We simulate a Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasound Transducer (CMUT) using COMSOL Multiphysics® software. The CMUT is an electromechanical system, therefore, we couple the physics of electrical and structural mechanics to describe its dynamics. We obtain the distributions of the electric ... Read More
There are several industrial applications, like food dehydration, atomization and textile washing among others, that are enhanced by the use of power ultrasonic transducers with flat rectangular plate radiator. These transducers are composed by three main parts, the piezoelectric ... Read More
In this paper, we develop and analyze a standard piezoacoustic Tonpilz-transducer model for underwater acoustics in Comsol by addressing the attendant piezoelectric and pressure acoustic multiphysics phenomena. Transducer properties that are studied and characterized are the center ... Read More
The transducer's construction used for current measurement in medium voltage power lines for current values kA is shown. The transducer involves magnetic circuit with a gap in which a MEMS structure with a movable cantilever is placed. The beam is made of silicon with a NiFe layer. The ... Read More
The objective of the research is to design a broadband energy harvester device through the two-piece non-linear trapezoidal geometry approach. The performance of two piezoelectric PZT-PZN polycrystalline ceramic composition samples are simulated in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, and ... Read More
Electret condenser microphones are one of the most used transducers for a variety of applications. The engineer designing these cartridges must take into consideration many factors to create a design that meets its specifications. Most parts of the design have multiple constraints across ...

MEMS microphones have been widely adopted in a variety of consumer electronic systems. To ensure clear speech transmission and avoid degradation of important signals, careful tuning of microphone port geometry is essential to mitigate wind-induced airborne noise. This additional noise ... Read More
In order to transmit energy in one direction, sonar flextensional transducers are combined into arrays of elements that are spaced a 1/4 wavelength apart. The directionality (front-to-back pressure ratio) is a modest of 6 dB. A single projector that is 1/3 wavelength in size and capable ... Read More
Transducer optimization is a key aspect for successful development and deployment of advanced sensors, especially when designing 3D structures for harsh environments. For piezoelectric transducers, plate thickness determines the operating frequency of the resonator, which is frequently ... Read More
