The Poisson equation, as implemented in the COMSOL Multiphysics® AC/DC module, solves for the electrostatic potential due to general charge distributions subject to various boundary conditions, very often Dirichlet conditions of constant potential at conductor surfaces. When both the ... Read More

MEMS gyroscopes are typically challenging to model due to the variable length scales present in the device (typically 1000:1) and because the devices themselves are highly sensitive to both environmental and manufacturing process induced deviations from the ideal geometry. In this paper ... Read More

Microfluidics-based mixing has been widely used in various areas such as chemical engineering, biomedical engineering and materials science. The micromixer can be strategies into two categories as passive and active method depending on the mixing principle. Magnetic mixing integrated ... Read More

My research group began applying microchip electrophoresis to fractionation of the rare earths more than a decade ago. The electrophoretic method we applied at microscale was isotachophoresis, which has the ability to quickly concentrate samples by several orders of magnitude while ... Read More

In the manufacture of radiation detectors, high voltage bias is often required. Since the detector is housed inside a sealed enclosure a ceramic to metal seal is used to feed this bias voltage to the detector as well as providing connections for the resulting pulse output from the ... Read More

Reliability and stability of power systems depend on the operation of all system components within specified limits. Voltage measurement transformers take an important place among the power system components and perform their protection and measurement tasks where they are connected. ... Read More

In the design, manufacture, assembly and installation of transformers some of the important requirements are; protection of the environment, operational safety, minimizing maintenance requirements and the risk of fire. Oil insulated transformers have some limitations such as; low ... Read More

Shape and Topology Optimization of Loudspeaker Drivers This paper illustrates the use of formal mathematical optimization techniques for engineering solutions focused towards loudspeaker drivers. Both shape and topology optimization techniques are applied, with the physics ranging ... Read More

Two transmitting planar microcoils (TX1, TX2) and one receiving microcoil (RX) are employed as shown in Fig.1 formed in induction-balance configuration. RX-Coil is positioned in such a way to achieve primary field suppression in RX-Coil’s region. Meaning, a magnetic cavity is created in ... Read More

The present work introduces a new methodology, based on COMSOL Multiphysics® Application Builder, to account for the “beam trapping” effect in multiphysical modelling of laser welding. Incident intensities involved in laser welding processes are high enough to induce material ... Read More
