Simulation of the Acoustic Environment for the Manufacture of Graded Porosity Materials by Sonication

C. Torres-Sanchez, and J. R. Corney
University of Strathclyde, United Kingdom

Many materials require functionally graded cellular microstructures whose porosity is engineered to meet specific requirements of diverse applications. It has been shown in previous work that the bubble growth rate of a polymeric foam can be influenced by the surrounding acoustic ... Read More

Modeling, Simulation, and Optimization of Piezoelectric Bimorph For Broadband Energy Harvesting

N. Chen [1], V. Bedekar [1],
[1] Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro, TN, USA

The objective of this research is to design a millimeter scale broadband energy harvester device through the use of a multi-cantilever beam approach with a non-linear geometry. In this research, we use COMSOL Multiphysics® software to design, simulate and analyze the voltage and power ... Read More

Simulation of a Climate Chamber with Rapid Temperature and Humidity Response for Small-Angle Neutron Scattering

L. Holitzner [1],
[1] Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI), Villigen, Switzerland

We have developed a small environmental chamber to expose a sample to adjustable climate conditions. This climate chamber will be used as sample environment for small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments. SANS is a favorable measuring method, to explore structural changes on the ...

Modeling of a Diffraction Grating Coupled Waveguide Based Biosensor for Microfluidic Applications

Y. Wu [1], M. L. Adams [1],
[1] Auburn University, Auburn, AL, USA

Grating couplers are a common optical component for introducing light into chip-based photonic structures. They are used extensively for optical interconnects and optical device integration. A microfluidic diffraction grating coupled waveguide (MDGCW) biosensor applies a grating coupler ... Read More

Piezoelectric Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) Device with Simulated Poling Condition

R. Xu [1], M. Guizzetti [1], K. Astafiev [1], E. Ringgaard [1], T. Zawada [1],
[1] Meggitt A/S, Kvistgaard, Denmark

FEM (Finite Element Method) modelling software such as COMSOL Multiphysics® can be a powerful tool for modelling the behavior and response of piezoelectric materials and devices [1]. Devices based on piezoelectric crystals are particularly well suited, because the polarization magnitude ... Read More

Time-Resolved Optical Tomography in Preclinical Studies: Propagation of Excitation and Fluorescence Photons.

F. Nouizi[1], R. Chabrier[1], M. Torregrossa[2], and P. Poulet[1]
[1]Laboratoire d’Imagerie et de Neurosciences Cognitives, Straßbourg, France
[2]Laboratoire des Sciences de l'Image, de l'Informatique et de la Télédétection, France

We present time-resolved methods that rely on near-infrared photons to image the optical properties and distribution of fluorescent probes in small laboratory animals. The coupled diffusion equations of excitation and fluorescence photons in highly scattering tissues were solved using ... Read More

Design, Simulation and Optimization of Bimorph Piezoelectric Energy Harvester

T. Desai [1], R. Dudhe [1], S. Ayyalusamy [1],
[1] Manipal University, Dubai, UAE

Piezoelectric energy conversion has received great attention for vibration-to-electric energy conversion over the last five years. A typical piezoelectric energy harvester is a unimorph or a bimorph cantilever located on a vibrating host structure, to generate electrical energy from base ... Read More

Design of Next Generation Mid-infrared Fiber Optics

X. Ji [1], R. Page [2], V. Gopalan [1],
[1] Pennsylvania State University, State College, PA, USA
[2] Pacific Lutheran University, Tacoma, WA, USA

Optical fibers that can deliver mid-infrared light in a wide wavelength range are in high demand due to their significant potentials in sensors, chemical imaging, optoelectronics and nonlinear optics applications. Semiconductors such as Ge, ZnSe and Si are good infrared-transparent ... Read More
