  • Electrostatically actuated and bi-stable MEMS structures 

    Upadhye, Abhijit (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 

    Paspuleti, Suma (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 ...

  • Positive displacement fluid flutter using plate strain energy deflection 

    Chapman, Robert D. (Robert Douglas) (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
    In nature, there exist highly evolved mechanical systems which exploit passive mechanical compliance and material property transients to impart hydraulic actuation and fluid motion. The human heart generates blood flow ...

  • Signal processing techniques for nonlinearity identification of structures using transient response 

    Dinardo, Joseph E., 1984- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
    In this work, an alternate method for determining nonlinearity of vibrating structures is investigated. In contrast to previous approaches, transient vibrations have been used in combination with advanced signal processing ...
