Levitation Micro-Systems

This book presents inductive and hybrid levitation micro-systems and their applications in micro-sensors and –actuators. It proposes and discusses analytical and quasi-finite element techniques for modeling levitation micro-systems based on the Lagrangian formalism. In particular, micro-bearings, -actuators, -accelerators and –accelerometers based on inductive levitation are comprehensively described with accompanying experimental measurements.
Introduction to Microsystem Design

This book systematically describes the design options for micro systems as well as the equations needed for calculating the behavior of their basic elements. The fundamental equations needed to calculate the effects and forces that are important in micro systems are also provided. Readers do not require previous knowledge of fabrication processes. This second edition of the volume is a thoroughly revised and extended update. The target audience primarily comprises experts in the field of micro systems and the book is also suitable for graduate engineering students. For quick reference, equations are presented in tables that can be found in an index at the end of the book.

Nowadays, micromechanics (i.e., mechanics of microsystems) is probably one of the most promising and rapidly growing fields among new emerging technologies. In fact, the possibility of reducing the size of mechanical structures to the micro-domain opens a wide variety of possible applications in the biomedical, aeronautical, and automotive fields, in robotics, in molecular engineering, in fiber optics, and infiuidics technology. One of the main aspects that slows down the development of innovative industrial products based on microsystem technology is the existing lack of engineering tools to allow a reliable design of microsystems . The aim of this book is that of collecting the texts o the lectures given at the CISM course on: Microsystems Mechanical Design, hold in July 2004. The purpose of this course was to introduce the basic tools used in the mechanical design of microsystems, the fabrication methods for these systems, and several applications of this technology. The links between micro- and nanotechnologies were also discussed and light was shed on the potential applications of microsystems to nano-scale manipulation of matter, thus introducing the topic of nano-scale engineering mechanics, which will be fully explored in a future course. This book is arranged in 8 sections. In the first section an introduction on microsystems and the techniques for their fabrication will be presented, with a thoroughly description of surface and bulk micromachining techniques and of other microfabrication processes as LIGA and anoding bonding.
