Reduced-Order Models of Stress-Stiffened MEMS Structures

Varghese M., Rabinovich V.L., Senturia S.D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US

We present a process for generating reduced-order models for stress-stiffened MEMS structures. The models are created using the established CHURN process, which uses non-linear, analytic, energy functions to describe the state of each conservative quasi-static [...]

Reduced-Order Modeling of Lorentz Force Actuation with Modal Basis Functions

Varghese M., Rabinovich V.L., Senturia S.D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US

We present a method for generating dynamic reduced-order models for Lorentz force actuation in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). These models, derived from a set of meshed simulations, are analytical representations of the magnetic co-energy of a [...]
