Interaction of the Laser with the Material Modelling of the Micro-Lenses Creation
Micro-lenses with potential applications in optics on the surface of the various heavy-metal oxide glasses were created and studied experimentally [1-2]. Laser direct writing using continuous-wave laser emitting at 447 nm was successfully performed [2]. The aim of this study is to ... Read More
Common Mode Choke Electromagnetic Simulation
Common mode chokes are used in electrical circuits to filter out the electromagnetic interference (EMI). The goal of this study is to simulate the impedance of the choke within a range of frequency from 0.01 MHz to 50 MHz. In this simulation model the COMSOL® AC/DC Module with magnetic ... Read More
High Speed Inductive eRPS Sensor Error Reduction Using COMSOL Multiphysics®
Modern electrical vehicle motors require a precise current control over the rotation of the rotor. These motors have high performance, but their control requirement impose a precise knowledge of the rotor angular position. Rotor position sensor (RPS) are traditionally designed using ... Read More
