This presentation gives an overview of the Structural Mechanics Module and other modules of interest for structural analysis. It demonstrates which solid mechanics problems can be simulated and which study types can be solved. Advanced...
A piezoelectric transducer can be used either to transform an electric current to an acoustic pressure field or, the opposite, to produce an electric current from an acoustic field. These devices are generally useful for applications that...
Planar photonic waveguides in silica (SiO2) have a great potential for use in wavelength routing applications. The major problem with these kinds of waveguides is birefringence. Anisotropic refractive indices result in fundamental mode...
In massive forming processes like rolling or extrusion, metal alloys are deformed in a hot solid state with material flowing under ideally plastic conditions. Such processes can be simulated effectively using computational fluid dynamics,...
This model refers to a portion of the vascular system of a young child - the upper part of the aorta artery. The blood vessels are embedded in a biological tissue (the cardiac muscle) and, during the flow of blood, pressure is applied to...
Small heating circuits find use in many applications. For example, in manufacturing processes they heat up reactive fluids. The device used consists of an electrically resistive layer deposited on a glass plate. The layer causes Joule...
In a peristaltic pump, rotating rollers squeeze a flexible tube. As the rollers move along the tube, the fluid in the tube follows the motion. The main advantage of the peristaltic pump is that no seals, valves or other internal parts...
This is an overview presentation on the elastic waves and piezoelectric modeling features of COMSOL Multiphysics. The focus here is on piezo-features and especially COMSOL's strength in that you are allowed to mix dielectric, elastic,...
The conditions within gas turbines are extreme. The pressure can be as high as 40 bar, and the temperature more than 1000 K. Any new component must therefore be carefully designed to be able to withstand thermal stresses, vibrations and...
These models are used for an introduction to structural mechanics modeling using the structural mechanics module. The following features are introduced: - The Fundamentals: A Static Linear Analysis - Parametric study - Including...
