How to Model Contact Fatigue in COMSOL Multiphysics®
Contact fatigue occurs when two parts in contact experience a time-dependent contact pressure. Learn how to model this structural phenomenon in COMSOL Multiphysics®.
Evaluating Microphones and Transducers with Simulation
Research teams at Brüel & Kjær, an industry leader in sound and vibration measurement, use multiphysics simulation to model their microphone and transducer designs. Read the full story.
How to Model Adhesion and Decohesion in COMSOL Multiphysics
Did you know you can simulate objects that stick together once they come in contact (adhesion) as well as those that pull apart (decohesion), including full cohesive-zone modeling?
Evaluating an Insulin Micropump Design for Treating Diabetes
Researchers from the University of Ontario Institute of Technology used simulation to develop a MEMS-based micropump that could administer insulin injections in a safe and painless way.
Analyzing the Design of a Thermoelectric Device for Cryotherapy
Researchers at the University of Birmingham in the U.K. turned to simulation to investigate the potential of using a thermoelectric cooler, or Peltier device, to cool a cryogenic probe.
GTI Streamlines Gas Pipeline Maintenance Procedures with Simulation
Researchers from OTD and GTI teamed up and used simulation to investigate the standard distance requirements for streamlined and safe gas pipeline maintenance.
An Introduction to Gear Modeling in COMSOL Multiphysics
Automobiles, electric motors, wind turbines, and other machines all require gearboxes in order to change speed or torque. Get an intro to modeling gears in COMSOL Multiphysics® in this post.
