Electroporation is an increase of the cell membrane permeability due to the formation of aqueous pores in it when the cell is under the influence of an intense electric field [1][2]. The formation of such pores in the membrane can be used to enhance the uptake of chemotherapeutic drugs into the cell in a cancer treatment known as electrochemotherapy [3]. In some cases the direct experimental ...
Computational Study on Transcutaneous Frontal Nerve Stimulation: Simplification of Human Head Model

[1] Electronic and Electrical Department, University College London, London, UK
I. INTRODUCTION Migraine is a neurological disorder which affects nearly 15% of the population and it has been estimated that the European Community spends about €27 billion in a year. Its symptoms may be categorized as attacks of often severe, throbbing head pain with sensory sensitivity of light and sound. It is mainly related to trigeminal nerve, the supraorbital nerve (SON) and ...
Nonlinear Shielded Multipair Twisted Railway Cable Modeling with COMSOL Multiphysics®
Y. Jin [1], G. Papaiz Garbini [1], S. Karoui [1], M. Cucchiaro [1],
[1] SNCF Réseau, Paris, France
Signaling and telecommunication cables are shielded multipair twisted cables that lie along the railway and transfer railway information at low frequency (some kilohertz). Due to the electromagnetic disturbance of the railway environment, coming from high voltage conductors such as the overhead line and the electric energy transmission lines parallel to the railway those cables can be subjected ...
Coupled Electromagnetic - Dynamic FEM Simulation of A High Frequency MEMS Energy Harvester
E. Topal
Middle East Technical University
Ankara
Turkey
In this study, a detailed finite element model coupling the motion dynamics and electromagnetics of a diaphragm based MEMS vibration energy harvester is presented. The energy harvester converts low frequency vibrations to high frequency response by magnetic actuation of a diaphragm carrying coils. AC/DC, Solid Mechanics and Moving Mesh (ALE) modules are coupled together in one 3-D model to ...
Modeling the ELENA Electron Cooler with COMSOL Multiphysics® Software - new
G. Tranquille[1]
[1]CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
ELENA is a small cooler decelerator ring at CERN which will be built to increase substantially the number of usable antiprotons delivered to experiments for studies with antihydrogen and antiprotonic nuclei. COMSOL Multiphysics® software has been used to completely model the ELENA electron cooling device in 3D. We have taken advantage of the different physics-based modules of COMSOL ...
Modeling of Rotating Magnetic Field Eddy Current Probe for Inspection of Tubular Metallic Components

[1]Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Rotating Magnetic Field Eddy current technique is a promising technique for inspection of flaws in metallic tubular components. Three primary coils, 120 degrees apart in space, are excited with three phase current source, by virtue, a rotating magnetic field polarised in radial direction is generated. This radial field interacts with metallic tube and generates ...
Interactive Design of an Electrostatic Headphone Speaker Using COMSOL Server™
B. A. Marmo [1], M. P. Snaith [1],
[1] Xi Engineering Consultants, Edinburgh, United Kingdom
An electrostatic headphone includes many interrelated design elements that affect the frequency response of the headphone and the users listening experience. Xi Engineering Consultants (XI) partnered with Warwick Audio Technologies (WAT) to investigate the complex behavior of one-side electrostatic speakers. Xi developed a GUI that helped WAT engineers optimize their speaker using virtual tools ...
Progress in Numerical Simulation of HIIPER Space Propulsion Device
P. Keutelian[1], A. Krishnamurthy[1], G. Chen[1], B. Ulmen[1], G.H. Miley[1]
[1]University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, IL, USA
HIIPER is an experimental space propulsion device using a helicon and an IEC as a plasma generation and acceleration stage, respectively. There is an experiment in progress, but for true rapid iteration and to model the performance of the engine, COMSOL is a strong candidate for fulfilling these roles and continuing with the project until its production phase. The simulation is built with very ...
Numerical Calculation of the Dynamic Behavior of Asynchronous Motors with COMSOL Multiphysics
J. Güdelhöfer[1], R. Gottkehaskamp[1], A. Hartmann[1]
[1]Department of Electrical Machines and Electromagnetic Field Theory, University of Applied Sciences Düsseldorf, Düsseldorf, Germany
This paper shows how a time-dependent and non-linear simulation of the dynamic operation behavior of an induction machine is executed by means of the \"Rotating Machinery\" interface from COMSOL Multiphysics 4.2a. The two-dimensional FEM model is connected to electrical circuits by coupling the physics \"Rotating Machinery\" and \"Electrical Circuit\" interfaces. These circuits include the ...
