Development of Hybrid "Fluid Jet / Float" Polishing Process

Anthony Beaucamp[1]
Y. Namba[2]

[1]Zeeko LTD, Coalville, Leicestershire, UK
[2]Chubu University, Kasugai, Aichi, Japan

On one hand, the "float polishing" process consists of a tin lap having many concentric grooves, cut from a flat by single point diamond turning. This lap is rotated above a hydrostatic bearing spindle of high rigidity, damping and rotational accuracy. The optical surface thus floats ... Read More

Analysis of Working Fluid Flow and Debris Behavior in Micro-EDM Gap Area

Masashi MACHIDA[1]

[1]Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, Fuchu, Tokyo, Japan

Debris, micro particles produced by discharges, stay in the gap area during deep hole machining by micro EDM, cause short-circuits and abnormal discharges, finally make machining impossible. Although a deep hole can be processed by using the tool with grooves on the surface, the effect ... Read More

Vibration Analysis of the Wineglass for Glass Harp using COMSOL Multiphysics®

Teruyuki KOZUKA[1]

[1]National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Tokyo, Japan

When a wineglass is touched with a wet finger along its edge, it vibrates at single frequency and you hear a clear sound. If the water is added into the glass, the sound pitch changes because the resonance frequency changes with the mass of the glass. When there are plural glasses with ... Read More

Numerical Model for Leaching and Transporting Behavior of Radiocesium in MSW Landfill

Hiroyuki ISHIMORI et al.[1]

[1]Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto, Kyoto, Japan

This paper presents the numerical simulation model for radiocesium leaching and transporting behavior in municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill and discusses on the design for the required geometry and properties of the impermeable final cover and the soil sorption layer, which work for ...

Temperature Measurements of a Single Gold Nanoparticle under Laser Illumination

Kenji SETOURA et al.[1]

[1]The University of Tokushima, Tokushima, Tokushima, Japan

Temperature measurement of nanoparticles (NPs) under heating is an important technique in order to achieve potential applications such as photothermal cancer therapy and nanofabrication. We implemented the method to estimate the local temperature of a laser-heated gold NP on glass ... Read More

AC Loss Computation of Single Isolated Superconducting Tapes

Batdalai SUKH et al.[1]

[1]Miyakonojo National College of Technology, Miyakonojo, Miyazaki, Japan

In this panel session we present numerical models for computing the current density, field distribution and AC losses in high-temperature superconducting tapes. The tapes have a rectangle cross section for two-dimensional geometries. The numerical models are tested by comparing the ... Read More

Simulation of Beam Propagation with Two-photon Absorption in Semiconductor Materials

Syuhei LEE et al.[1]

[1]Chiba University, Chiba, Chiba, Japan

We have studied ultrafast all-optical switching devices based on two-photon absorption, which are expected to have ultrafast response less than 1 ps in wideband and to be independent of polarization of light. In our laboratory, we have obtained the analytical solution for the equation of ... Read More

Analysis of the Characteristics of the Terahertz Communication Device by using the COMSOL RF Module and its Complement

Hirokazu YAMAKURA[1]

[1]Tokyo Metropolitan University, Hachioji, Tokyo, Japan

We present simulated examples of analyzing characteristics of terahertz communication devices by using the COMSOL RF module. Especially, we propose a coupled analysis method, which has a mutually complementary relationship between the numerical analysis in the COMSOL and an additional ... Read More

Interaction between Light Wave and Asymmetric Metal/Insulator/Metal (MM) Structure Coupled with Subwavelength Holes at Optical Fiber Apex

Yasushi OSHIKANE[1]

[1]Osaka University, Suita, Osaka, Japan

Electromagnetic simulation of light wave interaction at around a tip of single mode optical fiber, which is formed of circular truncated cone shape, has been studied numerically by COMSOL Multiphysics and the RF Module (and Wave Optics Module). The fiber tip has specific nanostructure of ... Read More

Analysis of Temperature Distribution in a Magnetite Catalyst Bed under Microwave Irradiation using COMSOL Multiphysics®

Dai MOCHIZUKI et al.[1]

Tokyo Institute of Technology, Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan[1]

Dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene with a magnetite catalyst has been performed with a fixed bed flow type reactor under microwave irradiation. Microwave heating showed a temperature gradient in the catalyst bed. We analyzed an electromagnetic field and heat transfer in the microwave cavity ... Read More
