Abstract: A novel application of phase-space warping (PSW) method to detect fatigue in the musculoskeletal system is presented. Experimental kinematic, force, and physiological signals are used to produce a fatigue metric. The metric ...

Abstract: Noise-induced motions are a significant source of uncertainty in the response of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). This is particularly the case for electrostatic MEMS where electrical and mechanical sources contribute ...

Abstract: This article provides criteria for the design of electrostatic arch micro-tweezers. The tweezers can be operated in two modes: a traditional quasi-static mode where a direct current voltage commands the tweezers arms along ...
