COMSOL® Modeling and Tensile Loading of Aluminum Material Test Samples
Material test samples are commonly subjected to tensile testing, with an extensometer used to measure changes in length of the material to determine strain. Lacking an extensometer, strain gages were used to measure longitudinal and transverse strain, with the location and magnitudes of ... Read More
COMSOL® Analysis-Led Design of Prototype Coil Program for Bi-2212 Coils
The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) strives to push magnet technology to ever higher field strengths. Supported by a unified effort of material research as well as coil research, Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ (Bi 2212) technology shows promise as a high temperature superconductor (HTS) ... Read More
COMSOL Multiphysics® as a Tool for Biomedical Engineering Students to Harness Physical Processes
The field of Biomedical Engineering is expanding at an exponential rate. As we began to unravel clues about our complex biological vessels, we uncovered more questions than answers. Our collective curiosity has led biomedical engineering into a broadening field by study of physiological ... Read More
Analysis of D-Shaped Toroidal Superconductive Coils for Medium Size Fusion Experiment Facility
The research in magnetic confinement fusion is carried out through electromagnetic machines, with a toroidal geometry, where a hot plasma of heavy hydrogen isotopes (deuterium and tritium) is contained in a vacuum vessel. Due to the very high temperatures reached by the plasma, strong ... Read More
Tribological Behavior of Rubber on Glass in Prefilled Syringes
The primary enclosure of an injected formulation is almost exclusively comprised of a glass container (syringe) and an elastomer closure (i.e. plunger). A failed injection is anything that prevents the full dosage of the drug to be administered, whether that is a glass breakage or ... Read More
Thermal and Hydraulic Modeling of Road Tunnel Joints
This paper focuses on the use of the COMSOL Multiphysics® software to develop a 2D numerical model of expansion joints for road tunnels. The model was developed using the coefficient form PDEs interface. The model includes water and energy conservation equations. It takes into account ... Read More
The Roberval Balance
The Roberval Balance, invented in 1669 by French mathematician Gilles de Roberval, is a unique balance that has perplexed many upon first encountering the mechanism. This mechanism is a parallelogram that when its arms comprise a perfect parallelogram and the moveable weights or poises ... Read More
Simulation of Laser Powder-bed Fusion Additive Manufacturing Process Using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software
Additive manufacturing technology is becoming more popular for the fabrication of metal products as it offers rapid prototyping and large design freedom. However, part quality of components fabricated by current additive manufacturing technology is not comparable to that produced by ... Read More
Numerical Simulation of Coupled Fluid-Solid Interaction in Digital Rock Samples
Digital rock physics (DRP) is an emerging field where a rock sample is imaged, relevant physical processes are simulated numerically on the digital rock sample, and the numerical solutions are used for understanding and interpreting the rock in different in-situ conditions. The use of ... Read More
Multiphysics Simulation of 2nd Generation 238Pu Production Designs Using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software
In order to qualify experiments for in-vessel irradiation at the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, safety assessments need to be completed and documented to ensure adequate target cooling and structural integrity. Previously, finite element analysis ... Read More
