Compact Model Of Squeeze-Film Damping Based On Rarefied Flow Simulations
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new compact model of squeeze-film damping is developed based on the numerical solution of the Boltzmann kinetic equation. It provides a simple expression for the damping coefficient and the quality factor valid through the slip, transitional and free-molecular regimes. In this work, we have applied statistical analysis to the current model using the chi-squared test. The damping predictions are compared with both Reynolds equation-based models and experimental data. At high Knudsen numbers, the structural damping dominates the gas squeeze-film damping. When the structural damping is subtracted from the measured total damping force, good agreement is found between the model predictions and the experimental data.

Uncertainty quantification models for micro-scale squeeze-film damping
Two squeeze-film gas damping models are proposed to quantify uncertainties associated with the gap size and the ambient pressure. Modeling of gas damping has become a subject of increased interest in recent years due to its importance in micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). In addition to the need for gas damping models for design of MEMS with movable micro-structures, knowledge of paramete...

In the current study, the effects of Casimir force and squeeze film damping on pull-in instability and dynamic behavior of electrostatically actuated nano and micro electromechanical systems are investigated separately. Linear elastic membrane theory is used to model the static and dynamic behavior of the system for strip, annular and disk geometries. Squeeze film damping is modeled using nonli...

Squeeze film dampers (SFDs) are often used in machines with high rotational speed to reduce non-periodic behavior by creating external damping. There are some structural parameters which are of great importance in designing these systems, such as oil film thickness and inner race mass of SFD. Moreover, there is a crucial parameter associated with manufacturing process, under the title of wavine...

We consider squeeze film gas damping during microbeam motion away and toward a substrate as occurs during opening and closing of RF switches and other MEMS devices. The numerical solution of the gas damping problem in two-dimensional geometries is obtained based on the Boltzmann-ESBGK equation. The difference in damping force between downward and upward moving beams is shown to vary from as lit...
متن کاملAn Analytical Model for Squeeze-Film Damping of Perforated Torsional Microplates Resonators
Squeeze-film damping plays a significant role in the performance of micro-resonators because it determines their quality factors. Perforations in microstructures are often used to control the squeeze-film damping in micro-resonators. To model the perforation effects on the squeeze-film damping, many analytical models have been proposed, however, most of the previous models have been concerned w...
