Ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) materials are promising candidates for soft robotics and artificial muscle applications. The primary actuation mechanism in such devices is ion migration in a polymer membrane, localized swelling, and a corresponding overall material deformation, ... En savoir plus
Radio frequency (RF) micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) switch works in on/off modes controlled by electrostatic forces. In off mode, rough surfaces of electrodes come into a contact. Membrane contact surfaces have complex surface roughness patterns and the mechanical contact problem ... En savoir plus
An organic-inorganic dual-channel sensor makes a strong chemical gas sensor because this device design combines the high chemical sensitivities and selectivity of organic semiconductors [1-4] with the superior electrical performance and convenient integration of silicon semiconductors. ...

The paper exhibits the process followed to obtain the geometry of a support for a MEMS inertial sensor by means of a topology optimization process. The SIMP method is used for the optimization process in which the objective is to obtain a support structure with a minimum rigidity ... En savoir plus
Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms, has demonstrated extremely high electric and thermal conductivities, tensile strength, and is therefore an exciting novel building block in the world of 2D flexible electronics. We propose the integration of graphene with MEMS devices to ... En savoir plus
Micro hot embossing on a large area polymeric substrates using roll-to-roll (R2R) mode has been considered as one of the most promising technologies that can offer continuous fabrication of large area polymeric substrates. Besides continuous operation, roll-to-roll (R2R) process offers ... En savoir plus
The analyzed MEMS oscillator is composed by a spring (beam) supported mass that needs to vibrate with a high Q-factor in the horizontal plane. Nevertheless, the transverse motion needs to be highly damped (low Q-factor). The purpose of the work was to explore different system ... En savoir plus
Silk is one of the longest used and most recognizable textiles that we, as a society, use regularly. We see it as a luxury good, worn as an indicator of success and value. However, despite mankind having domesticated and farmed silkworms for millennia, we still know relatively little ... En savoir plus
The design of surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices needs the accurate study of the scattering fields, arising from the interaction of SAW with periodic irregularities placed on a surface of crystal to form interdigital transducers or reflective structures (RS). To solve this problem, the ... En savoir plus
In this paper, we focused on modeling of the piezoresistive pressure sensors. The Structural Mechanics Module of COMSOL Multiphysics® software is used to model the sensor and make a comparative study of the MEMS pressure sensor with different shape and size of membrane. The impact of ... En savoir plus
