Piezoelectric materials contribute as a key design component in transducers, sensors, actuators, and resonators. The ability to accurately model these devices can greatly benefit the design process and contribute to increasing the efficiency of the device through better understanding of the multiphysics interaction between piezoelectric, structural, and dielectric or conductive materials in the same device. This webinar will introduce you to the modeling and simulation of such devices. Special attention will be given to the multiphysics capabilities that allow you to easily combine piezoelectric device modeling with other physics such as acoustics, fluid dynamics, heat transfer or electromagnetic waves in a single simulation.

Speaker:
Supratik Datta, Applications Manager, COMSOL

Supratik Datta received a Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from University of Maryland, College Park in 2009. He has been involved in research related to damage detection in composites, phase transformation in ferrous alloys and design and non-linear modeling of piezoelectric and magnetostrictive actuators and sensors. Supratik's research has been published in several peer-reviewed journals and he has received awards from AIAA and ASME for his work on magnetostrictive materials. He is currently working as an Applications Manager in COMSOL, Inc., Palo Alto.
