Abstract: In this work, we investigate the stability and integrity of parallel-plate microelectromechanical systems resonators using a delayed feedback controller. Two case studies are investigated: a ...

Abstract: Squeeze film damping has a significant effect on the dynamic response of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) devices that employ perforated microstructures with large planar areas and small gap ...

Abstract: This paper presents an investigation into the nonlinear effect of squeeze-film damping on the response of a clamped–clamped microbeam to mechanical shock. In this work, we solve simultaneously ...

Abstract: This study presents an effort to explore the exploitation of dynamic instabilities and bifurcations in micro-electro-mechanical systems to realize novel methods and functionalities for mass sensing ...

Abstract: We present an investigation into the effect of the motion of a printed circuit board (PCB) on the response of a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device to shock loads. A two-degrees-of-freedom ...

Abstract: This work presents an investigation of the nonlinear dynamics of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) when actuated by a dc load superimposed to an ac harmonic load. Cantilevered and clamped-clamped CNTs ...

Abstract: We present a new method for simulating squeeze-film damping of microplates actuated by large electrostatic loads. The method enables the prediction of the quality factors of microplates under a ...

Abstract: Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are often used in portable electronic devices that are vulnerable to mechanical shock or impact, such as that induced due to accidental drops on the ground. ...
