        Metal-based microelectromechanical systems are widely used in applications such as micro-energy harvesters, micro-heat exchangers and micro-electromagnetic that require high strength and flexibility. In the fabrication of such systems, micro wire electrical discharge machining (MicroWEDM) is majorly used. This paper studies the effect of the MicroWEDM process parameters on the dimensional deviation of machined MEMS structures including microcantilevers and micro-beams using the Taguchi method. Using optimal levels of the parameters including pulse duration (0.8 µs), cutting speed (8.4 mm/min), voltage (17 V) and wire tension (0.5 kg), the dimensional deviation is reduced about 8.65 times compared with the average of experiments results. The order of effect importance of the process parameters on the dimensional deviation of microstructures obtained by the ANOVA analysis of S/N ratios is as follows: pulse duration, wire tension, process voltage and cutting speed. Dimensional deviation of the micro-features was reduced to 1 μm using the optimal levels of the process parameters. پرونده مقاله

        In this study, the micro electro-polishing method was employed to improve the surface quality of microbeams machined by the micro WEDM method and to remove the recast layer. This approach changes the dimensions of the microbeams, as a result of the electrochemical corrosion, in addition to the elimination of the recast layer. To diminish the impact of this process on the dimensional deviation of the fabricated microbeams, the influence of the micro electro-polishing process parameters such as voltage, duration, cathode diameter, and electrolyte composition on the dimensional deviation of microbeams was studied using the Taguchi method. The optimum values of process parameters were determined by the S/N ratios analysis, and the order of parameters importance was determined through analysis of variance of the S/N ratios. It was found that the optimal levels of the process parameters are voltage of 2 V, process duration of 20 s, cathode diameter of 50 mm, and electrolyte composition of 25-5-40 ml (sulfuric-phosphoric-water) within the range of experiments. By using the optimum values of the parameters, the dimensional deviations were found to be 5.23 times lower compared to the average of the results. The importance of process parameters was found to follow this order: electropolishing duration, electrolyte composition, cathode diameter, and process voltage. پرونده مقاله

        Regarding the necessity of designing high Q-resonators in micro electromechanical systems, this paper investigates the viscoelastic behavior of a rectangular micro-plate subjected to electrical actuation. Equations governing the vibrations of the homogeneous plate were obtained on the basis of classical plate theory (Kirchhoff's model). The Kelvin–Voigt model was also employed to consider the viscoelastic properties. The Galerkin decomposition method was used for decomposition of the governing differential equations. Additionally, the effects of various parameters were investigated on the Q-factor. Furthermore, a Finite Element simulation is carried out using COMSOL Multiphysics. The verification of the proposed model was conducted by comparing the obtained results with those from previous studies which revealed the validity of the proposed approach and the accuracy of the assumptions made The suggested design approach proposed in this this study is expected to design high Q-factor micro resonators and may be used to improve the performance of many MEMS devices. پرونده مقاله

        In this paper static and dynamic responses of a fixed-fixed microbeam to electrostatic force and mechanical shock for different cases have been studied. The governing equations whose solution holds the answer to all our questions about the mechanical behavior is the nonlinear elasto-electrostatic equations. Due to the nonlinearity and complexity of the derived equations analytical solution are not generally available; therefore, the obtained differential equations have been solved by using of a step by step linearization method (SSLM) and a Galerkin based reduced order model. The pull-in voltage of the structure and the effect of shock forces on the mechanical behavior of undeflected and electrostatically deflected microbeam have been investigated. The proposed models capture the other design parameters such as intrinsic residual stress from fabrication processes and the nonlinear stiffening or stretching stress due to beam deflection. پرونده مقاله

        The paper deals with the mechanical behavior of a micro-beam bonded with two piezoelectric layers. The micro-beam is suspended over a fixed substrate and undergoes the both piezoelectric and electrostatic actuation. The piezoelectric layers are poled through the thickness and equipped with surface electrodes. The equation governing the micro-beam deflection under electrostatic pressure is derived according to Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and considering the voltage applied to the piezoelectric layers and Maxwell’s equations for the two dimensional electric potential distribution. The obtained nonlinear equation solved by step by step linearization method and Galerkin weighted residual method. The effects of the electric potential distribution and the ratio of the piezoelectric layer thickness respect to the elastic layer thickness on the mechanical behavior of the micro-beam are investigated. The obtained results are compared with the results of a model in which electric potential distribution is not considered. پرونده مقاله

