Eigenvalue Analysis of Tunable Micro-mechanical Actuator

Lee W-S., Kwon K-C., Kim B-K., Cho J-H., Youn S-K., KAIST, KR

An eigenvalue analysis of a tunable micro-mechanical actuator is presented. The actuator is modeled as a continuum structure. The eigenvalue modified by the tuning voltage is computed through the linearization of the relation between the [...]

Finite Element Based Reduced Order Modeling of Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS)

Ostergaard D.F., Gyimesi M., ANSYS, Inc., US

The paper demonstrates reduced order modeling (ROM) of the strongly coupled system level dynamic analysis of micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) by lumped finite elements (FE) and substructuring implemented in the ANSYS/Multiphysics program.

Finite Element Based Electrostatic-Structural Coupled Analysis with Automated Mesh Morphing

Zhulin V.I., Owen S.J., Ostergaard D.F., ANSYS, Inc., US

A co-simulation tool based on finite element principles has been developed to solve coupled electrostatic-structural problems. An automated mesh morphing algorithm has been employed to update the field mesh after structural deformation. The co-simulation tool [...]
