Finite Element Analysis for Surface Acoustic Wave Device Characteristic Properties and Sensitivity

Wave Motion and Stop-Bands in Pipes with Helical Characteristics Using Wave Finite Element Analysis

Pipes are widely used in many industrial and mechanical applications and devices. Although there are many different constructions according to the specific application and device, these can show helical pattern, such as spiral pipes, wire-reinforced pipes/shells, spring-suspension, and so on. Theoretical modelling of wave propagation provides a prediction about the dynamic behavior, and it is f...

Symplectic-mixed finite element approximation of linear acoustic wave equations

We apply mixed finite element approximations to the first-order form of the acoustic wave equation. The semidiscrete method exactly conserves the system energy. A fully discrete method employing the symplectic Euler time method in time exactly conserves a positive-definite pertubed energy functional that is equivalent to the actual energy under a CFL condition. In addition to proving optimal-or...

A Finite Element Model of a MEMS-based Surface Acoustic Wave Hydrogen Sensor

Hydrogen plays a significant role in various industrial applications, but careful handling and continuous monitoring are crucial since it is explosive when mixed with air. Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) sensors provide desirable characteristics for hydrogen detection due to their small size, low fabrication cost, ease of integration and high sensitivity. In this paper a finite element model of a S...
