Mechanical Fatigue on Gold MEMS Devices: Experimental Results
Giorgio De Pasquale, Aurelio Somà, Alberto Ballestra
The effect of mechanical fatigue on structural performances of gold devices is investigated. The pull-in voltage of special testing micro-systems is monitored during the cyclical l…
RF-MEMS beam components : FEM modelling and experimental identification of pull-in in presence of residual stress
Alberto Ballestra, Eugenio Brusa, Giorgio De Pasquale +2
In this paper an experimental validation of numerical approaches aimed to predict the coupled behaviour of microbeams for out-of-plane bending tests is performed. This work complet…
Comparison Between Damping Coefficients of Measured Perforated Micromechanical Test Structures and Compact Models
T. Veijola, Giorgio De Pasquale, Aurelio Somà
Measured damping coefficients of six different perforated micromechanical test structures are compared with damping coefficients given by published compact models. The motion of th…
Experimental Characterization of the static behaviour of microcatntilevers electrostatically actuated
A. Ballestra, E. Brusa, M. G. Munteanu +1
This paper concerns the experimental validation of some mathematical models previously developed by the authors, to predict the static behaviour of microelectrostatic actuators, ba…
Identification of Test Structures for Reduced Order Modeling of the Squeeze Film Damping in Mems
A. Soma, G. De Pasquale
In this study the dynamic behaviour of perforated microplates oscillating under the effect of squeeze film damping is analyzed. A numerical approach is adopted to predict the effec…
