The Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI) is an international center for research and consulting that investigates the generation of building vibration due to infrasound. They aim to recommend countermeasures to mitigate low-frequency sound waves at levels of sensitivity, intrusion, and ... Read More

The buzzing sound you sometimes hear when walking past high-voltage transmission lines is caused by transformers used for regulating voltage levels. Standard performance and safety regulations require that the noise level be kept within a certain range. In this story, read about how a ... Read More

FUJIFILM Dimatix, a top producer of commercial inkjet printheads, uses multiphysics simulation to develop MEMS actuators, which their newest ink deposition projects are based on. Chris Menzel, a principal scientist on the research team at FUJIFILM Dimatix, studies printhead actuation to ... Read More

In this Q&A, Michele Colloca of Sonion discusses the main challenges in designing hearing aids and how modeling and simulation helps accelerate R&D. Sonion is a global leader in designing and manufacturing components for hearing instruments and for the professional audio segment. Read More

Electrostatic transducers offer enhanced clarity, less distortion, and a wider bandwidth than transducers in conventional dynamic-driver headphones, but they are only seen as high-end alternatives. The precise manufacturing requirements make electrostatic transducers prohibitively ... Read More

Historically, difficulties in modeling and predicting combustion instability have led engineers to costly physical testing, or even to scrap the system entirely. Sean Fischbach and the research team at NASA used the COMSOL Multiphysics® software to model chamber gas dynamics and the ... Read More

Endress+Hauser, a global leader in measurement instrumentation for industrial process engineering, is using multiphysics simulation to maintain and improve the performance of flow sensors, while adapting these sensors to operate in the water, food, life sciences, and oil & gas ... Read More

Power grids need to be properly maintained in order to protect them from system failure. Engineers at ABB use multiphysics simulation to design instrument transformers and sensors that can withstand overvoltages and be used in submersible underground vault applications. Read More

Tectonic Audio Labs used electromagnetics, mechanical, and acoustics simulation to develop a state-of-the-art balanced mode radiator (BMR) speaker for use in a virtual reality (VR) headset for Valve Corporation. Read More

Using structural modeling and optimization, Raychem RPG designed an autotensioning device and modular cantilever for catenary and contact lines used in overhead equipment (OHE) devices. The devices will be used to help revitalize the Indian railway network. Read More
