Piezo-Acoustic Transducer
People that use piezoelectric transducers are interested in phased-array microphone, ultrasound equipment, ink-jet drop actuators, drug discovery, Sonar transducers, bio-imaging and acousto-bio-theraputics. Basically anyone who is trying to create sound in air or liquids turns to a version of this p...

Structural and Fatigue Analysis of a Car Wheel Rim
This example shows two structural analyses of a car wheel rim.
Firstly, the parametric solver is used to simulate a varying load along the boundary of the rim. The model solves for both the anti-symmetric and symmetric load cases. The two solutions are then combined in MATLAB in order to retrieve...

Diesel Engine Piston
In this model, a diesel engine piston is studied at steady-state conditions, that is, at a continuous engine speed and load.
The combustion process at steady-state produces cyclic pressure loads and a high constant temperatures. These load conditions could yield a piston failure due to fatigue crac...

Fluid-Structure Interaction with Two Fluid Phases
The following example demonstrates techniques for modeling a fluid-structure interaction containing two fluid phases in COMSOL Multiphysics. It illustrates how a heavier fluid can induce movement in an obstacle using the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) technique along with the Two-Phase Flow, Ph...

Acoustic Transmission Loss through Periodic Elastic Structures
In this model, two fluids are separated by a solid elastic structure. An acoustic pressure wave impacts the structure resulting in a reflected wave and a wave transmitted with a loss through the structure. This model investigates the transmission loss through the structure. The effects of incident a...

Sheet Metal Forming by a Spherical Punch
A common sheet metal forming process is where a punch is used to deform a plate clamped between two jaws.
This axi-symmetric contact model simulates the deformation of an elasto-plastic circular plate being bent by a spherical punch.
The force necessary to deform the plate and the shape of th...

Contact Analysis of a Snap Hook Fastener
Snap hook fasteners, where a hook is inserted into a groove, are common in the automotive industry, for example in the control panel of a car.
To obtain the magnitude of the forces necessary to insert and remove the hook, this model solves a nonlinear structural mechanics problem involving large...

Stresses in the Soil Surrounding a Traffic Tunnel
Problems of material failure in soil mechanics and other frictional materials such as concrete are often modeled using the well-known Mohr-Coulomb law. This is an elastic perfectly-plastic material model.
A smooth approximation of the Mohr-Coulomb yield surface for a three-dimensional case is th...

Structural Analysis of an Elbow Bracket
This model performs a structural analysis of an elbow bracket of steel fixed at one end. The component is part of a support mechanism and is subjected to both mechanical loads and thermal loads.
This tutorial model takes you through the steps to carry out a detailed analysis of the part using the...

Cylinder Roller Contact
Consider an infinitely long steel cylinder resting on a flat aluminum foundation, where both structures are elastic. The cylinder is subjected to a point load along its top.
In this model the contact pressure distribution and the length of contact between the foundation and the cylinder is calcu...
