the Batteries & Fuel Cells Module are used to create a pseudo 2D model of a Li-ion battery. A sensitivity analysis determines the most sensitive model parameters which are identified by microstructure analysis or optimized by nonlinear least-square regression ... Read More
Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE) ultrasound imaging of cardiac cavities is a known diagnostic and monitoring technique, used during interventional cardiology and electrophysiology procedures. The SOUNDSTAR® Catheter, manufactured by Biosense Webster, Inc., enables locating the ... Read More
Laboratories are essential parts of the engineering education at Universities of Applied Science. Students have the chance to practically apply theoretical concepts known from lectures. Sometimes the lab experiments require additional theoretical background. This is particularly true for ... Read More
Micromachined ultrasound transducers can work as a sensor or actuator for measuring fluid speed and direction, mixing and exciting particles (sonication), taking images (ultrasonography), non-destructive testing and many other purposes in various fields. In this work, a COMSOL ... Read More
Sensitivity of a cantilever-mass based fiber Bragg grating (FBG) accelerometer can efficiently be tailored by altering the distance between the axis of the FBG sensor to the neutral axis of the cantilever. To accomplish that in general, a backing patch is used to mount the FBG on the ... Read More
