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 ... -
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 (μW), it is still ... -
Dynamic study of the piezo-driven pipettes in intracytoplasmic sperm injection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is regarded as a critical assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedure in which a single spermatozoon is mechanically injected into the cytoplasm of an oocyte using an injection ... -
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°C) is fabricated. A newly developed fabrication method to ... -
Superharmonic Responses of an Oscillator with Impact
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Superharmonic responses are characteristic of many nonlinear systems undergoing high intensity of excitation. Recent experimental investigation findings of energy harvesting involves nonlinear systems have observed ...
