Acoustics and Vibrations

Multiphysics Modeling of Sound Absorbing Fibrous Materials

T. G. Zielinski [1]
[1] Institute of Fundamental Technological Research, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland

Many of fibrous materials are very good sound absorbers, because the acoustic waves, which propagate in air and penetrate a fibrous layer, interact with the fibers so that the wave energy is dissipated. The dissipation is related to some viscous and thermal effects occurring on the micro ... Read More

Parametric Simulation of PZT Diameter to Hole Ratio for Optimized Membrane Displacement

A. Arevalo [1], D. Castro [1], D. Conchouso [1], I. G. Foulds [2]
[1] Computer, Electrical and Mathematical Sciences and Engineering (CEMSE), King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Saudi Arabia
[2] The University of British Columbia, School of Engineering, Okanagan Campus, Saudi Arabia

For our simulation we used the Piezoelectric Devices interface. The structure was set with (clamped) fix constraint boundaries to both ends. The bottom electrode was set to be the ground for the electrostatic physics and the top electrode was set to be a Terminal with potential of 10V. A ... Read More

COMSOL Multiphysics® Software for Modeling STW Devices

V. Plessky [1], V. Yantchev [2]
[1] GVR Trade SA, Gorgier, Swizterland
[2] Individual Consultant, Sofia, Bulgaria

Electroacoustic resonators employing surface acoustic waves (SAW) are commercially widely used in RF filters, low noise frequency sources as well as various sensors. In all of these applications the resonance quality factor appears to be a limiting performance factor. Quite often ... Read More

Loudspeaker Simulations in a Car Cabin

F. Malbos [1], M. Bogdanski [2], M. Strauss [2]
[1] Harman France, Paris, France
[2] Harman Becker Automotive Systems, Straubing, Germany

The goal of this study is to improve the audio simulation accuracy for automotive applications. COMSOL® Acoustics Module and LiveLink™ for MATLAB® were used to simulate the sound pressure generated by a loudspeaker in a car cabin. A comparison between simulated and measured sound ... Read More

Simulation of Active Underwater Cylindrical Acoustic Antenna

R. Lardat [1],
[1] Thales Underwater Systems, Sophia Antipolis, France

The simulation of a large acoustic cylindrical antenna made of numerous identical transducers is very often out of reach in terms of computational cost. Therefore the usual design procedure consist in optimizing the transducer standing alone, either in free field arrangement or sitting ... Read More

MEMS Electrostatic Acoustic Pixel

A. Arevalo [1], D. Conchouso [1], D. Castro [1], I. G. Foulds [2],
[1] Computer, Electrical, & Mathematical Sciences & Engineering, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Thuwal, Saudi Arabia
[2] The University of British Columbia, School of Engineering, Vancouver, BC, Canada

The growth of the electronics industry demand better components for the electronic systems. Such components need to be improve to keep up with the evolution of the digital era. The loudspeaker design has not been changed for almost a century [1-5]. The acoustic transducer is the last ... Read More

Finite Element Analysis into Eigenfrequencies of a Total Hip Stem with Different Levels of Loosening

T. Bender [1], M. Sass [1], W. Mittelmeier [1], R. Bader [1], D. Kluess [1]
[1] Department of Orthopaedics Research Laboratory for Biomechanics & Implant Technology, University Medicine Rostock, Rostock, Germany

A finite element model of a total hip replacement (THR) has been developed from the approach of modal analysis. The model is capable of determining the first 15 Eigenmodes of a THR with an artificial bone model. The model was equipped with several different defects to simulate a ... Read More

Ultrasound-assisted Microfluidic Devices: Insights and Optimization of Sono-microreactors

F. J. Navarro-Brull [1], P. Poveda [2], J. Ramis [2], R. Gómez [1],
[1] Departament de Química Física, Universidad de Alicante, Alicante, Spain
[2] Departament de Física, Enginyeria de Sistemes i Teoria del Senyal, Universidad de Alicante, Alicante, Spain

Possible drawbacks of microreactors are inefficient reactant mixing due to the predominance of laminar flow and clogging (when solid-forming reactions are performed or solid catalyst suspensions are used). Ultrasound has been successfully implemented not only to prevent these problems ... Read More

PA Loudspeaker System Design Using Multiphysics Simulation

R. Balistreri [1],
[1] QSC Audio Products, LLC., Costa Mesa, CA, USA

This paper utilizes lumped circuits equivalent and pressure acoustics to simulate the behavior of a PA loudspeaker in order to improve its design. Read More

PVDF Piezoelectric Nanofibers as Hair Cell Substitutes: A Feasibility Study

C. R. Pérez [1], J. J. Santiago-Avilés [2],
[1] Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA
[2] Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA

Sensorineural hearing loss is the most common sensory deficit in the world, and within this category damage or loss of the primary sensory cells of the inner ear, known as hair cells is the most common cause [1]. Partial hearing loss is addressed by the use of hearing aids, electronic ... Read More