        The objective of this paper is to control the phase shifting by applying a bias DC voltage and changing the mechanical characteristics in electrostatically-actuated micro-beams. This problem can be more useful in the design of micro-phase shifters, which has not generally been investigated their mechanical behavior. By presenting a mathematical modeling, Galerkin-based step by step linearization method (SSLM) and Galerkin-based reduced order model have been used to solve the governing static and dynamic equations, respectively. The equilibrium positions or fixed pints of the system have been determined and the calculated static and dynamic pull-in parameters have been validated by previous experimental and theoretical results and a good agreement has been achieved. The frequency response of the system has been studied and illustrated that changing applied bias DC voltage affects the resonance frequency and maximum amplitude of the system vibrations. Then, phase diagram of the system for various damping ratio and excitation frequencies has been gained. It has been shown that by changing the bias DC voltage applied on the electrostatically-actuated micro-beam, which can be used as a varactor in phase shifter circuit, the stiffness of the micro-beam changes and consequently the phase shifting can be controlled. Finally, effect of the geometrical and mechanical properties of the micro-beam on the value of the phase shifting has been studied. پرونده مقاله

        In this paper, the size dependent behavior of the gold micro-switches has been studied. This behavior becomes noticeable for a structure when the characteristic size such as thickness or diameter is close to its internal length-scale parameter. The size dependent effect is insignificant for the high ratio of the characteristic size to the length-scale parameter, which is the case of the silicon base micro-beams. On the other hand, in some types of micro-beams like gold base, the size dependent effect cannot be overlooked. In such cases, ignoring this behavior in modeling will lead to incorrect results. Some previous researchers have applied classic beam theory on their models and imposed a considerable hypothetical value of residual stress to match their theoretical results with the experimental ones. In this study, by obtaining the equilibrium positions or fixed points of the gold micro-beam, a considerable difference between the obtained fixed points using classic beam theory and modified couple stress theory has been shown. In addition, it has been shown that the calculated pull-in voltages using modified couple stress theory are much closer to the experimental results than those obtained by classic beam theory. Finally, it has been shown that considering a unique value of length scale parameter, especially for the smallest values of the beam thicknesses, may leads to inaccurate results and variable length scale parameter should be considered. پرونده مقاله

        This paper investigates damping ratio in micro-beam resonators based on magneto-thermo-elasticity. A unique aspect of the present study is the effect of permanent magnetic field on the stiffness and thermo-elastic damping of the micro resonators. In our modeling the theory of thermo-elasticity with interacting of an externally applied permanent magnetic field is taken into account. Combined theoretical and numerical studies investigate the permanent magnetic field effect on the damping ratio in clamped-clamped and cantilever micro-beams. Furthermore, the influence of the magnetic field intensity on the frequency of the micro-beams with thermo-elastic damping effect is evaluated. Such evaluations are used to determine the influence of magnetic field on the vibration amplitude of the resonators. The meaningful conclusion is that the magnetic field increases the equivalent stiffness and thermo-elastic damping and consequently the energy consumption of the resonators. پرونده مقاله

        In this paper, dynamic behavior of a functionally graded cantilever micro-beam and its pull-in instability, subjected to simultaneous effects of a thermal moment and nonlinear electrostatic pressure, has been studied. It has been assumed that the top surface is made of pure metal and the bottom surface from a metal–ceramic mixture. The ceramic constituent percent of the bottom surface ranges from 0% to 100%. Along with the Volume Fractional Rule of material, an exponential function has been applied to represent the continuous gradation of the material properties through the micro-beam thickness. Attentions being paid to the ceramic constituent percent of the bottom surface, five different types of FGM micro-beams have been studied. Nonlinear integro-differential thermo-electro-mechanical equation based on Euler–Bernoulli beam theory has been derived. The governing equation in the static case has been solved using Step-by-Step Linearization Method and Finite Difference Method. Fixed points or equilibrium positions and singular points of the FGM micro-beam have been determined and shown in the state control space. In order to study stability of the fixed points, beam motion trajectories have been drawn, with different initial conditions, in the phase plane. In order to find the response of the micro-beam to a step DC voltage, the nonlinear equation of motion has been solved using Galerkin-based reduced-order model and time histories and phase portrait for different applied voltages and various primal temperatures have been illustrated. The effects of temperature change and electrostatic pressure on the deflection and stability of FGM micro-beams having various amounts of the ceramic constituent have been studied . پرونده مقاله

