Reliability- and performance-based robust design optimization of MEMS structures considering technological uncertainties

TL;DR: In this article, the applicability of a reliability and performance-based multi-criteria robust design optimization technique for micro-electromechanical systems, considering their technological uncertainties, is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vibrations of parallel arrays of electrostatically actuated microplates

TL;DR: In this article, small vibrations of a parallel array of microplates predeformed by an electric field were studied and closed-form expressions for the array's modal properties, including resonance frequencies, mode shapes, and modal dampings were derived.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonlinear behaviour of electrically actuated microplate-based MEMS resonators

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the nonlinear dynamical characteristics of an imperfect microplate-based microelectromechanical system (MEMS), taking into account geometric nonlinearities, geometric imperfections, small-size effects, and all the transverse and in-plane inertia and displacements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Design and characterization of AlN-based in-plane microplate resonators

TL;DR: In this article, a design procedure to perform an efficient actuation of in-plane modes in piezoelectric resonators is presented, which is applied to different microplate structures, paying attention to contour modes and flexure-actuated modes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Numerical analysis of fluid–structure interaction effects on vibrations of cantilever microstructure

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical analysis of squeeze-film damping effects on free and forced vibrations of cantilever microstructure was performed using three separate finite element models, each model is based on different form of Reynolds equation: nonlinear, linearized and linearized incompressible.
