The Application Gallery features COMSOL Multiphysics® tutorial and demo app files pertinent to the electrical, structural, acoustics, fluid, heat, and chemical disciplines. You can use these examples as a starting point for your own simulation work by downloading the tutorial model or demo app file and its accompanying instructions.
Search for tutorials and apps relevant to your area of expertise via the Quick Search feature. Note that many of the examples featured here can also be accessed via the Application Libraries that are built into the COMSOL Multiphysics® software and available from the File menu.
Composite materials are often used in structural applications because their properties, such as stiffness and strength, can be tailored to meet specific requirements. This makes them attractive alternatives to traditional engineering materials. Composites are also used in applications ... Read More
Delamination or the separation of layers is a common failure mode in laminated composite materials. Various factors, including loading, defects in the material, and environmental conditions, can trigger the initiation and propagation of layer separation. This leads to degraded structural ...

This example illustrates the modeling of ply drop-off in a composite panel. The panel considered for the analysis has three sections–thick, taper, and thin. The thick section plies are divided into the core, top-bottom belts, and dropped plies. The thick section of the panel has sixteen ... Read More
Lamb-wave resonators are useful components for many radio-frequency applications. This example shows how you model an aluminum nitride Lamb wave resonator and perform eigenfrequency and frequency-response analyses to characterize the device. The tutorial uses the Electric Currents in ... Read More
Analyzing resonances is essential when designing loudspeakers. Resonances can originate from various components, with the diaphragm being a significant source. Traditional approaches to controlling diaphragm resonances have different benefits and drawbacks. A more advanced approach is to ... Read More
Layered shell elements, which are used for modeling composite shells, often connected to solid and shell elements in a cladding or side-by-side configuration to represent a realistic structure. For such applications, it becomes important to connect layered shell element correctly and ... Read More
Buckling is a structural instability that can cause a component to fail even when the material remains within the elastic regime. Therefore, determining the critical buckling loads and corresponding mode shapes can be important from a design perspective, even when the applied loads ... Read More
This example demonstrates the bending analysis of a simply supported composite laminate under sinusoidal distributed transverse load. The composite laminate is thick, with a thickness to side length ratio of 1/4. The laminate has three layers in a cross-ply layup. The model is solved ... Read More
