The simulation of a micromirror using polyimide as the structural material is presented. The simulation was used to verify the initial design parameters and to explore the different characteristics of the electromechanical device. For simulation simplicity the electrodes are integrated ... Read More
The MEMS microphone is also called microphone chip or silicon microphone. The pressure sensitive diaphragm is etched directly into a silicon chip by MEMS techniques and is usually accompanied with integrated preamplifier. Most MEMS microphones are variants of the condenser microphone ... Read More
This paper presents a design of polymer based micro heater operating in the temperature range of 200- 250°C which could be operated at low voltage (battery operated). The micro heater has been designed and simulated using COMSOL 4.1, FEM simulation tool. Simulation was performed for ... Read More
Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors (PHWR) play a prominent role in contributing power for the Nuclear Energy Programme in India. In 540MWe type PHWR reactors, there are horizontally placed Liquid Injection Shutdown System (LISS) tubes for injecting poison into the moderator to clamp down ... Read More
Testing and verification is very important to increase reliability of a system. In water analysis its purity is verified using different test methods. Biosensors are very useful to detect the microorganisms present in water. This paper presents a method to detect E.coli bacteria in water ... Read More
Recent developments (1) in thermal metamaterials that enhance the response of thermoelectric generators (TEG) have revived the interest in TEG research. The COMSOL Multiphysics® software offers the unique opportunity to model TEGs with various cooling systems (air, water, etc) and ... Read More
In a first approach towards application of the magnetic frequency mixing technique to microfluidic structures, microplanar coils have to be designed along with sample reservoir. For this, a COMSOL Multiphysics® electrical model along with an analytical calculation is used in order to ... Read More
This paper summarizes the main features of the on-interposer micro-thermoelectric sensors (hereafter denoted by µTES) derived by means of simulations done with COMSOL Multiphysics® software. µTES are thermal sensors based on the Seebeck effect which converts thermal flow into electrical ...

The microscopic size of MEMS devices accounts for strong coupling effects which arise between the different physical fields and forces. Micromirrors are essential parts of microswitches in fiber optic network telecommunication. They are usually 1 to 3 mm in size, fabricated from single ... Read More
The finite-element method (FEM) (COMSOL RF Module) has been employed for modal analyses of porous silicon (PSi) waveguides composed of a guiding layer of low porosity (high refractive index) on a cladding layer with higher porosity (lower refractive index). These can be made by switching ... Read More
