Electrostatic microactuators for precise positioning and comparison of their parameters
نویسندگان
چکیده
Comparison of several types of electrostatic microactuators is carried out, particularly with respect to their resultant force effects. The continuous mathematical model of such actuators is mostly described by the Laplace equation. In this paper, its numerical solution is performed by a fully adaptive higher-order finite element method, using a code developed by the authors. The methodology is illustrated with typical examples whose results are discussed.

Control of Impact Microactuators for Precise Positioning
Electrically driven impact microactuators generate nanoscale displacements without large driving distances and high voltages. These systems exhibit complex dynamics because of inherent nonlinearities due to impacts, friction, and electric forces. As a result, dramatic changes in system behavior, associated with socalled grazing bifurcations, may occur during the transition between impacting and...

متن کاملEvaluation of the Regularization Algorithm to Decorrelation of Covariance Matrix of Float Ambiguity in Fast Resolution of GPS Ambiguity Parameters
Precise positioning in Real Time Kinematic (RTK) applications depends on the accurate resolution of the phase ambiguities. In RTK positioning, ambiguity parameters are highly correlated, especially when the positioning rate is high. Consequently, application of de-correlation techniques for the accurate resolution of ambiguities is inevitable. Phase ambiguity as positioning observations by the ...
متن کاملInvestigation of MODIS mission capability in tropospheric delay estimation for precise point positioning
Tropospheric delay is always considered as one of the factors limiting the accuracy of GPS. In this paper, the three-dimensional ray tracing technique is proposed to calculate the tropospheric delay. The ability of the MODIS mission to calculate the tropospheric delay is also examined. For this purpose, an area in central Europe was selected and a MODIS acquisition on 2008/08/01 was studied. In...
