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.
This example demonstrates how to model moisture transfer and induced swelling in a paperboard roll subject to varying ambient conditions. The material properties of the paperboard are anisotropic. Read More
A load carrying component of a structure is subjected to multi-axial cyclic loading during which localized yielding of the material occurs. In this model you perform a low cycle fatigue analysis of the part based on the Smith-Watson-Topper (SWT) model. Due to localized yielding, you ... Read More
The models simulate the working mechanism of traveling wave thermoacoustic engines. Similary to the standing wave engines, the traveling wave engines make use of the coupling between the fluid motion and the temperature change experienced by the fluid to generate acoustic energy. ... Read More
This model combines pressure acoustics and ray acoustics to perform a full frequency range analysis of the room impulse response of a small smart speaker. The source characterization in the ray tracing model is based on a full multiphysics model of the transducer and compares two source ... Read More
The triaxial test is one of the most common tests used in laboratory soil testing. The soil sample is normally placed inside a rubber membrane and then compressed maintaining a radial pressure. In this model, a vertical displacement and a confinement pressure are applied on the sample ... Read More
This model demonstrates how to set up a phase field damage multiphysics model to predict crack propagation in thermoelastic solids under large deformations. The crack-driving force depends on the principal stresses, which in turn depend on the temperature distribution in the solid ... Read More
This example illustrates how to combine different Creep material models. Here a Norton–Bailey model (primary creep) is combined with a Norton model (secondary creep). This example is a continuation of the model thermally induced creep. Read More
In this example, the External Stress feature in the Solid Mechanics interface is used to provide the material model with the nonsymmetric stress required in the design of an elastic invisibility cloak. The cloak is a domain with special material properties aimed at shielding a region of ... Read More
This model shows how to set up a uniaxial compression test on a prestressed soil sample. Due to uniaxial compression and simple initial stress values, it is possible to determine the vertical yield stress analytically. The soil sample is modeled with soil plasticity and the Mohr–Coulomb ... Read More
In this tutorial model, a step thrust bearing is topology optimized to maximize the bearing capacity. A step thrust bearing consists of a stepped bearing surface on which the end of the shaft rotates. The entire assembly is submerged in a lubricant. The shaft collar is assumed to be ... Read More
