Thermally actuated shape-memory polymers: Experiments, theory, and numerical simulations
With the aim of developing a thermo-mechanically-coupled large-deformation constitutive theory and a numerical-simulation capability for modeling the response of thermally-actuated shape-memory polymers, we have (i) conducted large strain compression experiments on a representative shape-memory polymer to strains of approximately unity at strain rates of 10 s and 10 s, and at temperatures rangi...
متن کاملThermo-mechanical optimization of thermally actuated cantilever arrays
Scanning probe lithography (SPL) is an emerging method of producing sub 50-nm features for semiconductor applications. A new variation of this process known as Dip Pen Nanolithography (DPN) expands the range of SPL capabilities to include depositing organic and biological macromolecules with nanometer precision. Recent work has been underway to implement DPN as parallel process by employing clo...
متن کاملShape Optimization of Electrostatically Actuated Micro Cantilever Beam with Extended Travel Range Using Simulated Annealing
The pull-in instability places substantial restrictions on the performance of electrostatically driven MEMS devices by limiting their range of travel. Our objective is to present a systematic method of carrying out optimal design of novel types of electrostatic beams that have enhanced travel ranges. In this paper, we implement a shape optimization methodology using simulated annealing to maxim...
متن کاملExperimentally Matched Finite Element Modeling of Thermally Actuated SOI MEMS Micro-Grippers Using COMSOL Multiphysics
Engineering MEMS devices using finite element analysis can be very rewarding, provided the analysis is valid, i.e. it accurately simulates reality throughout the desired range of input and resultant imposition upon dependent physical properties and behavior. With respect to FEM’s use in MEMS, it is can be very useful. Doped single crystal silicon is a substance whose material and physical prope...
متن کاملDesign of a Thermally-Actuated Gas Lift Safety Valve
Gas-lifted oil wells are susceptible to failure through malfunction of gas lift valve assemblies (GLV). One failure mode occurs when the GLV check valve fails and product passes into the well annulus, potentially reaching the wellhead. This is a growing concern as offshore wells are drilled thousands of meters below the ocean floor in extreme temperature and pressure conditions, and repair and ...
