In Part 1, we provided a basic introduction to Piezoelectric materials. In this blog, we will take a look at specific products that present a challenge for design engineers due to the need for increased output within smaller devices. Mics and Speakers Piezoelectric materials are used extensively in acoustics. Microphones contain piezoelectric crystals that convert […]
Modeling and Simulation: Opportunity “It’s not just what you do it’s also why you do it” – Part 2 With all these advantages of modeling and simulation that were documented in Part 1 of this blog where is computational analysis and virtual prototyping being used and what is the opportunity for future use? A

MRI Webinar (Recording Accessible Until December 18, 2015) On June 18th, our very own Kyle Koppenhoefer joined Walter Frei, PhD, Applications Engineer, COMSOL, to present a free Webinar on Simulating MRI Heating of Medical Implants. As we wrote about last week, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is one of the most widely used and safest
MRI – Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Simulation Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is one of the most widely used and safest imaging modalities for medical diagnostics. Despite this, one of the major technological challenges facing the biomedical imaging world has been the issues created when a patient with metallic medical implants suffers the need (for any

Computational Model for Bolometer Design Bolometers are used in a number of applications including night vision cameras, astronomy, and particle physics to measure the power of incident electromagnetic radiation. The principle of operation is shown in Figure 1: when a strip of conducting material is exposed to incident electromagnetic radiation, energy is absorbed and
