[1]London South Bank University, United Kingdom

Mobile robotics is an active research area, which is rapidly advancing thanks to a variety of technological developments in hardware and sensors. The operating environment and the tasks it must carry out are the main factors influencing the design of a climbing robot for industrial ... Read More

The Effect of Spatial Distribution of Muscle Tissue Barrier Permeability on The Diffusion-Weighted MRI Signal

N. Smith[1], J. Talbott[1], C. Clark[2], M. Hall[1]
[1]National Physical Laboratory, United Kingdom
[2]UCL GOS Institute of Child Health, United Kingdom

Recent simulation-based investigation of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) pathology revealed that changes in permeability have a large effect on the diffusion signal. DMD is known to cause increased permeability of muscle fibres. We use COMSOL  Multiphysics® to investigate the effect of ... Read More

Combining Image-Based Solutions with COMSOL Multiphysics® Simulations

D. Harman[1]
[1]Synopsys Simpleware, United Kingdom

Models generated from 3D image data (such as MRI or CT) are used in COMSOL Multiphysics® to analyse real-world problems and gain insights into biomechanical and industrial processes. We work with customers from different areas, from Life Sciences to Materials Science, to implement ... Read More

A Complete Loudspeaker Design Suite Based on COMSOL® Apps

L. Bianchi[1]
[1]Elettromedia Srl, Italy

Multiphysical simulation is a daily-used tool for loudspeaker design and engineering, however it is still a time expensive process that requires specific modeling capabilities. In order to increase engineering efficiency and to broaden the usage of multiphysical simulation, at ... Read More

Through Metal Communication for Using in Downhole Tool

M. Koraei[1], M. Hjelstuen[1]
[1]SINTEF, Norway

For a specific project in downhole tools for oil and gas wells, we have to weld the tool before shipping and the tool must be programmed during installation on the rig location. For this reason we decided to use magnetic communication and power transmission as well. We have used COMSOL ... Read More

Multiphysics Simulations for Robust Computational Modelling of Stochastic Nanostructures

J. Tyson[1], T. Rahman[1], S. Boden[1]
[1]University of Southampton, United Kingdom

This work explores the implications of wholly random and non-linear nanostructures on electromagnetic wave propagation within a multiphysics simulation environment. Showcased is a way to noticeably bypass the inaccuracies drawn from the linearity dependency of traditional simulation ... Read More

On One Approach to Solving a Multiscale Problem With a Kink

A. Boulbitch[1]
[1]IEE, Luxembourg

This contribution aims to demonstrate a method of application of COMSOL Multiphysics®to solve a multi-scale problem whose essential feature is a kink with an unknown configuration. The search for its shape and details of its structure is the main task of the study. This task I studied ... Read More

Finite Element Analysis of TTFields in Brain Metastasis According to Various Types of Cerebral Edema

S. Pisati[1], P. San[1], E. Lok[1], E. Wong[1]
[1]Beth Israel Deaconess Medical CEnter, USA

Background: TTFields are being investigated for treatment of brain metastasis. Although vasogenic edema is the most common type of associated cerebral edema, other forms of edema might arise within the brain due to prior treatment or other confounding effects. Therefore, we seek to ... Read More
