In heating upgrades, most attention is paid to the boiler. When upgrading to HR++-boilers (eff of 107%) however, difficulties may occur since the high efficiency boilers are designed for water temperatures around 40°C, while the old radiators are designed for water temperatures higher ... Read More
Dielectric elastomers are a promising group of smart materials, which finds application within many fields such as soft robotics, wave-energy harvesting, and loud speakers. A dielectric elastomer consists of a thin, stretchable polymer film sandwiched between two compliant electrodes. ... Read More
Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMI) provide a direct communication link between brain and external devices such as speech synthesizers and robotic prosthesis to restore speech and movement in persons affected by Spinal Cord Injuries or neurodegenerative diseases such as Amyotrophic Lateral ... 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 ...

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
COMSOL Multiphysics® can play a crucial role in jumpstarting undergraduate research programs in physics and engineering at colleges with limited financial support and small faculty size. The engineering physics program at Ramapo College of NJ has 48 majors and 4 full time faculty with ... Read More
The Laser Metal Deposition process (LMD) is a rapid free form fabrication method which can be used to manufacture new near net shape metallic components, to repair used ones or to add functional parts on existing ones. This process is composed by multiple gas streams flowing inside a ... Read More
The mixing characteristics and residence time distributions (RTDs) of a staggered herringbone microchannel have been investigated numerically by COMSOL Multiphysics and by particle tracking algorithms that incorporate diffusion via a random walk. All simulations were validated with ... Read More
At the forefront of a new generation of sensors graphene and graphene composite materials are intensively studied for medical and biosensing applications. The outstanding electrical, mechanical and quantum properties of graphene make them a promising material solution to overlap the ... Read More
Large centrifugal compressors, which are commonly applied in the oil and gas and in the process industry, may fail due to vibrations of the impeller. These vibrations are induced by pressure pulsations in a compressor stage. These vibrations can be especially strong in so-called dense ... Read More
