چکیده
The work reported here combines elements of electromechanics, power electronics and applied control primarily in the analysis, design and control of energy conversion systems. The principal applications focus on systems involving: macro-scale rotating machinery; micro-scale (MEMS) sensors, actuators and energy converters; and flexible structures. In these applications, the dual use of electromechanical actuators as motion and force sensors, and vice versa, is also a common theme.

Review on the Modeling of Electrostatic MEMS
Electrostatic-driven microelectromechanical systems devices, in most cases, consist of couplings of such energy domains as electromechanics, optical electricity, thermoelectricity, and electromagnetism. Their nonlinear working state makes their analysis complex and complicated. This article introduces the physical model of pull-in voltage, dynamic characteristic analysis, air damping effect, re...
متن کاملThe importance of mechano-electrical feedback and inertia in cardiac electromechanics.
In the past years, a number cardiac electromechanics models have been developed to better understand the excitation-contraction behavior of the heart. However, there is no agreement on whether inertial forces play a role in this system. In this study, we assess the influence of mass in electromechanical simulations, using a fully coupled finite element model. We include the effect of mechano-el...
متن کاملParallel FEM Simulation of Electromechanics in the Heart
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in America. Computer simulation of complicated dynamics of the heart could provide valuable quantitative guidance for diagnosis and treatment of heart problems. In this paper, we present an integrated numerical model which encompasses the interaction of cardiac electrophysiology, electromechanics, and mechanoelectrical feedback. The model is ...
متن کاملA fully implicit finite element method for bidomain models of cardiac electromechanics.
We propose a novel, monolithic, and unconditionally stable finite element algorithm for the bidomain-based approach to cardiac electromechanics. We introduce the transmembrane potential, the extracellular potential, and the displacement field as independent variables, and extend the common two-field bidomain formulation of electrophysiology to a three-field formulation of electromechanics. The ...
متن کاملCoilgun Technology at the Center for Electromechanics, the University of Texas at Austin
This paper describes the engineering trade-offs ’ performed on a coilgun design a t the Center for Electromechanics at The University of Texas at Austin (CEMUT). The concept used was that of a collapsing field accelerator. This concept was chosen because of its passive operation, and because it lent itself to existing power supplies. The trade-offs described, however, should be performed on any...
