Reliability and Temperature Testing of PVDF-based Piezoelectric Energy harvesters.

Chandana Ravikumar1, Vytautas Markevicius1
1Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania (Europe)

During usage, storage, and transportation, electronic products often become affected by a few unwanted adverse effects of the surrounding environment that compromise their working performance, reliability, and device life. There is evidence that environmental effects cause 52% of such ... Read More

Studies on the effects of interfering structural vibrations on underwater Acoustic Vector Sensor

Sandhya Prajapati1, Arun Kumar1, Rajendar Bahl1
1Centre for Applied Research in Electronics, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, New Delhi-110016, India

In this paper, we report FEM studies of the effect of unwanted interfering structural vibrations on the performance of an underwater Acoustic Vector Sensor (AVS) performed in the COMSOL Multiphysics simulation tool. An AVS is a compact sensor that measures a four-dimensional vector ... Read More

Modeling MEMS Gyroscopes with COMSOL Multiphysics®

James Ransley1, Nagi Elabbasi2
1Veryst Engineering
2Veryst Engineering, Needham, MA, United States

MEMS gyroscopes are typically challenging to model due to the variable length scales present in the device (typically 1000:1) and because the devices themselves are highly sensitive to both environmental and manufacturing process induced deviations from the ideal geometry. In this paper ... Read More

Concept Level Automotive Structural Analysis in COMSOL Multiphysics®

Mihir Bhalerao1, Alok Thanapati1, Chandrakant Deshmukh1, T. K. Hareesh1
1Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd., Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India

At the start of any automotive project, preliminary concept structures are generated which need to be analyzed in a fast and efficient manner. Concepts of different structural elements such as the chassis frame, cargo, Cross Car Beam etc. need to be optimized and front-loaded with ... Read More

THERMO-ELASTIC STUDY OF A SPACE ACTUATOR BALL BEARING SET

Zain Mansoor1, Claudia Allegranza1
1ESA/ESTEC, Keplerlaan 1, 2200 AG, Noordwijk, Netherlands

Ball bearings are used in vast majority of mechanisms for space applications (such as Solar Array Drive Mechanisms, pointing mechanisms or reaction wheels) in order to provide low friction and smooth motion between parts. These applications differ from the ground ones due to space ... Read More

FE-Simulation of PTCA Balloon Catheters

Cornelia Amstutz1, Roman Bühler1, Jean-Marc Behr2, Michael Stöver2, Adrian Zurbuchen1, Jürgen Burger2
1SITEM Center, University of Bern, Switzerland
2SIS Medical AG, Switzerland

Within 40 years, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) catheters evolved into the golden standard for treating coronary stenoses. However, navigating through tortuous vessel pathways and cracking highly calcified lesions is challenging. To minimize the risk of ... Read More

Modelling swellable Microneedles for transdermal drug delivery

Prateek Ranjan Yadav1, Diganta Bhusan Das1, Sudip Pattanayek2
1Loughborough University, Loughborough, UK
2Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, New Delhi, India

Swellable microneedles (SMN) have gained a lot of attention to the transport of drugs in the skin. Microneedle swells by absorbing interstitial fluid, causing the loaded drug to transport into the skin without polymer dissolution which reduces the chance of infection and skin irritation. ...
