Analytical Modeling of Beam Behavior Under Different Actuations

Sarraute E., Dufour I., URA CNRS 1375, FR

The aim of this paper is to establish simple analytical equations of the beam deflection for different actuation methods (magnetic with current, magnetic with magnet, electrostatic and piezoelectric). The analytical formulae are obtained from the [...]

Energy-Based Solution Method for the Global Behavior of Diaphragms Under Pneumatic and Electrostatic Pressure

Francais O., Dufour I., LISiR-URA-CNRS, FR

In this paper, an approximate analytical solution is presented for the diaphragm's deflection based on energ minimization. through the use of a polynomial solution technique. Thanks to this method. we obtain not onlY the center [...]