        This paper presents a study on the frequency response of a capacitive micro-beam resonator under various applied stresses. The governing equation whose solution holds the answer to all our questions about the mechanical behavior is the nonlinear electrostatic equation. Due to the nonlinearity and complexity of the derived equation analytical solution are not generally available; therefore, the obtained differential equation has been solved by using a step by step linearization scheme and a Galerkin based reduced order model. The obtained static pull-in voltages have been validated by previous reports and a good agreement has been achieved. The dynamic behavior of the beam under residual, axial and thermal stresses has been investigated. It has been shown that applying the positive residual stress and negative temperature changes shifts right the frequency response and decrease the vibration amplitude and vice versa. Also, it has been shown that applying the bias DC voltage beside the exciting AC voltage decreases the stiffness of the system and so, shifts left the frequency response and increases the vibration amplitude. پرونده مقاله

        In the present work the pull-in voltage of a micro cracked cantilever beam subjected to nonlinear electrostatic pressure was studied. Two mathematical models were employed for modeling the problem: a lumped mass model and a classical beam model. The effect of crack in the lumped mass model is the reduction of the effective stiffness of the beam and in the beam model; the crack is modeled as a massless rotational spring the compliance of which is related to the crack depth. Using these two models the pull-in voltage is extracted in the static and dynamic cases. Stability analysis is also accomplished. It has been observed that the pull-in voltage decreases as the crack depth increases and also when the crack approaches the clamped support of the beam. The finding of this research can further be used as a non-destructive test procedure for detecting cracks in micro-beams. پرونده مقاله

        In this paper, the stability of a functionally graded magneto-electro-elastic (FG-MEE) micro-beam under actuation of electrostatic pressure is studied. For this purpose Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and constitutive relations for magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) materials have been used. We have supposed that material properties vary exponentially along the thickness direction of the micro-beam. Governing motion equations of the micro-beam are derived by using of Hamilton’s principle. Maxwell’s equation and magneto-electric boundary conditions are used in order to determine and formulate magnetic and electric potentials distribution along the thickness direction of the micro-beam. By using of magneto-electric potential distribution, effective axial forces induced by external magneto-electric potential are formulated and then the governing motion equation of the micro-beam under electrostatic actuation is obtained. A Galerkin-based step by step linearization method (SSLM) has been used for static analysis. For dynamic analysis, the Galerkin reduced order model has been used. Static pull-in instability for 5 types of MEE micro-beam with different gradient indexes has been investigated. Furthermore, the effects of external magneto-electric potential on the static and dynamic stability of the micro-beam are discussed in detail. پرونده مقاله

        This paper addresses the problem of the fractional sliding mode control (FSMC) for a MEMS optical switch. The proposed scheme utilizes a fractional sliding surface to describe dynamic behavior of the system in the sliding mode stage. After a comparison with the classical integer-order counterpart, it is seen that the control system with the proposed sliding surface displays better transient performance. The claims are justified through a set of simulations and the results obtained are found promising. Overall, the contribution of this paper is to demonstrate that the response of the system under control is significantly better for the fractional-order differentiation exploited in the sliding surface design stage than that for the classical integer-order one, under the same conditions. پرونده مقاله

        In this paper, a robust PID control scheme is proposed for Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) optical switches. The proposed approach is designed in a way which solves two challenging and important problems. The first one is successful reference tracking and the second is mitigating the system nonlinearities. The overall system composed of nonlinear MEMS dynamics and the PID controller is proven to be uniformly-ultimately bounded (UUB) stable in agreement with Lyapunov’s direct method in any finite region of the state space. Since the unmodeled but bounded dynamics of the system is systematically encapsulated in the system model, the only influence that this imposes on the stability is the respective bounds on the controller gains. The controller design strategy is simple and practicable with low computation burden which makes it easy to apply for control of MEMS optical switch. It also forms a constructive and conservative algorithm for suitable choice of gains in PID controller. The effectiveness of the proposed control law is verified through simulations in MATLAB/SIMULINK. It is shown that the proposed control law ensures robust stability and performance despite the modeling uncertainties. پرونده مقاله

