Identify a Cricket Bat’s Sweet Spots with Structural Mechanics Analysis

November 11, 2016

Research into the science behind cricket usually focuses on the performance of the batsmen and bowlers. One area of cricket that lacks in research is the cricket bat itself… 

How to Use Acoustic Topology Optimization in Your Simulation Studies

November 3, 2016

Today, guest blogger René Christensen of GN Hearing discusses the importance of acoustic topology optimization and how to apply it in COMSOL Multiphysics. Topology optimization is a powerful tool that enables engineers to find optimal solutions to problems related to their applications. Here, we’ll take a closer look at topology optimization as it relates to acoustics and how we optimally distribute acoustic media to obtain a desired response. Several examples will further illustrate the potential of this optimization technique.

Optimizing a Tunable Organ Pipe for Ocean Acoustic Tomography

November 1, 2016
