Sensitivity of Initially Stressed Un-symmetric Micro-Layered Plate in Large Deflection due to Lateral Load

Chen C-F, Chung-Hua University, TW

Initial tension often arises in a typical micro-fabrication process. It has been well recognized that the magnitude of initial tension could be high enough to cause a serious degradation in structural performance such as the [...]

Linear Analysis of Large Deflection of Heated and Clamped Isotropic Layered Plate Under Initial Tension

Chen C-F, Yu J.C., Chung-Hua University, TW

A simplified linear problem is studied for the large deflection of a clamped and heated isotropic circular layered plate under pretension and uniform loading (Fig. 1 and 2). Including a thermal consideration, governing equations based [...]

Large-Deflection Beam Model for Schematic-Based Behavioral Simulation in NODAS

Jing Q., Mukherjee T., Fedder G.K., Carnegie Mellon University, US

MEMS design in NODAS is based on a geometrically intuitive schematic representation of MEMS using a small set of atomic elements (anchors, beams, plates and electrostatic gaps), each of which is associated with a geometrically [...]
