The Application Gallery features COMSOL Multiphysics® tutorial and demo app files pertinent to the electrical, structural, acoustics, fluid, heat, and chemical disciplines. You can use these examples as a starting point for your own simulation work by downloading the tutorial model or demo app file and its accompanying instructions.
Search for tutorials and apps relevant to your area of expertise via the Quick Search feature. Note that many of the examples featured here can also be accessed via the Application Libraries that are built into the COMSOL Multiphysics® software and available from the File menu.
This example models heat generation in a beam-like structure subjected to small amplitude vibrations. The model computes the linear elastic response in the frequency domain. The transient heat-transfer analysis simulates the slow-rising temperature in the beam using the heat generated ... Read More
In this example, a tensile test is simulated at four different strain rates. The Johnson–Cook hardening law is used to model the strain rate dependency of the plastic hardening. The temperature distribution and thermal expansion caused by the heating generated by the plastic ... Read More
This example shows how to perform a fatigue analysis of a structure subjected to random vibrations. Times to failure using the cycle counting models according to Bendat and Dirlik are compared. Read More
In a gearbox, vibrations due to gear rattling and bearing misalignment are well known sources of noise. In this example, two shafts connected through a pair of gears are considered. The shafts are supported on roller bearings at their ends. Initially, the driven shaft is unloaded and the ... Read More
This example is an extension of a model used to study the vibration and noise in a 5-speed synchromesh gearbox in a manual transmission vehicle. In this version of the model, a detailed representation of a roller bearing is used instead of hinge joints with elastic stiffness. First, the ... Read More
The eigenfrequencies of a rotating blade are studied in this benchmark. It shows how stress stiffening and the combined effect from stress stiffening and spin softening affects the fundamental eigenfrequency. High rotational speed in rotating machineries can result in centrifugal forces ... Read More
This benchmark demonstrates how to use the Beam interface in the Structural Mechanics Module. It calculates the deformation, section forces, and stresses in a cantilever beam as well as a number of eigenfrequencies. It also illustrates how to use the Beam Cross Section interface to ... Read More
A common verification problem for geotechnical problems is a shallow stratum layer of clay. In this example a vertical load is applied on the clay strata and the static response and the collapse load are studied. The clay is modeled as an elastic-perfectly plastic material and the ... Read More
This model shows how to include the nonlinear (large signal) behavior of certain lumped components in a simplified loudspeaker analysis. The mechanical and electrical system is modeled using an equivalent electrical circuit. The large signal compliance CMS(x) and force factor BL(x) are ... Read More
This model serves the purpose of validation and verification of the Linear Elastic Material, Layered model in the Shell interface. In COMSOL Multiphysics, composites are analyzed either based on Layerwise 3D elasticity theory through the Layered Shell interface or based on FSDT-ESL ... Read More
