Air Pressure Sensor Performance Relies on a Solid Design

June 11, 2014

Ever wonder how your car can tell when there’s low pressure in a tire? Sensors are placed at the bottom of each tire hub and measure air pressure automatically while the car is in motion.

Improving Your Golf Swing with a Multibody Analysis

June 6, 2014

The outcome of a golf stroke is determined by the movement of the club head just prior to impact with the ball. Therefore, one theoretically could improve their golf swing via multibody analysis.

How to Model Residual Stresses Using COMSOL Multiphysics

June 5, 2014

Learn how to compute the residual stresses in your structural mechanics models. To demonstrate, we use the example of a deep metal drawing process. Read on…
