A computationally efficient nonlinear constitutive model is developed for magnetostrictive materials using energy minimisation and discrete-energy averaging techniques. Computational time was considerably reduced through a local linearization of the material response and subsequent ... Read More

The optical fiber communication has been popular topics besides robot study nowadays. In the process of the Dense Wave-Length Division Multiplexing (DWDM) study, the dispersion compensate for the traditional optical fiber is difficult to solve for long distance transport information. It ... Read More

Although the Near Field Communication (NFC) concept has been developed for the short distance communication between the NFC-reader antenna and transponder/Tag, yet the requirements of different Automotive OEMs vary drastically. For instance, for the keyless entry into the car based on ... Read More

Ion mobility spectrometry provides fast detection of very low concentrations of chemical substances. Simple instrumentation combined with high sensitivity and high selectivity are the advantages of this technique. One well established field of application is the detection of hazardous ... Read More

A simple proximity sensing circuit is made using magnets actuating reed switches; these switches are wired into a larger circuit that performs auxiliary functions. The success or failure of such systems is a function of their position. A simulation using COMSOL Multiphysics is conducted ... Read More

During a practical course the students compare the measured frequency response of an assembled PCB (Printed Circuit Board) with the simulated data out of COMSOL Multiphysics® software. For this the whole PCB with all components are feed in the simulator and afterwards an eigenfrequency ... Read More

As the importance of nanoparticles is growing more and more, controlling and understanding the properties of nanoparticles became a focus of research. In this field Meyer at al. [1] are researching the GMR effect in granular gels to develop magnetoresistive sensors. The GMR in granular ... Read More

Dielectric elastomers are a promising group of smart materials, which finds application within many fields such as soft robotics, wave-energy harvesting, and loud speakers. A dielectric elastomer consists of a thin, stretchable polymer film sandwiched between two compliant electrodes. ... Read More

This poster presents an evaluation study of a couple of heat trap designs, analyzing the generation of Joule heating and heat dissipation characteristics. Through parametric simulations of the heat traps varying geometries, it is possible to see the generated temperature difference at a ... Read More

Introduction Computer simulations are widely used for the interpretation and inversion of electromagnetic measurements in well logging. Until recently, simulated logs have been computed with approximate 1D or 2D models. By using the COMSOL® RF Module installed on a cluster, we show that ... Read More
