An artificial hand is the one that replaces the hand lost through trauma, disease, or congenital conditions. The proposed design is to simulate a sensor, used in prosthetic hand so as to measure the pressure required to hold the object, using COMSOL Multiphysics®. The physical parameters such as size, shape and mass of the object were optimized so as to hold an object. The weight of the object ...

Various cantilever geometries (conventional rectangular,pi,Tandtriangular) are simulated using the Structural Mechanics module of COMSOL Multiphysics® to compare their spring constants. A layer of piezoelectric material (ZnO,AlN and PZT are modeled) is added to the cantilever and using the Piezoelectric Devices physics of COMSOL Multiphysics®, we determine the piezoelectric voltage that is ...

This paper demonstrates the design of a tunable MEMS capacitor with two plates (one movable and one fixed). The response time obtained is 5μs. The tunable capacitor plays an important role in RF circuits. We focus on a tunable capacitor simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics®. In an electrostatically tunable parallel plate capacitor, you can modify the distance between the two plates when the ...
