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
This paper describes the design of an ultrasonic transducer using different lead free piezo-electric materials and evaluates their performance with different glucose levels in the human blood. COMSOL Multiphysics 4.2a was used for the simulation study using 2D axis symmetric model of ... Read More
We present a detailed 2D COMSOL Multiphysics® model used to determine and improve the conversion efficiency in a liquid-metal microfluidics-based portable energy transducer. To date, most work on power generation technologies has focused on the optimization of existing technologies, and ... Read More
Many industrial applications require special treatments for fluid products, such as: deagglomeration, dispersion, homogenization, emulsion, special mixing or even catalysis of chemical reactions. Such effects can be obtained through cavitation in a closed ultrasonic reactor, in which it ... Read More
Column Loudspeakers employ multiple drivers to get close to a radiating line source. A line source gives several acoustic advantages versus a point source, especially in highly reverberant environments. This property particularly has made column loudspeakers the preferred solution in ... Read More
Here we optimize the geometry: proof mass length Lm to total length L, thickness of the piezoelectric material (Tp) to total cantilever thickness (T) for obtaining the maximum stress distribution (Smax), output voltage (Vout) and power performance (Pout) of the unimorph Cantilever beam ...

A COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation was used to simulate the behavior of a micro-membrane (Acoustic Pixel) to be used as a potential acoustic transducer. The MEMS and Piezoelectric devices interfaces were used to simulate such transducer. A four-cantilever spring configuration is initially ... Read More
For non-imaging wearable ultrasound applications Novioscan is developing piezoelectric MEMS transducers. These transducers consist of a large array of micromechanical silicon membranes with piezoelectrically actuated regions to generate an out-of-plane displacement causing a pressure ... Read More
The traveling wave ultrasonic vibration disks for dispersion of particles were designed by using of FEM analysis. The vibration disks are required specific vibration pattern, which contains three nodal lines. The vibration disk thickness was calculated to be matched the resonance ... Read More
New emerging trends in the MEMS market are linked to the availability of small, reliable and miniature sensors for harsh environment applications to increase penetration in all application fields, considering very wide operating condition ranges. These trends are pushed forward by the ... Read More
