3D Simulation of an Acceleration Sensor with Self-sufficient Energy Supply

L. Weber [1], L. Fromme [1], D. Zielke [2],
[1] University of Applied Sciences Bielefeld, Department of Engineering Sciences and Mathematics, Bielefeld, Germany
[2] University of Applied Sciences Bielefeld, Institute BIFAM, Bielefeld, Germany

Piezo buzzers, made of piezoelectric material glued on a brass plate, are usually used as signaler, but the buzzer can also be used to convert mechanical into electrical energy. If acceleration influences the buzzer, the structure is bent by its mass and a voltage can be measured between ... Read More

Simulation of a Capacitive Sensor for Wear Metal Analysis of Industrial Oils

P. Venkateswaran[1], R. Minasamudram[1], P. Agrawal[2]
[1]Siemens Technology and Services Pvt. Ltd, Bangalore, Karnataka, India
[2]Indian Institute of Technology - Bombay, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

Lubricant oil is used to ensure proper functioning of industrial machinery such as turbines, gears, bearings and compressors. Oil analysis is used to detect and quantify the presence of wear metals and other contaminants in the lubricant of oil wetted systems, by sensing the change in ... Read More

Time Domain Construction of Acoustic Scattering by Elastic Targets Through Finite Element Analysis

A. Gunderson [1], B. Simon [1], A. Bonomo [1], M. Isakson [1],
[1] Applied Research Laboratories, University of Texas - Austin, Austin, TX, USA

Finite element models for acoustic scattering from three dimensional underwater elastic objects, calculated in the frequency domain, are transformed to the time domain through Fourier synthesis using COMSOL Multiphysics®. The time domain mirrors the way in which experimental scattering ... Read More

Design and Simulation of MEMS Micro Heater for DNA Amplification

D. Sharma [1], A. Siddiqua [1],
[1] Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is a recent well researched technique which can be employed to obtain an amplified DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid). A continuous flow polymerase chain reaction with integrated MEMS based design micro heater for DNA amplification is implemented. Temperature ... Read More

Finite Element Modeling of Pulsed Eddy Current Applied to Ferrous and Titanium Fasteners in F/A-18 Airplane Wing Structure

V. K. Babbar[1], P. R. Underhill[1], T. W. Krause[1]
[1]Department of Physics, Royal Military College of Canada, Kingston, ON, Canada

Pulsed eddy current (PEC) is being developed to detect stress corrosion cracks between fasteners on the inner wing spars of the F/A-18 Hornet aircraft. The spars are located below a thick carbon/epoxy wing skin, and so cannot be detected by conventional eddy current techniques without ... Read More

Simulation of an ECT Sensor to Inspect the Reinforcement of Concrete Structures

N. P. de Alcantara Jr. [1], L. Gonçalves Jr. [1],
[1] São Paulo State University - Unesp, Bauru, SP, Brazil

The paper describes the use of COMSOL Multiphysics to simulate an ECT (Eddy Current Testing) sensor, designed to inspect the elements of the reinforcement of concrete structures. The paper describes the steps for the COMSOL simulation, and analyze the results for three configurations ... Read More

Analysis of Electromagnetic Behavior of Permanent Magnetized Electrical Machines in Fault Modes

M. U. Hassan [1], R. Nilssen [1], A. Røkke [2],
[1] Department of Electrical Power Engineering, NTNU, Trondheim, Norway
[2] Rolls Royce Marine AS, Trondheim, Norway

The use of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines (PMSM) as shaft generators is not new in marine vessels propulsion drive trains. Due to risk of fires in stator windings by internal faults, DNV GL requires the shaft generator to be electrically dead without losing propulsion. This ... Read More
