Material Selection and Computational Analysis on DOHC V16 Engine’s Mounting Bracket Using COMSOL Multiphysics
M. V. A. Nag[1]
[1]G.R.I.E.T., Hyderabad, AP, India
Reduction of the engine vibration and the dynamic forces transmitting from engine to the automotive body structure has always been an important part of automotive research. Automobile engineers face the task of creating a mechanism to absorb these vibrations and provide a smooth ride. The usage of Motor Mounts is the best solution for dampening the effects of vibrations and oscillations. This ...

In the field of assessment methodologies, particular importance is given to Non-Destructive Testing Techniques, which aspire to achieve the highest number of information about materials and structures without altering their condition. Ultrasonic Testing exploits the transmission and reflection characteristics of mechanical waves with appropriate frequencies passing through the investigated item. ...
Vibration and Acoustic Analysis of a Trussed Railroad Bridge under Moving Loads

Two finite element models have been developed to investigate the acoustic radiation from a Pratt truss train bridge. The first model was a time dependent structural model that determined the vibration response of the structure due to two wheels, representing a single axle, moving across the bridge at constant speed. This model was expanded to include multiple axles to represent a locomotive. The ...
Cellular Scale Model of Stratum Corneum
R. Santoprete[1], B. Querleux[1]
[1]L'Oréal, Paris, France
To better quantify the impact of the morphological and mechanical properties of the main constituents of the stratum corneum (SC, the outermost layer of the skin) on its overall mechanical behavior, we developed a biomechanical model of the SC at a cellular scale, based on in vitro morphological and mechanical data. The sensitivity analysis quantified the relative impact of the mechanical and ...
Development of Magnetic Field Components for the Polarisation Option of the Neutron Spectrometer FOCUS

We show a new, favourable space-saving method to host a neutron polarizer in the iron-containing monochromator shielding of a time-of-flight spectrometer for cold neutrons. In this poster you can learn e.g., how to create a robust, homogeneous, rectangular magnetic field (here realized by permanent magnet queues inside an iron tube). The time-of-flight spectrometer FOCUS at the spallation ...
Design and Analysis of Multilayered MEMS Microphone Using COMSOL Multiphysics®

[1]Rajalakshmi Engineering College, Chennai, India
In this project, we report a design of MEMS microphone that is based on the application of porous silicon in improving the sensitivity of bulk micro machined capacitive pressure sensors. The property of a low Young’s modulus of porous silicon and its dependence on porosity have been exploited to obtain a higher sensitivity compared to pressure sensors with single crystalline silicon membranes. ...
Simulation of Microfabricated Linear Ion Trap

[1]Aalto University, Department of Micro- and Nanosciences, Espoo, Finland
We present a simplified 3D model that simulates the operation of a linear microscale integrated ion trap. It employs a set of metalized electrodes, which are formed on top of an insulator layer on silicon substrate. The confinement in all three dimensions is provided by the application of the specific AC and DC voltages to the corresponding trap electrodes. The distribution of the trapping ...
Can we use Aquifers to Monitor Magma Chambers? Using COMSOL Multiphysics® to Investigate Subsurface Strain Changes and Their Effect on Hydrological Systems - new
K. Strehlow[1], J. Gottsmann[1], A. Rust[1]
[1]University of Bristol, Bristol, UK
Groundwater-bearing geological layers respond to and modify the surface expressions of magmatic activity, and they can also become agents of volcanic unrest themselves. Interpretations of unrest signals as groundwater responses to changes in the magmatic system can be found for many volcanoes and include a wide range of phenomena and suggested processes to explain them (e.g., Newhall et al., ...
Simulation of Air Flow Through Ventilation Ducts - new
E. Dalsryd[1]
[1]KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden
In this report I study the airflow through ventilation ducts. By numerical simulation, the so-called k-factor has been estimated. The k-factor is the quotient of the airflow volume and the square root of the pressure drop over the duct. A two dimensional axial symmetric model has been used to simulate an iris damper connected to a straight pipe. A three dimensional model has been used to ...
