Most technical systems become smart over time, therefore those systems will have improved safety and comfort functions. An example is a new development by Westfalia-Automotive. A new generation of smart tow bars, equipped with a sensor system, including distance sensors, is able to ... Read More

Simulation of Thermal Elastohydrodynamic Lubricated (TEHL) Gear Contacts

T. Lohner [1], A. Ziegltrum [1], K. Stahl [1],
[1] Gear Research Centre (FZG), Technical University of Munich (TUM), Garching, Germany

Thermal elastohydrodynamic lubricated (TEHL) contacts occur very frequently in drive technology and thus in gear drives. In this presentation, the implementation of a finite element based TEHL simulation approach for gear contacts in COMSOL Multiphysics® software is shown. The physically ... Read More

Lumped Element Multimode Modeling of Balanced-armature Receiver with COMSOL Multiphysics® Software

Wei Sun [1],
[1] Institute of Acoustics, Tongji University, China

For the lack of higher order modes, lumped element (LE) models currently used may be insufficient to predict the system of balanced-armature receiver (BAR). We develop a LE multimode model for BAR in the frequency domain based on the techniques of mode decomposition, truncation, and ... Read More

A Coupled Thermal, Chemical and Mechanical Model using COMSOL Multiphysics® Software

[1] Dalian University of Technology, Dalian, China
[2] University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK
[3] Tongji University, Shanghai, China

Many numerical coupling thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical models for methane hydrate bearing sediments(MHBS) have been proposed to analyze the mechanical behavior of MHBS during methane gas production. However, most of them are based on finite differential method (FDM) or finite volume ... Read More

Stress and Strain of Film on Deformed Polymer–metal

Guibang Cao [1], Xiaolan Xiao [1],
[1] GuangDong university of technology, Guangzhou, China

Polymer–metal is a kind of new composite materials rather than traditional metal packaging materials. It has both features of polymer film and sheet metal. However, the polymer film will damage in the sheet metal forming process. Therefore, we try to established a sheet metal forming ... Read More

Drop Simulation of Disposable Elastomeric Pump Using COMSOL Multiphysics® Software

R. Kapuganti [1], S. Anbazhagan[1],
[1] HCL Technologies, Chennai, India.

Drop test simulation is one of the important tool used for the impact behaviour study of electronic components. It identifies the flaws in design. The reliability and performance of electronic consoles after the drop is a major concern. Devices are expected to continue functioning after ... Read More

Modal Analysis of Elastic Ring Squeeze Film Damper for Small Gas Turbine Engines
