Energy harvesting from ambient vibrations has become an interesting topic for powering wireless sensor networks. Resonant microdevices based on MEMS have become of central importance at low frequency. The power produced at resonance is at least one order of magnitude larger than off ... Read More
Matthias Richwin joined KOSTAL, a worldwide automotive first-tier supplier, in 2003 where he started working on the design of optical sensor systems. In 2007 he took over responsibility for simulation methods in the series product development and since then leads the simulation ... Read More
The detection of early corrosion is a key issue to mitigate the damage induced by metal corrosion. The optical fiber corrosion sensor based on a side-polished polarizer is realized recently. The polarizer is fabricated by sputtering a Fe film on a side-polished single mode fiber. The new ... Read More
Sensors for industrial applications require electro-magnetic compatibility protection elements. It is an advantage to incorporate the protection elements directly in the application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). These protection elements however experience significant heating. It ...

The research project under which the COMSOL simulations are performed deals with multilayer and fine thermal control of an optical reference cavity for space applications. The cavity, made of Ultra Low Expansion glass (Corning ULE), must be kept close to the zero expansion temperature of ... Read More
Strain gauges have been extensively used for detecting strain in various applications. Double-ended tuning fork (DETF) strain gages present better performance characteristics than standard foil gauges, including higher sensitivity, smaller size and higher resolution. This study focuses ... Read More
The constitutive properties of a paperboard side-notched composite loaded vertically were determined in inverse method (IM) using a single component of measured displacement data. The cost function, which is the difference between the measured v-displacement and the reconstructed ... Read More
The Huygens Atmospheric Structure Instrument (HASI) was designed to characterize the physical properties of the lower atmosphere and surface of Titan, the planet-size moon of Saturn. The Relaxation Probe (RP) sensor on the Huygens probe, determined the electrical conductivity in the ... Read More
We present an efficient method to compute efficiently the general solution (Green's Function) of the Poisson Equation in 3D. The method proves its effectiveness when dealing with multi-scale problems in which lower dimensional objects, such as nanotubes or nanowires (1D), are embedded in ... Read More
Silicon solar cells are produced in a series of different process steps in which wet-chemical etching and rinsing steps have a considerable influence on the quality of the wafers. Etching baths are used for surface structuring or intended etch back. Examples therefore are texturing, ... Read More
