An electrothermal microactuator with Z-shaped beams
This paper introduces a Z-shaped thermal microactuator for in-plane motion, which could be complementary to the well-established comb drives and V-shaped thermal actuators. The Z-shaped actuators share many features in common with the V-shaped ones, but offer certain advantages such as smaller feature size and larger displacement. They also offer a large range of stiffness and output force that...
متن کاملEvaluation and Ranking of Discrete Simulation Tools
In studying through simulation, choosing an appropriate tool/language would be a difficult task because many of them are available. On the other hand, few research works focus on evaluation of simulation tools/languages and their comparison. This paper makes a couple of evaluations and ranks more than fifty simulation tools that are currently available. The first evaluation and ranking is in th...
متن کاملComputational simulation of a magnetic microactuator for tissue engineering applications.
The next generation of tissue engineered constructs (TECs) requires the incorporation of a controllable and optimized microstructure if they are to chemically, mechanically, and biologically mimic tissue function. In order to obtain TECs with optimized microstructures, a combination of spatiotemporally regulated mechanical and biochemical stimuli is necessary during the formation of the constru...
متن کاملProposition of an Er Microactuator with Inherent Position Feedback Mechanism
The paper proposes and develops a novel smart ER microactuator with inherent position feedback mechanism. The microactuator consists of a pair of movable and fixed parallel plate electrodes with variable gap length and an upstream restrictor, and ERF (electro-rheological fluid) is supplied as a working fluid. By applying voltage to the electrodes, with the increased pressure drop due to ERF vis...
متن کاملDynamic simulation as a design tool for a microactuator array
Dan Reznik Stan Brown John Canny fdreznik,swb,[email protected] Dept. of EECS, UC-Berkeley, Berkeley, CA 94720 USA Abstract— We use dynamic simulation to optimize the design of an existing micro-electromechanical(MEM) device, called the Manipulation Chip (M-Chip). This device contains an excess of 10,000 moving actuators, called resonators, which oscillate torsionally at a few kHz. Parts dro...
