The design and modeling of microscale electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) is a unique engineering discipline. At small length scales, the design of resonators, gyroscopes, accelerometers, and actuators must consider the effects of several physical phenomena. MEMS devices and sensors may even utilize multiphysics phenomena for its very function or for increased sensitivity. To this end, the MEMS Module provides user interfaces for electromagnetic-structure, thermal-structure, or fluid-structure interactions. A variety of damping phenomena can be included in a model: thin-film gas damping, anisotropic loss-factors for solid and piezo materials, as well as anchor damping. For elastic vibrations and waves, perfectly matched layers (PMLs) provide state-of-the-art absorption of outgoing elastic energy.
Best-in-class piezoelectric and piezoresistive tools allow for simulations where composite piezo-elastic-dielectric materials can be combined in any imaginable configuration. The MEMS Module includes analyses in the stationary and transient domains as well as fully-coupled eigenfrequency, parametric, quasi-static, and frequency response analyses. Lumped parameter extraction of capacitance, impedance, and admittance and connections to external electrical circuits via SPICE netlists are made easy. Built upon the core capabilities ofCOMSOL Multiphysics, the MEMS Module can be used to address virtually any phenomena related to mechanics at the microscale.

NanoWire Modelling

Meshed solid model of a hexagonal array of nanowires and a randomly generated rough surface. The surface roughness has a Gaussian distribution to mimic the real surface of a processor chip package.

The removal of heat from IC processors is achieved by attaching a heat sink to the microprocessor package and using either natural or forced convection. The inherent roughness of the mating surfaces severly impacts the performance of the cooling system since

    Photo Description

    The comely young woman in the photo has a small, wide face with angular cheekbones and a broad nose. I call her Buôn because it’s the Vietnamese word for sad. She has smooth, crease-free skin the color of raw Tupelo honey next to the pale gray of what is possibly a knock-off of a 1980s Members Only jacket. The collar sits askew and the right leaf is turned slightly upward. Her wide-set, almond-shaped eyes, so dark in color they are virtually obsidian, sit below an almost perfectly straight set of charcoal colored eyebrows and a narrow forehead. Her thin, onyx hair is pulled back into a low ponytail with a scarlet band. A few delicate strands escape the band to form an upside-down V on either side of her face, which lightly brush the pea-sized brown mole sitting inches below and forward of her right ear. Salty tears flowing from her dark eyes form perpendicular lines down her cheeks and graze her hand which seems too large in comparison to her face. That considerable hand covers what I imagine are small, plump lips only a shade or two darker than that raw honey skin - lips that are pursed tight above a square chin.…

    During the course of my digital photography class, I have learned what type picture taker I am, what my interests are in photography, and what I want to continue to do with photography? I have learned how color, light, shapes, lines and objects help to make up a photograph. I have learned that every photo tells or shares a story of what I or the photographer wants to portray to the viewer. This has been one of the best classes that I have ever taken.…

    The ability of certain crystals to generate Piezoelectricity in response to applied mechanical stress is reversible in that piezoelectric crystals, when subjected to an externally applied voltage, can change shape by a small amount. This deformation, though only nanometers, has useful applications such as the production and detection of sound.…

    3.) In the novel A Dolls House the author Henrik Ibsen characterizes Nora Helmer as a woman that is strong and courageous. It's clearly seen throughout the book that she is a woman that can hold her own but because of the mentality and the norms of the 1800s, is restricted. Nora's thoughts, decisions, and behaviors would be seen today as something close to how women are independent and how they are too human beings that have a mind of their own. Nora's actions in the play seem to speak for how women today are strong and how they're willing to sacrifice no matter what the consequence. "HELMER: 'No man would sacrifice his honor for the one he loves.' NORA:' It is a thing hundreds of thousands of women have done'." (3.345 3.346) Furthermore her actions lets us know that she isn't as ditzy as we think she is, Nora is clever and knows how to stay on Torvald's good side. "NORA: "Christine is […] is frightfully anxious to work under some clever man, so as to perfect herself--" (1.282)…

    It was just a regular day, nothing unusual or out of the norm. The only special thing happening today was Ronnie's birthday. She finally reached her 17th birthday, she has been waiting for this day for years. When she was about 10 she told her self that when she is 17 she will be able to do anything she wants, she will have a boyfriend and be very popular in high school. Wishing is fun and all but its nothing compared to reality. When the day finally came she wasn't disappointed at all, actually her life was nothing as she expected seven years ago but it was darn right better than she wanted it to be. She may not be the wealthiest girl or popular in any way but she sure has a good life. Her and her boyfriend Peter love each other more than anything else in this world and their favorite thing to do together is taking trips. They have known each other their whole lives, at least the most important part, high school. For Ronnie high school is not that big of a deal, she likes the people around her to the extent where she says hello and then moves on and does her own thing. Peter on the other hand hates school, he is beyond his knowledge level which puts him above everyone else in school. Its a small school, about 400 hundred girls and 450 hundred boys. Its a small town, unlike me who has moved from New York when i was 10, everyone here grew up…
