This research examines on a new class of MEMS inertia mass sensors that are simple,
sensitive, and selective in possibly detecting tiny objects. The sensor consists of two beams …

We propose to use a shallow arched microbeam to design a compact 2D energy harvesting
device using a single electrostatic transducer. The proposed design can transform any in …

Kirigami structures provide a promising approach to transform flat films into 3D complex
structures that are difficult to achieve by conventional fabrication approaches. By designing …

In this study, we consider a pressure sensor whose main component is a clamped-clamped
shallow arched microbeam. Two fixed electrodes are used to actuate the microbeam in the …

Microrobots are becoming revolutionary instruments in many domains, especially
biomedical applications where their capacity to maneuver through intricate settings and …

In this paper, we investigate numerically the dynamic snap-through motion of a shallow arch
micro-beam that is electrostatically excited through three separated electrodes. It is excited …

The study brings forth extended criteria for electrostatically actuated micro-plates, which take
into account the presence of prestress. Following previous studies that analysed the veracity …

This paper investigates the responses of initially curved micro-beams subjected to an
electrostatic excitation. A Euler–Bernoulli beam theory is utilized to derive the governing …

In the present study, an expanded dynamic model of an electrostatically actuated double
beam metastructure, composed of geometrically different beams, is formulated and solved …

In this study, a set of criteria, which defines the appearance of dynamic bistability in curved
beams is formulated and validated. Such a form of bistability can appear in curved …
