FrOSCon 2024

FrOSCon 2024 Free software and open source were the topics of the 19th FrOSCon, which takes place every late summer at Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences. The program offered visitors around 100 lectures and workshops on the topic of open source. 19th Free & Open Source Conference This year’s FrOSCon program was again very extensive,…

FE-Modellierung resonanter Sensoren

Finite-Elemente-Modellierung frequenz-analoger Sensoren   HSG-IMIT Institut für Mikro- und Informationstechnik der Hahn-Schickard-Gesellschaft für Angewandte Forschung e.V.,  Villingen-Schwenningen   2.1 Einleitung 2.1.1 Funktionsprinzip resonanter Sensoren Das Prinzip eines resonanten Sensors beruht auf der Abhängigkeit der Eigenfrequenz des Resonators von einer äußeren physikalischen Größe (z.B. Druck, Kraft, Temperatur), indem der Spannungszustand beeinflußt oder die Trägheit des Resonators…

FE modeling of resonant sensors

Finite element modeling of frequency-analog sensors   HSG-IMIT Institute for Micro- and Information Technology of the Hahn-Schickard-Gesellschaft for Applied Research e.V., Villingen-Schwenningen     2.1 Introduction 2.1.1 Functional principle of resonant sensors The principle of a resonant sensor is based on the dependence of the natural frequency of the resonator on an external physical variable…
