This work presents an analytical model to predict the natural frequency of electrostatically actuated micromachined cantilever beam under the application of DC voltage. The analytical modelling uses an energy based method ...

The atomic force microscope (AFM) has been used in cell biology for a decade. AFM is a unique tool for investigating the viscoelastic characteristics of live cells in culture and mapping the spatial distribution of mechanical ...

Viscosity is an essential parameter that regulates bio-molecular reaction rates of diffusion-driven cellular processes. Hence, abnormal viscosity levels are often associated with various diseases and malfunctions like ...

In this study, we will create a grid of micro electro-mechanical (MEMS) sensors, which will measure the contents of soil, especially urea. This will inform the farmers about the condition of soil in real time, and thus ...

This work deal with the biomechanical analysis of the Captum Collum Diaphysis (CCD) femur bone. The femur is the largest bone in the upper leg. The angle between femur neck and femur shaft of the femora is a parameter in ...

Residual stress analysis plays a very important role in the structural safety and stability of the component. Residual stress has a great influence on the fatigue life of the structures. Residual stress reduces the load ...

MEMS resonators have potential application in the area of frequency selective devices (e.g., gyroscopes, mass sensors, etc.). In this paper, design of electro thermally tunable resonators is presented. SOIMUMPs process is ...

This article describes the enhanced sensitivity to a viscous medium by a molecular rotor based fluorophore (RBF), TPSI I. The TPSI I molecule is designed in such a way that it consists of a rotor and a fluorophore with a ...

A comprehensive design flow is proposed for the design of Micro Electro Mechanical Systems that are fabricated using SO Mumps process. Many of the designers typically do not model the temperature dependency of electrical ...

MEMS resonators have potential applications in the areas of RF-MEMS, clock oscillators, ultrasound transducers, etc. The important characteristics of a resonator are its resonant frequency and Q-factor (a measure of damping). ...
