Design and modelling of MEMS test structures for the analysis of fatigue damage occurring in oscillating microstructures is presented. Finite Element models are realized to design specimen shapes and electro-mechanical actuation parameters. Two different structural geometries are defined to obtain both traction and shear tensile specimen actuations through the actuation of out-of-plane movable ...

A design synthesis technique based on sensitivity for Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) proposed. This new technique can be called Sensitivity-Based Direct Solution Algorithm (DSA) of design synthesis for MEMS with expected performance. Design synthesis with expected performance is regarded as a reverse problem of MEMS analysis. Behavior equation group can be educed from analysis equation...

MEMS is an acronym for Microelectro Mechanical Systems, it defines mechanical structures fabricated with IC processing on (most often) silicon wafers. In Europe, MEMS is labeled Microsystems and in Japan it is labeled Micromachines. The term MEMS evolved in the United States in the 1990s. Prior to that period the technology was labeled silicon micromachining . MEMS defines the technology; not s...
