This paper illustrates how finite element analysis with COMSOL Multiphysics can be used to simulate the mechanical and electrical characteristics of piezoelectric transducers. It also shows how beam transmit plots and performance... COMSOL Conference 2006, Birmingham G. McRobbie1 , P. Marin-Franch2 , and S. Cochrane1 1 University of Paisley 2 Piezo Composite Transducers, Ltd
Simulations of evanescent near field optical lithography (ENFOL) using an embedded metal mask (EMM) show that the resolution and throughput are significantly enhanced over conventional ENFOL, due to the coupling between surface plasmon...

This document presents a way to model the resonances for magnetostrictive Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) devices with the structural mechanics module of COMSOL Multiphysics. Lamb and surface modes were identified by simulation of the... COMSOL Conference 2006, Birmingham G. Scheerschmidt, K.J. Kirk, and G. McRobbie University of Paisley
This paper describes the use of COMSOL Multiphysics to evaluate the propagation of the liquid-solid interface in fixed point crucibles, and the resulting temperature distribution throughout the system as the phase transition...

A numerical model of long-period gratings in photonic crystal fibres is presented and illustrated on the example of a grating fabricated by an electric-arc. Resonant modes responsible for the attenuation bands in the transmission... COMSOL Conference 2006, Birmingham J.S. Petrovic, V. Mezentsev, and I. Bennion Aston University
This paper presents models of microstructures using COMSOL Multiphysics. In particular, solder joints and bumps are investigated and diffusion of species from the substrate to the interface. COMSOL Conference 2006, Birmingham Z. Huang, and P. Conway Wolfson School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering Loughborough University
A multidimensional, multicomponent, isothermal and dynamic model has been developed. It simulates the mass transport phenomena taking place in the fuel/air channel, the porous electrodes and the electrolyte of a planar SOFC. It allows... COMSOL Conference 2006, Birmingham K. Tseronis1 , I. Kookos2 , and K. Theodoropoulos1 1 University of Manchester 2 University of Patras, Greece
In this paper a simulation model of a laboratory scaled induction ladle is presented. The simulation model so developed will make it feasible to receive information about the fluid flow phenomenon and thermal heat transfer. In order to... COMSOL Conference 2006, Birmingham M. Pal1, S. Kholmatov2 and P. Jönsson2 1Centre-University of Wales, Swansea 2Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden
This paper considers the thermal behaviour of an array of micro-silicon thermistors operating within a liquid/gas interface for fluid level sensing applications. COMSOL Multiphysics has been used to model and simulate the transient... COMSOL Conference 2006, Birmingham R.Osborne, and K. Dawkins University of Birmingham
A two-dimensional FSI model of the mitral valve was generated, using an ALE mesh, where valve closure was simulated using contact equations. The simulation predicted a large vortex behind the anterior leaflet during inflow of blood... COMSOL Conference 2006, Birmingham D.M. Espino1 , M.A. Watkins1 , D.E.T. Shepherd1 , D.W.L. Hukins1 , and K.G. Buchan2 1 University of Birmingham 2 Aberdeen Royal Infirmary
The Oldroyd-B family of viscoelastic fluids are notoriously difficult to model numerically. Standard Galerkin finite element methods are prone to numerical oscillations, and solutions break down as fluid elasticity increases. The... COMSOL Conference 2006, Birmingham T.J. Craven, J.M. Rees, and W.B. Zimmerman University of Sheffield
This study examines acoustic wave propagation in air and porous media in three dimensions using numerical models; in particular it looks at the significance of the coupling effect between the air and porous layer. The numerical model... COMSOL Conference 2006, Birmingham L. Kelly, Y.W. Lam, and M. Avis Research Institute for the Built and Human Environment, University of Salford
