[1]School of Mechanical Science & Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China

Steel tubes are widely used in industries. In order to ensure the safety and reliability of industrial processes, electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs) based guided wave technology has been developed for inspecting stainless steel tubes regularly. Theoretical models and finite ... Read More

Numerical Study on the Acoustic Field of a Deviated Borehole with 2.5D Method

L. Liu[1], W.J. Lin[1], H.L. Zhang[1]
[1]State Key Laboratory of Acoustics, Institute of Acoustics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China

In this paper, we use the PDE interface of COMSOL Multiphysics® software to implement the 2.5D frequency wave-number domain method to investigate the wave propagation in a deviated borehole penetrating a transversely isotropic formation. A convolutional perfectly matched layer is ... Read More

Antenna and Plasmonic Properties of Scanning Probe Tips at Optical and Terahertz Regimes

A. Haidary[1], P. Grütter[1], Y. Miyahara[1]
[1]Physics Department, McGill University, Montreal, QC, Canada

A wide variety of near-field optical phenomena such as apertureless near-field scanning microscopy (ANSM) at optical and terahertz (THz) regimes and surface enhanced Raman scattering relies on the electric field enhancement at the end of a sharp tip. Achieving and controlling this ... Read More

Finite Element Modeling of Vasoreactivity Using COMSOL Multiphysics® Software

J. Parikh[1], A. Kapela[1], N. Tsoukias[1]
[1]Biomedical Engineering Department, Florida International University, Miami, FL, USA

Localized calcium events in the endothelial cells (EC) can modulate smooth muscle cell (SMC) calcium (Ca2+) and membrane potential dynamics through release of endothelium derived hyperpolarizing and relaxing factors. Ca2+ levels in the smooth muscle cell (SMC) determine its contractile ... Read More

Improving Intranasal Drug Delivery to the Olfactory Region Using Magnetophoretic Guidance

J. Xi[1], Z. Zhang[1], X. Si[2], H. Nanda[3], A. Ayoola[3]
[1]Mechanical & Biomedical Engineering, Central Michigan University, Mt. Pleasant, MI, USA
[2]Mechanical Engineering, California Baptist University, Riverside, CA, USA
[3]Calvin College, Grand Rapids, MI, USA

It is feasible to focus and guide nanoparticles with permanent magnets and ferromagnetic particles to achieve clinically significant olfactory dosages. With appropriate magnetophoretic guidance and selective drug release, an olfactory delivery efficiency of more than 20% can be ... Read More

Near-Wall Dynamics of Microbubbles in an Acoustical Trap

L. Wright[1], G. Memoli[1], P. Jones[2], E. Stride[3]
[1]National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, UK
[2]University College London, London, UK
[3]University of Oxford, Oxford, UK

Understanding the interactions between microbubbles and surfaces is key to the successful deployment of microbubbles in a range of applications. Two important examples are their use as a drug delivery mechanism, and their potential use of acoustically-driven bubbles as microscale ... Read More

Hydrodynamics of Lake Victoria: Vertically Integrated Flow Models in COMSOL Multiphysics® Software

S. Paul[1], R. Thunvik[1], D. D. Walakira[2], J. Mango[2], J. Oppelstrup[3], R. Wait[4]
[1]The Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden
[2]Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda
[3]COMSOL AB, Stockholm, Sweden
[4]Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden

Lake Victoria is the largest tropical lake in the world and is very important for environment and economy in East Africa. The hydrodynamic processes in the shallow (40-80 m deep) water system are unique due to its location at the equator which makes Coriolis effects noticeable also for ... Read More

FEM Simulation of Magnetically Triggered Hydrogel Micro Particles as Advanced Drug Carriers

O. Yassine[1], M. Kavaldzhiev[1], J. Kosel[1], Q. Li[1], A. Alfadhel[1], A. Zaher[1]
[1]Electrical Engineering Division, CEMSE Group, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Thuwal, Saudi Arabia

Thermally responsive microgel Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide), particles are embedded with iron oxide nanobeads creating magneto-thermally responsive microparticles (MTMs). The magnetic losses in the nanobeads activate the PNIPAM by heating it up to its lower critical solution temperature ... Read More

Temperature Gradients Controlled Broadband Acoustic Omnidirectional Absorber

F. Qian[1], L. Quan[1], X. Liu[1]
[1]Institute of Acoustics and School of Physics, Nanjing University, Nanjing, China

Previous research into acoustic omnidirectional absorber (AOA) has shown the feasibility of forming acoustic black hole to guide the incident wave into the central absorptive cavity. However, major restrictions to practical applications exist due to complexity of designing metamaterials ... Read More

Simulation of a New PZT Energy Harvester with a Lower Resonance Frequency Using COMSOL Multiphysics®

H. Elbahr[1], T. Ali[1,2], A. Badawi[1], S. Sedky[1]
[1]Zewail City of Science and Technology - Cairo, Cairo, Egypt
[2]Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt

Energy harvesting from environmental vibration nowadays is feasible because of natural oscillations like that caused by air or liquid flow and by exhalation or the heartbeat of a human body. This vibration frequency is typically low (in order of less than 1 kHz). Accordingly, low ... Read More
