Electrostatically actuated and bi-stable MEMS structures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Bistable compliant micro-structures offer a tremendous advantage in the industry today, as these structures have an ability to maintain their shape ...
Mechanical and thermal buckling of thin films
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Devices with feature size on the order of one micrometer have found widespread applications in science and engineering. MEMS, is a rapidly growing technology for the fabrication of miniature devices which provides a way to integrate mechanical...
A study of parametric excitation applied to a MEMS tuning fork gyroscope
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The current MEMS ( gyroscopes which normally use the electro static force to excite the comb drive are faced with the limitations such as low precision, coupling problem, and poor robustness. We propose to use parametric ...
A development of the motile sperm sorting microfluidic devices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The objectives of this research are developing and improving an inexpensive and convenient microfluidic device to apply to sperm cell sorting. Based on well known soft-lithography fabrication method which contains rapid ...
