Description

Sensors and actuators are now part of our everyday life and appear in many appliances, such as cars, vending machines and washing machines. MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) are micro systems consisting of micro mechanical sensors, actuators and micro electronic circuits. A variety of MEMS devices have been developed and many mass produced, but the information on these is widely dispersed in the literature. This book presents the analysis and design principles of MEMS devices. The information is comprehensive, focusing on microdynamics, such as the mechanics of beam and diaphragm structures, air damping and its effect on the motion of mechanical structures. Using practical examples, the author examines problems associated with analysis and design, and solutions are included at the back of the book. The ideal advanced level textbook for graduates, Analysis and Design Principles of MEMS Devices is a suitable source of reference for researchers and engineers in the field.

Key Features

* Presents the analysis and design principles of MEMS devices more systematically than ever before.

* Includes the theories essential for the analysis and design of MEMS includes the dynamics of micro mechanical structures

* A problem section is included at the end of each chapter with answers provided at the end of the book.

Readership

Graduate students, researchers and engineers developing new MEMS devices

    Analysis and Design Principles of MEMS Devices

    Very good book. I bought it to use chapter on squeeze film air damping but read some other sections as well. I like systematic flow of information, coverage of main topics related to mechanics of typical MEMS structures and in-depth analysis of some important cases. MEMS field is very wide. No surprise that some areas important for design of MEMS devices are not covered. In particular, properties of silicon (electrical, thermal, chemical) could be discussed more. This is basic information for MEMS designers. Temperature effects also can be discussed deeper. There is practically no analysis of design for manufacturability - analysis of tolerances related to manufacturing of MEMS structures and their effect on distributions of parameters of MEMS devices - link between process and design.
