A Novel Topology Optimization Scheme for Micro Electro-Thermo-Mechanical Domains

Motiee M., Khajepour A., Mansour R.R., University of Waterloo, CA

Developing a systematic approach to design optimum Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems MEMS, recently has received a numerous attention among researchers. Duo to the lack of a systematic design method, typical MEMS devices design procedures encompass trial and [...]

New Analysis Method for Coupled-Field Micro Devices

Motiee M., Khajepour A., Mansour R.R., University of Waterloo, CA

MEMS actuators are typically used for either one time deployment of structures for automatic assembly or constant periodic actuation as in case of micro optic scanners. Electro-thermal actuators rely on the joule heating resulting small [...]

Modeling, Fabrication and Experiment of a Novel Lateral MEMS IF/RF Filter

Motiee M., Khajepour A., Mansour R.R., University of Waterloo, CA

MEMS based mechanical resonators and filters have shown promising characteristics in achieving high Q values and good stability. This paper introduces a novel V-shape coupling element that is used to mechanically couple two clamped-clamped MEMS [...]
