COMSOL: stress on a sensor, how to use infinite element domain?

AI Thread Summary
Using an infinite element domain in COMSOL can potentially simplify stress simulations on a sensor, particularly to reduce simulation time. The goal is to model axial stress in opposite directions to analyze buckling effects, but concerns arise about the accuracy of results when applying periodic boundary conditions or symmetry simplifications. It's crucial to avoid losing asymmetric buckling modes during analysis. The Kirsch problem serves as a relevant example of infinite elements in stress analyses, and similar cases can be found in COMSOL's Application Gallery. Proper implementation of infinite elements could lead to more efficient simulations while maintaining accuracy.

At the risk of waiting hours on simulations of a sensor, I was wondering if I could use infinite element domain on COMSOL to simplify it.
The first image consists of what I would like to simulate but found out that the simulation time is a huge factor as I have a lot to simulations to conduct. It describes axial stress on the sensor in opposite directions to encourage buckling and see the extent of it.

What I hope is to use one sensor node and apply an infinite element domain to it.

The problem is that I am not entirely sure how to do this.

Maybe you could use periodic boundary conditions instead. But be careful with any form of symmetry-related simplifaction in buckling analyses - you will lose asymmetric buckling modes.

When it comes to the use of infinite elements in stress analyses, Kirsch problem is a common example. Comsol's Application Gallery features such a case as well and infinite domain is used there.
 

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
