Modeling of Silicon Piezoresistive Pressure Sensor: Application to Prevent Some Diabetes Complications

F. Kerrour[1], A. Beddiaf[1], M. Benabbas-Marir[1]
[1]MODerNa Laboratory, University Mentouri, Constantine, Algeria

Several analytical solutions describing the mechanical behavior of a silicon micro membrane deflection, perfectly embedded and subjected to a uniform and constant pressure have been proposed. The obtained results are compared with those obtained by using COMSOL software for a rectangular ... Read More

FEM-based Electrical Analysis of 3D-MOSFET

Rishikesh Datar¹, Amogh Patwardhan¹, Shreyas Deshpande¹, Gautam Bacher¹
¹Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, BITS Pilani K K Birla Goa Campus, Goa - 403726, India.

The fundamental and essential component of the semiconductor electronics industry is the Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET). The 2D model of MOSFET is widely reported and available in the application library of COMSOL Multiphysics®. However, the 3D model of MOSFET ... Read More

Combined Analytical and Numerical Modeling of a Resonant MEMS Sensor for Viscosity and Mass Density Measurements

A resonant MEMS sensor for viscosity and mass density measurements of liquids was modeled. The device is based on Lorentz-force excitation and features an integrated piezoresistive readout. The core sensing element is a rectangular vibrating plate suspended by four beam springs. The ... Read More

3D FEM-analysis of a Micromachined Wind Sensor Based on a Self-heated Thermistor Array

A. Talic[1], S. Cerimovic[2], M. Mutapcic[2], R. Beigelbeck[1], and F. Keplinger[2]
[1]Institute for Integrated Sensor Systems, Austrian Academy of Sciences, Wiener Neustadt, Austria
[2]Institute of Sensor and Actuator Systems, Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, Austria

We present COMSOL-based analyses and design optimizations of a micromachined wind sensor. The sensor relies on eight germanium thermistors embedded in a thin silicon nitride membrane, where two orthogonally arranged ensembles, each consisting of four thermistors, are connected to form a ...

Development of Female and Male Thermoregulatory Models using COMSOL

Stefan Gutierrez¹, Juliette Jacques¹, Timothy Rioux¹, John Castellani ¹, Xiaojiang Xu¹
¹US Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine, Natick, MA, US

Introduction Most current thermoregulation models represent the body in significantly simplified forms, e.g., cylinders or spheres. These simple geometries do not fully represent the complexity of bones, organs, etc. contained in the human body. Modern medical technologies allow for more ... Read More

BI Dry 3.0 - A COMSOL App for Simulating Concrete Drying

D. Ericsson¹, J. Carlswärd², M. Emborg², M. Westerholm³, M. Åhs⁴
¹Deflexional AB, Täby, Sweden
²Heidelberg Materials Betong Sverige AB, Stockholm, Sweden
³Heidelberg Materials Cement Sverige AB, Stockholm, Sweden
⁴Lund University, Lund, Sweden

Curing concrete is best achieved by keeping it nearly saturated at an appropriate temperature until all the cement has fully reacted. However, when installing flooring materials that require low relative humidity (RH) in the concrete, the slab needs to dry as quickly as possible. ... Read More

Lumped Model of Condenser Microphone with both Sound and Vibration Sensitivities

René Christensen¹, Gojko Obradovic²
¹Acculution ApS
²Oticon A/S

Condenser microphones will have an electrical output for any displacement of the membrane relative to the back plate, which is usually bound to the microphone housing. For the typical use case, a pressure input will create a pressure difference across the membrane, which causes a ... Read More
