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 ... Per saperne di più

1Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, al. Lotnikow 32/46, 02-668 Warsaw, Poland

The monocrystalline semiconductor nanowires (NWs) attract great interest as they reveal new properties that differs from the ones of the bulk equivalents. In addition to small size (10-100 nm diameter), one of their advantages is extremely high surface to volume ratio. This determines ... Per saperne di più

Optimization of the geometry of MEMS Piezoelectric Energy Harvester cantilevers

Nanoscale heat transport model for microelectronic device design

Albert Beardo1
1Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain

Heat management has became a bottleneck in electronic engineering because of the large amount of energy released by current devices due to its extreme level of miniaturization [1]. This is a very important limitation to achieve, for example, terahertz clock-rates in computing and it is ... Per saperne di più

Finite element model of a helical swimming robot in COMSOL

Miguel A. López1, Cristina Nuevo-Gallardo1, José Emilio Traver1, Inés Tejado1, Blas M. Vinagre1
1University of Extremadura, Spain

This work presents a small swimmer model in a low Reynolds number ($Re$) environment governed by the equation of motion for Stokes flow in COMSOL Multiphysics®. The entity, a few centimetres helical robot, is located inside of a pipe full of silicone oil, where the forces caused by the ... Per saperne di più
