In this paper, the vibrations of thin plate in modified couple stress thermoelastic medium by using Kirchhoff- Love plate theory has been investigated. The governing equations of motion and heat conduction equation for Lord Shulman (L-S) [1] theory are written with the help of Kirchhoff- Love plate theory. The thermoelastic damping of micro-beam resonators is analyzed by using the normal mode a...

The thermal damping of a dynamic vibrating micromirror is an important factor affecting the design of MEMS based actuator systems. In the development process of new micromirror systems, assessing the extent of energy loss due to thermal damping accurately and predicting the performance of the system is very essential. In this paper, the depth of the thermal penetration layer at different eigenf...

Air-film damping, which dominates over other losses, plays a significant role in the dynamic response of many micro-fabricated devices with a movable mass suspended by various bearing mechanisms. Modeling the damping characteristics accurately will be greatly helpful to the bearing design, control, and test in various micromotor devices. This paper presents the simulated and experimental squeez...

Asymptotic stability of finite energy solutions to a fluid-structure interaction with a static interface in a bounded domain Ω∈Rnn, n=2, is considered. Nonlinear interior damping and dynamic and static boundary damping are exploited to stabilize the system. It is shown that the undamped model subject to “partial flatness” geometric condition on the interface produces solutions whose energy conv...

The present paper investigates an intuitive way of robot path planning, called robot teaching by demonstration. In this method, an operator holds the robot end-effector and moves it through a number of positions and orientations in order to teach it a desired task. The presented control architecture applies impedance control in such a way that the end-effector follows the operator’s hand with d...

A wave model is proposed for estimating damping loss factor as a function of frequency for a beam with arbitrary transient loading applied through the boundary conditions. In contrast to modal methods which provide measures of damping only at the modal frequencies of the test structure, the damping factor is determined over discrete, but regularly spaced, frequency values associated with the te...

The asymptotic behavior as well as the global existence of classical solutions to the 3D compressible Euler equations are considered. For polytropic perfect gas P ρ P0ρ , time asymptotically, it has been proved by Pan and Zhao 2009 that linear damping and slip boundary effect make the density satisfying the porous medium equation and the momentum obeying the classical Darcy’s law. In this paper...

Film damping caused by microfluids has important effects on the dynamic characteristics of moving elements of microelectromechanical system devices. There are two kinds of film damping existing in microelectromechanical system devices, for instance, slide film damping and squeeze film damping. This article presents an overview on the recent research progress on the slide film damping in microel...
