Finite element modelling of surgical transducers has been performed and is described. Ultrasonic transducers vibrating at around 25 kHz are used in orthopaedic surgery to cut bone. The high acoustic impedance of the metal blades used in these devices couples energy more efficiently to ... Read More
In this contribution, we simulate the optical response of piezoelectric planar optical microcavities (POMCs) under the modulation introduced by a propagating surface acoustic wave (SAW). The physical picture of the model is shown in Figure 1. A metallic interdigital transducer (IDT) is ... Read More
This work enunciates the principles of SAW design from a physical perspective, examining the standard engineering modelling assumptions in some detail. An integral form analytical expression based on 2D elastic isotropic theory is validated against a COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation, ... Read More
The Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) linear motor was studied which is developed utilizing the friction principle for driving. The principle says that, when a slider is placed on the Rayleigh waves generated on a stator, the slider moves in reverse direction of the wave due to friction ... Read More
Vibrating mechanical tank components, such as quartz crystals and surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonators with Q’s in the range of 10e3–10e6, are widely used to implement high-Q oscillators and band pass filters in the radio frequency (RF) and intermediate frequency (IF) stages of ... Read More
Silicon solar cells are produced in a series of different process steps in which wet-chemical etching and rinsing steps have a considerable influence on the quality of the wafers. Etching baths are used for surface structuring or intended etch back. Examples therefore are texturing, ... Read More
The ongoing trend towards miniaturization, higher integration as well as cost efficiency will make it necessary to investigate a new assembly method for micro components. In this paper, a novel method of fluidic-based micro assembly is presented. A self-assembly effect which is caused by ... Read More
The paper provides an overview of the state of art in computational electromagnetic. There are three major ar eas like Design, optimization and material selection for the electric machines. The computational tool based on finite elements is very useful and powerful field simulation ... Read More
In this work, we seek to simulate SAWs for a better understanding and to benchmark the currently available cloud computing possibilities of COMSOL Multiphysics® software. By using the MEMS module we demonstrate 3D models with reduced geometry to achieve principle information about the ... Read More
The Levitron offers an interesting demonstration of natural magnetic levitation using permanent magnets. It is composed by a small magnetized top and a circular magnetized base with a hole on its center. The top is placed in an area where magnetic field configuration and gyroscopic ... Read More
