This presentation gives an overview of the capabilities of COMSOL Multiphysics within the area of structural analysis. The presentation mostly covers the functionality of the Structural Mechanics Module - but also touches on what is...
People that use piezoelectric transducers are interested in phased-array microphone, ultrasound equipment, ink-jet drop actuators, drug discovery, Sonar transducers, bio-imaging and acousto-bio-theraputics. Basically anyone who is trying...
Magnetostrictive transduction is used in sonars, acoustic devices, active vibration and position control and fuel injection systems. The transducer has a steel housing enclosing a drive coil. A magnetostrictive material is placed in the...
In massive forming processes like rolling or extrusion, metal alloys are deformed in a hot solid state with material flowing under ideally plastic conditions. Such processes can be simulated effectively using computational fluid dynamics,...
In this model, fluid is flowing through a channel containing a flexible obstacle. Due to the viscous and pressure forces asserted by the fluid, the obstacle bends. With the obstacle undergoing a large deformation, the fluid flow...
This example shows two structural analyses of a car wheel rim. Firstly, the parametric solver is used to simulate a varying load along the boundary of the rim. The model solves for both the anti-symmetric and symmetric load cases. The...
This model refers to a portion of the vascular system of a young child - the upper part of the aorta artery. The blood vessels are embedded in a biological tissue (the cardiac muscle) and, during the flow of blood, pressure is applied to...
A load-carrying component of a structure is subjected to multi-axial cyclic loading during which localized yielding of the material occurs. Due to localized yielding, you can use two methods to obtain the stress and strain...
This model performs a structural analysis of an elbow bracket of steel fixed at one end. The component is part of a support mechanism and is subjected to both mechanical loads and thermal loads. This tutorial model takes you through...
The drive for miniaturizing electronic devices has resulted in today’s extensive use of surface-mount electronic components. An important aspect in electronics design and the choice of materials is a product’s durability and...
