Exploring Sound Absorption Through Acoustic Metamaterials

COMSOL Multiphysics, Thought Leadership /

The fast-growing area of acoustic metamaterials, specifically those composed of subwavelength periodic artificial structures with specific designs, has drawn significant research attention. In this article, we compare acoustic metamaterials to the limitations of conventional acoustic materials in sound absorption, and what we discover is acoustic metamaterials are far more effective for low-frequency applications. LIMITATIONS OF […]

MEMS Energy Harvester for Reusing Waste Heat

Thought Leadership /

During our recent webinar with COMSOL on thermal-structure interaction modeling, we at AltaSim Technologies demonstrated modeling of a MEMS energy harvester that scavenges waste heat. Examples of sources for waste heat range from microprocessor chips, to internal combustion engines, to chemical processing plants. If the waste heat generated from these cases could be used to
