Damping and stiffening forces of a squeeze-film between two plates
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
Silicon microstructures, especially sensors and actuators, are characterized by squeeze film between the moving elements and the fixed substrates. The effect of the squeeze film has been represented by the damping effect ...
Superharmonic Responses of an Oscillator with Impact
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Superharmonic responses are characteristic of many nonlinear systems undergoing high intensity of excitation. Recent experimental investigation findings ...
Design, analysis and dynamic phenomena of MEMS capacitive power harvester
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
Unwanted vibrations are all around us in our daily life. These vibrations can effectively be converted into electrical power through capacitive device. Even though the amount of power generated is small ([mu]W), it is still ...
Fabrication and characterization of heat flux sensor using polymer derived ceramics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
In this study, a free standing Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) sensor made from Polymer Derived Ceramics (PDCs) for high temperature application (above 1000[degrees]C) is fabricated. A newly developed fabrication ...
Design and simulation analysis of MEMS parallel plate capacitor models for voltage conversion and power harvesting
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
In environment, unwanted and undamped vibrations are abundantly available which can be converted into electrical energy and used for energy harvesting. This paper contains the design, modeling and simulation results of ...
