Modelling methodology of MEMS structures based on Cosserat theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
Modelling MEMS involves a variety of software tools that deal with the analysis of complex geometrical structures and the assessment of various interactions among different energy domains and components. Moreover, the MEMS market is growing very fast, but surprisingly, there is a paucity of modelling and simulation methodology for precise performance verification of MEMS products in the nonlinear regime. For that reason, an efficient and rapid modelling approach is proposed that meets the linear and nonlinear dynamic behaviour of MEMS systems.

Generation of MEMS component models using Cosserat symbolic simulations
This paper describes how models of slender MEMS components can be generated using symbolic simulations based on Cosserat theory. Due to the generality of the method, models can be generated for a wide range of components under different stress conditions. The structure of the Cosserat-based models is presented, showing their concise, mathematically accurate representation. This potentially resu...
متن کاملComputational Cosserat Dynamics in MEMS Component Modelling
The modelling strategy and simulation of flexible components of MEMS are addressed in this article. A newly developed Cosserat Rod Element (CRE) approach is employed to model the nonlinear dynamic equations of motion for micro resonators. Models constructed using this approach seek to capture the most significant characteristics of a microstructure in a few variables governed by a few ordinary ...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Nonlinear Dynamics of Slender Structures: Cosserat Rod Element Approach
In this paper, the modelling strategy of a Cosserat rod element (CRE) is addressed systematically for 3-dimensional dynamical analysis of slender structures. We employ the nonlinear kinematic relationships in the sense of Cosserat theory, and adopt the Bernoulli hypothesis. The Kirchoff constitutive relations are adopted to provide an adequate description of elastic properties in terms of a few...
متن کاملNumerical modeling of 3-D comb drive electrostatic accelerometers structure (method of levitation force reduction)
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to discuss the numerical modelling of 3D structure of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers. The general idea being discussed is the method of levitation force reduction, as the main source of incorrect mathematical model of comb drive structure. Design/methodology/approach – Accelerometers design is a highly interdisciplinary area and, th...
متن کاملMacroscopic modelling of structured materials: Relationship between orthotropic Cosserat continuum and rigid elements
The macroscopic modelling of in-plane elastic behaviour of composite solids made with regular orthotropic texture is the object of the present study. At the macro-scale, the effect of heterogeneity can be included by adopting an homogenisation toward a generalised continuum on which specific finite element codes are based. As an alternative, a specific rigid element approach has been recently p...
