Mixed-Level Model for Highly Perforated Torsional Actuators Coupling the Mechanical, the Electrostatic and the Fluidic Domain

Sattler R., Schrag G., Wachutka G., Institute for Physics of Electrotechnology, DE

Electrostatic attraction between neighboring electrodes is a widely used actuation principle employed in tiltable micromirrors or microrelays. Electrostatic actuation is especially favored for switching applications in mobile telecommunication because of its low power consumption. State-of-the-art [...]

Modeling and Design Optimization of a Novel Micropump

Klein A., Matsumoto S., Gerlach G., Dresden University of Technology, DE

The purpose of this paper is to give an overview about the design process of a new-type micropump. Four different coupled physical domains must be considered. The coupling effects on the pysical level are modeled [...]
