The paper deals with the mechanical behavior of a micro-beam bonded with two piezoelectric layers. The micro-beam is suspended over a fixed substrate and undergoes the both piezoelectric and electrostatic actuation. The piezoelectric layers are poled through the thickness and equipped with surface electrodes. The equation governing the micro-beam deflection under electrostatic pressure is deriv...

the one-dimensional model of lippincott and schroeder for hydrogen bond has been re-examined and it has been shown that o-h bond distance depends on repulsive van der waals and attractive electrostatic potentials.it has been shown that constant b in the van der waals repulsion potential is not transferable to all hydrogen bonds. the possibility of obtaining the semi-empircal parameters in the l...

This work reports on the modelling of, and experiments on, a method in which liquid is transported as droplets on a planar hydrophobic surface with no moving parts, merely through electrostatic forces generated by the underlying electrodes. Two-directional transportation along a straight electrode path and across a junction, fusion of two droplets and methods for importing, exporting and filter...
