Dynamics of Microelectromechanical Systems

Dynamics of Microelectromechanical Systems is a systematic overview of the dynamics of MEMS (microelectromechanical systems), microstructures, and their responses. The focus is on the mecahnical/structural micro domain and the compliant nature of mechanical transmission.

Features of this work include:

• An in-depth treatment of problems that involve reliable modeling, analysis and design,
• Analytical models with correct dependences on service dimensions,
• Cantilever based systems for nanofabrication researchers and designers, and
• Dynamics of complex spring and beam microsystems.

This material contains numerous fully-solved examples as well as many end-of-the-chapter problems. This is a follow up to the book, Mechanics of Microelectromechanical Systems, by Lobontiu and Garcia (Springer 2004), but the material in this new book is self-contained.  An instructor''s solution manual is available on the book''s webpage at springer.com.

Dynamics of Microelectromechanical Systems is a timely text and reference for microstructural engineers, microengineers, and MEMS specialists.
