Finite Element simulations are becoming an increasingly powerful tool in the transducer design process. The development of user-friendly software and predefined interfaces able to provide physics setup to predict the loudspeaker complex behavior helps designers in the product development ... Read More
There is an increasing number of applications that requires using the time-dependent analysis of finite amplitude acoustic wave propagation or nonlinear acoustics. This study investigates an efficient finite element based numerical model of microperforated plate absorber using the time ... Read More
As a general definition, the presence of any repeated motion after a regular interval of time is known as vibrations. The basic theory of vibrations is described by the system of forces acting on a moveable and deformable body. The natural phenomena existing in the universe such as ... Read More
Multiphysical simulation is a daily-used tool for loudspeaker design and engineering, however it is still a time expensive process that requires specific modeling capabilities. In order to increase engineering efficiency and to broaden the usage of multiphysical simulation, at ... Read More
Introduction In recent years there has been a focus on using topology optimization in the field of acoustics [1,2], whereas previously the technique has been applied mostly within structural mechanics, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics [3]. This paper describes the mathematical basis ... Read More
MEMS microphones consist of a conductive backplate and a conductive flexible membrane. The backplate and the membrane are at a certain distance from each other to be interpreted as parallel plates of a capacitor. When a bias voltage is applied to the electrodes, membrane deflection ... Read More
Determining an optimal port profile for a vented loudspeaker is still an unsolved problem. Studies that measured distortion content suggest a gently flared port is best, while subjective listening tests suggest that more aggressive flare rates are optimal at low to moderate levels, but ...

SAW devices, in which acoustic wave travels along the surface of a material, are used as filters, oscillators and delay lines in electronic circuits. However, recent research [1] revealed that bulk acoustic waves (BAW) can be nonlinearly generated in LiNO3 SAW device if the drive level ... Read More
