The Transfer Matrix method in the Acoustics Module of COMSOL Multiphysics is used when the whole system can be represented into a sequence of subsystems that interact only with adjacent subsystems. This method is frequently used in mathematics and, particularly, in acoustics. The ... Read More
In the frame of an ESA project, CSEM in collaboration with other partners has developed an innovative Attitude Orbit Control System concept that relies on a Reaction Sphere. We propose to use one unique magnetic bearing Reaction Sphere whose spin axis and angular velocity can be ... Read More
Liquid metal loops are used for heat removal and for the study of certain magneto-fluidic phenomenon like MHD (Magneto-Hydro Dynamic) effects. These loops operate at high temperatures and carry fluids that are invariably toxic in nature. Ensuring the purity of fluid in a closed loop ... Read More
A set of microstructures for in situ stress measurement is presented, based on a lancet principle having dedicated designs for the amplification of dimensional variation induced by internal stress of the materials. The presented technique has an advantage over the traditional rotating ... Read More
Three-dimensional finite element (FE) modeling of magnetic flux leakage (MFL) technique has been performed using COMSOL 3.4 for prediction of leakage fields from surface and sub-surface defects in a 12 mm thick carbon steel plate. The tangential and normal components of leakage fields ... Read More
Recently adsorptive storage has been identified as the most promising low-pressure (3.5 - 4.0 MPa) alternative for storing natural gas for vehicular use. However in order to successfully implement this technology, the filling and discharge characteristics of the adsorbent bed must be ... Read More
In this paper, a piezoelectric cantilever is investigated using finite element analysis made possible by COMSOL Multiphysics for the generation of electrical energy. A micro power generator was designed to convert mechanical vibrations present in the environment to electrical power. The ... Read More
Ultrasonic Testing (UT) is one of the important Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) technique widely used for characterisation of materials as well as detection and characterisation of flaws present in the material used in various industries. There are many different important materials ... Read More
Microheaters have been widely investigated because of their extensive applications in gas sensors, flow rate sensors and other Microsystems. The geometric optimization for the microheater was performed by simulating a wide range of possible geometries using COMSOL Multiphysics, a ... Read More
Atherosclerosis in arteries is caused by the formation of stenosis : fatty depositions, on the artery wall. In current medicine, the practice is to observe the maximum percentage occlusion at any arbitrary cross-section and diagnose the patient on that basis, which might not always ... Read More
