Comparing the performance of direct and parametric drives for piezoelectric MEMS actuators
Samer Houri, Veronique Rochus
This work investigates and compares the response of piezoelectrically actuated nonlinear microelectromechanical devices (MEMS) to direct and to degenerate parametric drives. We des…
