On the preparation and characterization of thin NiTi shape memory alloy wires for MEMS

Riccardo Casati, Maurizio Vedani, Syed A. M. Tofail, Calum Dikinson, Ausonio Tuissi

Shape memory alloy (SMA) wires are employed as actuators in small devices for consumer electronics, valves and automotive applications. Because of the continued miniaturization of all the industrial products, nowadays the tendency is to…

A numerical study of squeeze-film damping in MEMS-based structures including rarefaction effects

Maria F. Pantano, Leonardo Pagnotta, Salvatore Nigro

In a variety of MEMS applications, the thin film of fluid responsible of squeeze-film damping results to be rarefied and, thus, not suitable to be modeled though the classical Navier-Stokes equation. The simplest way to consider fluid…