        در این مقاله، یک میکروفن خازنیMEMS جدید تک تراشه بر روی ویفر سیلیکونی با کمینه کردن اندازه و کاهش استحکام مکانیکی با استفاده از دیافراگم دایروی با مرکز ثابت پیشنهاد شده است. در میکروفن پیشنهادی دیافراگم شامل تعدادی حفره می‌باشد که موجب عبور هوا در شکاف مابین صفحه پشتی و دیافراگم می‌شود و به این ترتیب میرائی مربوط به صدا را در میکروفن کاهش می‌دهد. ‌تازگی این روش، ایجاد میکروفن دایروی با مرکز ثابت می‌باشد که قطر دیافراگم کمتر از میکروفن خازنی مرسوم به دست می‌آید. ابتدا تحلیل مکانیکی روی دیافراگم میکروفن انجام می‌گیرد تا ولتاژ کششی به دست آید. ولتاژ کششی میکروفن دایروی پیشنهادی 14 ولت می‌باشد. با توجه به ولتاژ کششی بدست آمده٬ ولتاژ بایاس به میکروفن اعمال شده و پارامترهای مختلف مانند ظرفیت خازنی و حساسیت اندازه‌گیری شد. با توجه به نتایج شبیه‌سازی کامسول (COMSOL)، میکروفن پیشنهادی با دیافراگم به قطر 400 میکرومتر و ضخامت 5/1 میکرومتر، حساسیت‌ 23- دسی‌بل را نشان داد. در مقایسه با کارهای قبلی، میکروفن پیشنهادی با ولتاژ تغذیه کمتر عملکرد فرکانسی بهتر و حساسیت بیشتری را برای سنس نمودن صدا عرضه می‌کند پرونده مقاله

        Complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) based microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) resonators are the main component of modern integrated systems that are designed and fabricated using CMOS composite layers. The design of these resonators, which are actuated electrostatically, is strongly dependent on the ambient temperature and the used materials. Important factors, such as structural features, actuator type, and the used materials should be considered in the design of micro resonators because they strongly affect the quality factor, power consumption and operating frequency of these devices. However, in designing micro resonators, electrostatic actuators are preferred over other actuator types due to their lower manufacturing cost, lower losses, and higher controllability. In this paper, first, some micro resonators are designed and their structures are then investigated. The micro resonators are mechanically analyzed to optimize their dimensions. A bias voltage of 0.1 V is applied to the micro resonators to investigate their feasibility for implantable biomedical applications. The switching time for a Zinc (Zn) movable plate is equal to 0.5 µs. In this paper, the role of device dimensions, Young’s modulus, switching time, material type, bridge displacement, and voltage (which is an important challenge in electrostatic resonators since it is usually high), as well as the effects of temperature on displacement are investigated. پرونده مقاله

        با توسعه ریزفناوری میکروماشین کاری و میکروالکترونیک، میکروهیترها کاربردهای زیادی در میکروحسگرها پیدا کرده اند. یکنواختی توزیع دما یکی از عوامل تاثیرگذار در افزایش حساسیت و دقت یک حسگر گازی است که در آن هیتر استفاده شده است. در این مقاله روش قرار دادن لایه نازک سیلیکون در زیر غشای دی الکتریک به منظور بهبود یکنواختی گرما در میکروهیتر، مورد بررسی قرار گرفته است. دو میکروهیتر پلاتینی با ساختار غشای معلق بر روی بستر سیلیکون و بر پایه فناوری میکروماشین کاری حجمی طراحی، ساخته و مشخصه یابی شده اند. در میکروهیتر اول از لایه نازک سیلیکون به ضخامت µm10 در زیر غشای دی الکتریک استفاده شده است در حالیکه میکروهیتر دوم بدون این لایه ساخته شده است. نتایج شبیه سازی نشان می دهد که با قرار دادن لایه نازک سیلیکون، یکنواختی توزیع دما و استحکام مکانیکی بهبود می یابد درحالیکه توان مصرفی و پاسخ زمانی افزایش می یابد. هم چنین نتایج تجربی به نتایج حاصل از شبیه سازی بسیار نزدیک است و نشان می دهد که میکروهیتر با لایه نازک سیلیکون به ضخامت µm10 برای رسیدن به دمای oC500 دارای توان مصرفی و پاسخ زمانی mW50 و ms23/4 به ترتیب می باشد ولی میکروهیتر ساخته شده بدون این لایه، برای رسیدن به این دما دارای توان مصرفی و پاسخ زمانی mW13 و ms4/2 است. پرونده مقاله
