Virtual testing platform for design and optimization of cantilever-typesensors

Using a multiphysics approach, the intern will construct a model for the topological optimization of

two distinct classes of cantilever-type sensors: one often encountered in the general industrial

application and the other one customized for the specific needs of a biosensor. Altair Hyperworks will

be the main software tool to be used for this particular type of optimization and the aforementioned

type of sensors will be modeled and their behavior simulated in complex multiphysics conditions.

These results will generate a software platform useful for testing several types of sensors (materialwise

and class-wise) under diverse loading conditions (force, temperature, pressure, humidity) and will

help the sponsor company in generating a portfolio on the niche of the market requesting such type of

numeric modeling and simulation. On the same time, the results are of great value for the biological

sensor developed by the intern in order to obtain his PhD degree. The student will benefit from the

interaction with the company’s …
