Viscous damping has a significant effect on dynamic performance of the resonators operating within fluid. This work is aimed to find the viscous damping for MEMS torsional paddle operating in air. Interaction of moving structure with the fluid requires a complicated and challenging ... Read More
The multilayer composite single mass cantilever is a MEMS energy harvester structure. The vibrating structure is under vacuum in hermetic MEMS. However, out-gassing during process integration and fabrication would cause air molecules (e.g. hydrogen, nitrogen, argon, water vapor, oxygen, ... Read More
For the purpose of investigation the inertial behaviour of the crystalline lens, the COMSOL Multiphysics® software was used to create a 2D multi-physics model of the porcine eye globe, by using the Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI). The geometry of the porcine eye model was adapted from ... Read More
The semiconductor industry is always looking for early anticipation of manufacturing risk, pushing the development of Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) modeling of processes. Robust Chip-Package Interaction requires a deep understanding of thermo-mechanical stresses imposed during the ... Read More
This paper focuses on the acoustic modeling and simulation of a simplified minute repeater watch using the Boundary Element Method (BEM). The overarching objective is to optimize the hammer's impact location on the watch's gong (timbre) to enhance both the radiated acoustic intensity and ... Read More
Excessive air damping can be detrimental to the performance of oscillating MEMS components. Complex systems, such as structures in pre-etched cavities or angular comb-drive scanning mirrors, typically require simulations to reliably evaluate the air damping. The simulated and ... Read More
A compression driver is a certain type of electrodynamic loudspeaker which has a phase plug with slits in front of the diaphragm. The slits are narrow enough that the so-called viscothermal effects are of significant importance. In this paper a 2D axisymmetric finite element model of a ... Read More
The two most commonly used membrane profiles for sound reproduction of the high frequency audio band are the dome shape and the annular shape. The annular (also known as ring) shape has some different basic design features if compared to a dome with the same outer size. For example, ... Read More
Introduction: Polymer materials are increasingly used in machine elements such as seals and plain bearings. In particular, PEEK has gained attention for use in wind turbine applications due to its strength and resistance to harsh operating conditions. However, its low thermal ... Read More
Elastomeric elements are currently used as external dampers in many applications to increase the stability of dynamical systems, e.g., rotor-bearings systems. However, the dynamic design of systems embedded with elastomeric dampers is a hard task, since the properties of this kind of ... Read More
