Temperature effect on Eigenfrequency

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello!

I am a master student doing a simulation of a ophononic crystal in Comsol 5.2.

I use Solid mechanics and heat transfer in solids moduls.

The model is a simple phononic crystal, square lattice, that have a boundaty heat source and surface emmision. I have study 1 to solve for eigenfrequency and study 2 to solve for heating, study 2 is time dependent.
The results looks good i get the complete band structure and i can see heating of the model.

The problem i have is to connect this two studies to eachother, i want to see how the band stucture change when the model gets heated.

For example, t=0, T=293K results in one band structure
t=5, T=350K should result in another looking band structure and so on.

With kind regards
Olivier

Hi Oliver,
this is indeed not straightforward. The reason is that the eigenfrequency solver cannot take dynamic data sets as input (for example a vector of time steps). It can only take one linearization point. Luckily, you can work around this by clever usage of a parametric sweep. See the attached example:
