Abstract:The present investigation focuses on the design and mathematical modeling of a microelectromechanical (MEMS) mode-localized based sensor/actuator system. This device incorporates a sensitive clamped–clamped shallow arch microbeam with an initial curvature shaped to resemble one of the first two symmetric and asymmetric modes of free oscillations of a clamped–clamped beam. The analysis reveals that with a suitable arrangement of the initial shape of the device flexible electrode and a proper tuning of the maxim… Show more
