Simulation of a Buckled Cantilever Plate with Thermal Bimorph Actuators
INTRODUCTION: Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) are fabricated with an in-plane fabrication technology. Out-of-plane structures can be designed to be assembled to provide thermal and electrical isolation from the substrate [1 -3]. These isolations can potentially improve the performance of a range of MEMS devices by decreasing any unwanted coupling effects or parasitic losses from the dev...
متن کاملA soft-polymer piezoelectric bimorph cantilever-actuated peristaltic micropump.
A peristaltic micropump was fabricated and characterized. The micropump was fabricated using soft lithography, and actuated using piezoelectric bimorph cantilevers. The micropump channel was formed by bonding two layers of PDMS, mixed at 5:1 and 30:1 ratios. The channel was fabricated in the 5:1 layer using replica molding (REM), where a very simple and inexpensive template was made by straddli...
متن کاملOptimization of a circular piezoelectric bimorph for a micropump driver
Piezoelectric bimorph actuation has been successfully used in numerous types of microdevices, most notably micropumps. However, even for the simple case of circular geometry, analytical treatments are severely limited. This study utilized the finite-element method to optimize the deflection of a circular bimorph consisting of a single piezoelectric actuator, bonding material and elastic plate o...
متن کاملOptimization of Amorphous Silicon Solar Cells on Polymer Film Substrates
In this paper the authors present the results of different investigations concerning the development of a-Si:H solar cells on plastic film substrates. More precisely, this paper will discuss a) the evaluation and test of different polymer films as a suitable material for a-Si:H solar cell deposition, b) the optimisation of inverted n-i-p solar cells, and c) texturation of the plastic films by O...
متن کاملa study on rate making and required reserves determination in reinsurance market: a simulation
reinsurance is widely recognized as an important instrument in the capital management of an insurance company as well as its risk management tool. this thesis is intended to determine premium rates for different types of reinsurance policies. also, given the fact that the reinsurance coverage of every company depends upon its reserves, so different types of reserves and the method of their calc...
