Introduction Engineers, product designers and researchers often find our website and then reach out to us with questions about how AltaSim Technologies could be a guide on their path to solving challenges using COMSOL Multiphysics simulation software. I thought I would share some of the key components of these conversations to help you understand how […]
The increasing miniaturization and sophistication of electronic products–ranging from consumer media devices, to medical diagnostic tools, to defense-related sonar applications–presents a bounty of utility and ease for consumers, and an ongoing challenge for design engineers. These seemingly disparate products (audio/mobile device speakers, certain non-invasive medical devices and sonar arrays) share in common a reliance on
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
