Development of piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers
Piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers (pMUTs) are an example of the application of MEMS technology to ultrasound generation and detection, which is expected to offer many advantages over conventional transducers. In this work, we investigate pMUTs through novel design and fabrication methods. A finite element (FE) model, with original tools to measure device performance, was develo...
متن کاملMathematical modeling of blood clot fragmentation during flow-mediated thrombolysis.
A microscale mathematical model of blood clot dissolution based on coarse-grained molecular dynamics is presented. In the model, a blood clot is assumed to be an assembly of blood cells interconnected with elastic fibrin bonds, which are cleaved either biochemically (bond degradation) or mechanically (bond overstretching) during flow-mediated thrombolysis. The effect of a thrombolytic agent on ...
متن کاملOil-water de-emulsification using ultrasonic technology.
In this paper an oil-water de-emulsification process within large tanks using ultrasonic technology is presented. As the device would operate in hazardous areas, it should not consume an excessive amount of electrical power. Hence, the paper investigates the suitable oil-water concentrations (10-90% concentrations in step of 10%) which would lead to the fastest separation while consuming the mi...
متن کاملPiezoelectric ultrasonic micromotors
This thesis describes development of a new actuator technology for integrated machines of the future: piezoelectric ultrasonic micromotors. Ultrasonic motors o er the advantages of low speed, high torque operation without the need for gears. They can be made compact and lightweight and provide a holding torque in the absence of applied power due to the traveling wave frictional coupling mechani...
متن کاملMicro Piezoelectric Ultrasonic Motors
This paper reviews recent developments of micro ultrasonic rotary motors using piezoelectric resonant vibrations. Following the historical background, four ultrasonic motors recently developed at Penn State University are introduced; windmill, PZT tube, metal tube, and shear-type motors. Driving principles and motor characteristics are described in comparison with the conventional ultrasonic mo...
