In this article, the free vibration analysis of magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) Timoshenko micro beam model based on surface stress effect and modified strain gradient theory (MSGT) under moving nano-particle is presented. The governing equations of motion using Hamilton’s principle are derived and these equations are solved using differential quadrature method (DQM). The effects of dimensionless...

Abstract This research paper exhibits the design of a V-shaped cantilever beam as micro Energy Harvester (EH) having Piezoelectric (PZT) its energy source for biomedical applications. PZT based materials have ability to convert mechanical into electrical energy. Low-power devices mostly operate using (i.e. batteries). But batteries are treated bio-hazard due massive use To overcome this toxic b...

Empowering an indirect band-gap material like Si with optical functionalities, firstly light emission, represents a huge advancement constantly pursued in the realization of any integrated photonic device. We report the demonstration of giant photoluminescence (PL) emission by a newly synthesized material consisting of crystalline faceted Si grains (fg-Si), a hundred nanometer in size, assemble...

We report the first fabrication of vertical three-dimensional micro-Fresnel lenses with polysilicon materials by surface micromachining technique. Micro-Fresnel lenses play a very important role in micro-optics because of their thin film structures and their ability to achieve very short focal lengths. Although micro-Fresnel lenses have been studied and well understood [ 11, the lens planes usu...

In order to explore the influence of types waste gypsum on properties alkali slag cement, fluorogypsum (FG) and flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) were comparatively investigated. Moreover, action mechanisms FG FGD cement analyzed. The results show that both prolonged setting time paste. However, prolongation effect was more pronounced than gypsum. When compressive strength maximum, contents 5 6 wt...

In this research, we develop a micro-engineered conductive elastomeric electrode for measurements of human bio-potentials with the absence of conductive pastes. Mixing the biocompatible polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) silicone with other biocompatible conductive nano-particles further provides the material with an electrical conductivity. We apply micro-replica mold casting for the micro-structures...

For a micro-Computed Tomography (Micro-CT) system, the microfocus X-ray tube is an essential component because the spatial resolution of CT images, in theory, is mainly determined by the size and stability of the X-ray focal spot of the microfocus X-ray tube. However, many factors, including voltage fluctuations, mechanical vibrations, and temperature changes, can cause the size and the stabili...

A mass sensor innovative concept is presented here, based on a hollow plate Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) resonator. This approach consists in running a solution through an embedded microchannel, while the plate resonator is actuated according to a Lamé-mode by electrostatic coupling in dry environment. The experimental results have shown a clear relationship between the measured shift...
