Recovering of the Membrane Profile of an Electrostatic Circular MEMS by a Three-Stage Lobatto Procedure: A Convergence Analysis in the Absence of Ghost Solutions

“…in (6) represents the parameter that takes into account the electro-mechanical properties of the material constituting the membrane. In (5), the quantity λ 2…”

“…In particular, micro-transducers' and micro-actuators' results are of paramount importance due to their role of micro-devices' interfaces [1,2]. In recent years, circular membrane MEMS technology has been exploited to this aim in a wide variety of technological fields such as thermo-elasticity [2][3][4], microfluidics [2,[5][6][7], electroelasticity [8][9][10][11][12], and biomedical engineering [13][14][15]. The focus on this geometry can mainly be attributed to the availability of theoretical models in both steady-state and dynamical conditions (see [16][17][18] and references within).…”

Characterization of bitumen and a novel multiple synergistic method for reducing bitumen viscosity with nanoparticles and surfactants

“…Recently, nanoparticles have been widely used in the petroleum industry for applications such as enhanced oil recovery (EOR), [26][27][28] emulsion stability and demulsication, 29 and heat conducting processes. 30,31 The viscosity of bitumen is mainly associated with the formation of a viscoelastic network between asphaltene nanoaggregates or asphaltene and other bitumen subfractions. Nanoparticles have a strong adsorption affinity with asphaltenes and are expected to help decrease bitumen viscosity owing to their small size, high surface area-to-volume ratio, dispersibility, and high adsorption affinity.…”
