Stability Analysis in Parametrically Excited Electrostatic Torsional Micro-actuators
This paper addresses the static and dynamic stabilities of a parametrically excited torsional micro-actuator. The system is composed of a rectangular micro-mirror symmetrically suspended between two electrodes and acted upon by a steady (dc ) while simultaneously superimposed to an (ac ) voltage. First, the stability of the system subjected to a quasi-statically applied (dc ) voltage is investi...
متن کاملDynamics of Polysilicon Parallel-plate Electrostatic Actuators
The response of a polysilicon parallel-plate electrostatic actuator to AC signals at diierent bias voltages has been measured with a laser interferometer. Using microhinges, large plates (with areas from 100m 2 to 0:1mm 2) with long thin support beams (such as 60031:5m 3) are rotated oo the surface of the substrate to form a parallel-plate capacitor. Fabricated structures having 100m gaps can b...
متن کاملDesign of Large Deflection Electrostatic Actuators
Electrostatic, comb-drive actuators have been designed for applications requiring displacements of up to 150 μm in less than 1 msec. A nonlinear model of the actuator relates the resonant frequency and the maximum stable deflection to the actuator dimensions. A suite of experiments that were carried out on DRIE, single-crystal silicon, comb-drive actuators confirm the validity of the model. Fou...
متن کاملDesign of Electrostatic Actuators for MOEMS Applications
We propose a novel method for pull-in analysis in electrostatic actuation. In this method, pull-in angle can be found once the capacitance of electrodes is calculated as a function of rotation angle. This is based on our theory, which is that the pull-in angle only depends on the capacitance but not on spring constants or applied voltage. The theory is derived analytically and its limit of appl...
متن کاملArticulated Mechanisms and Electrostatic Actuators for Autonomous
Enabled by advances in both integrated circuit technology and micro electrome-chanical systems (MEMS), the continuing miniaturization and integration of electronics, sensors, actuators and mechanisms will make it feasible to create insect-sized autonomous microrobots. We propose to create a class of autonomous crawling microrobots the size on the order of 1cm 3 and equipped with a power source,...
