In this paper, we report FEM studies of the effect of unwanted interfering structural vibrations on the performance of an underwater Acoustic Vector Sensor (AVS) performed in the COMSOL Multiphysics simulation tool. An AVS is a compact sensor that measures a four-dimensional vector ... Read More
Beams-driven structures are structures that use beams to support their weight. The beams are typically arranged in a way that distributes the weight of the structure evenly. Beams-driven structures are often used in buildings, bridges, and other complicated structures. Beams-driven ... Read More
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been widely recognized as an essential tool that enables the imaging of surface, measuring and localizing many different forces and becoming a standard technique for force spectroscopy at the nanoscale. While conventional AFM is well-developed, recent ... Read More
Acoustic emissions generated by active defects in structures, like bridges, aircraft, and pipelines, play a crucial role in detecting flaws in their structural integrity by non-destructive evaluation techniques. Commercially used acoustic emission (AE) sensors are made of piezoelectric ... Read More
Modern electrical vehicle motors require a precise current control over the rotation of the rotor. These motors have high performance, but their control requirement impose a precise knowledge of the rotor angular position. Rotor position sensor (RPS) are traditionally designed using ... Read More
Calibration drift of temperature sensors is a well-known problem which adversely affects process control, particularly at high temperatures. Some new approaches are being developed [1,2], but degradation of resistive sensor elements is hard to prevent. To overcome this, graphene, which ... Read More
An electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor was developed in a smartphone-based platform using a disposable disk-shaped carbon electrode. A time-varying square waveform potential was applied to the working electrode, and the current and ECL intensity data were measured. The applied ... Read More
The objective of this work has been to realize a feasibility study of a cooling device for a SQUID sensor using liquid nitrogen flowing through micro channels. The design consists of an epoxy cylindrical vacuum vessel skewed by a silicon microchannel heat sink. The SQUID sensor is ... Read More
The design of highly-sensitive thermoelectric microfluidic sensors for the characterization of biochemical processes is an important area of engineering research. This study reports three-dimensional numerical analysis of the critical design parameters of a continuous-flow biosensor with ... Read More
This work computationally characterizes a new bipolar electrochemical sensing scheme recently developed for inexpensive detection of heavy metals in water. The sensing scheme employs a two-step optical anodic strip voltammetry protocol that couples a closed bipolar electrochemical cell ... Read More
