Design and Optimization of Electrostatically Actuated Micromirror

Anna Thomas[1], Juny Thomas[1], Deepika Vijayan[1], K.Govardhan[2]
[1]VIT University, Sensor System Technology, School of Electronics Engineering, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India
[2]VIT University, MEMS & Sensor Division, School of Electronics Engineering, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India

The microscopic size of MEMS devices accounts for strong coupling effects which arise between the different physical fields and forces. Micromirrors are essential parts of microswitches in fiber optic network telecommunication. They are usually 1 to 3 mm in size, fabricated from single ... Read More

MEMS based Gecko Foot for Micro Robotics

A. Pasumarthy [1], H. Sinha [1], A. Islam [1],
[1] Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India

Gecko foots have inspired researchers to develop designs that can help robots to tread vertically oriented surface. These nanobots find many applications as they can perform a lot of operations more efficiently and also lower the cost of such operations. These can be employed in various ... Read More

Surface Charge Modulated Ionic Conductance of Closed Solid State Nanopore Biosensors

H. Ghosh [1], C. Roychaudhuri [1],
[1] Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST), Shibpur, Howrah, West Bengal, India

This paper explores surface charge modulated ionic conductance of closed solid-state nanopores for explaining significant nonlinear length dependent variation in ionic current in such nanopore biosensors with a view to design improved sensors without increasing fabrication cost for ... Read More

Theoretical Study Of Porous Silicon Waveguides And Their Applicability For Vapour Sensing

T. Hutter[1], N. Bamiedakis[2], and S. Elliott[1]
[1]Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge, UK
[2]Centre for Advanced Photonics and Electronics, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, UK

The finite-element method (FEM) (COMSOL RF Module) has been employed for modal analyses of porous silicon (PSi) waveguides composed of a guiding layer of low porosity (high refractive index) on a cladding layer with higher porosity (lower refractive index). These can be made by switching ... Read More

Modeling and Simulation of Mechanically Coupled MEMS Resonators Using COMSOL Multiphysics®

J. Wiswell [1], M. Guvench [1],
[1] University of Southern Maine, Gorham, ME, USA

Introduction: In this project, COMSOL Multiphysics® and SolidWorks® are employed to model and simulate a mechanically coupled MEMS resonator with varying masses. These resonators consist of three main components: springs on each end to allow the structure to move, a shuttle mass for ... Read More

Chaotic Behavior of the Airflow in a Ventilated Room

A.W.M. van Schijndel[1]
[1]Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, The Netherlands

Chaotic systems may lead to instability, extreme sensitivity and performance reduction. Therefore it is unwanted in many cases. Due to these undesirable characteristics of chaos in practical systems, it is important to recognize such a chaotic behavior. The existence of chaos has been ... Read More

Assessment of Spatial Variably Saturated Flow by Irrigation Moisture Sensors in 2-Dimensions using the COMSOL Multiphysics 4.1

A. Boluwade, and C. A. Madramootoo
Bioresources Engineering, McGill University
Ste. Anne De Bellevue, QC
Canada

This paper reports on the application of COMSOL Multiphysics’ Richard\'s Equation Interface in the assessment of irrigation moisture sensors for detecting the level of water saturation in a spatial variably saturated soil. The Richard\'s Equation (in COMSOL) provides the interface which ... Read More
