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.
In this tutorial model, the acoustics of the human ear canal are investigated. The output includes the input impedance and the transfer impedance, as well as the level transformation from the entrance to the eardrum. The geometry of the ear canal used is based on measurements from test ... Read More
A load carrying component of a structure is subjected to multi-axial cyclic loading during which localized yielding of the material occurs. In this model you perform a low cycle fatigue analysis of the part based on the Smith-Watson-Topper (SWT) model. Due to localized yielding, you ... Read More
In this example, it is demonstrated how to extend the built-in linear elastic material model to a Cosserat material through the addition of microrotation degrees of freedom. A cylindrical bar under pure torsion is analyzed and the effect of the Cosserat length scale parameter on the ... Read More
A 3D model of an acoustic trap in a glass capillary with a bias flow through the capillary. The acoustics is actuated by an oscillating electric potential across a piezoelectric transducer, inducing mechanical vibrations in the solid, and an acoustic pressure field in the fluid. The heat ... Read More
In this model, compute the propagating modes in the chamber of an automotive muffler. The geometry is a cross-section of the chamber in the Absorptive Muffler example. The model’s purpose is to study the shape of the propagating modes and to find their cut-off frequencies. As discussed ... Read More
This tutorial shows how to evaluate the harmonic response of a structure with a moderately nonlinear behavior. A nonlinear problem can only be solved using time-domain analysis. A way to speed up the computation is to use a linearized frequency response analysis to provide good initial ... Read More
This example shows the analysis of a perforated plate loaded into the plastic regime. The purpose of the analysis is to demonstrate how plastic strains can be mapped between dissimilar meshes. Read More
This is a small 2D demonstration model that couples the Linearized Navier-Stokes, Frequency Domain, Solid Mechanics, and Turbulent Flow (k-epsilon) physics interfaces to model the vibrations of a plate located in a 2D viscous parallel plate flow. This type of model is used to model fluid ... Read More
A thin-walled frame with a central cutout is subjected to a random load. Although the stresses are far below the yield level of the material, damage accumulates over the load history. The Rainflow counting algorithm is used to define the load scenario and Palmgren-Miner linear damage ... Read More
This tutorial model shows how to model a microspeaker located in a smart phone including the radiation through and interaction with the acoustic port that connects to the exterior. The model demonstrates a linear frequency domain analysis as well as a nonlinear time domain analysis. A ... Read More
