Combined Electrostatic/Electromagnetic MEMS Actuators
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-10)In this work, one and two degrees of freedom (DOF) lumped mass models of Micro- Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) actuators are introduced, investigated, and compared to experimental results. A one degree of freedom system ... -
Electrostatic Micro-Tweezers
(University of Waterloo, 2020-06-25)This dissertation presents a novel electrostatic micro-tweezers designed to manipulate particles with diameters in the range of 5-14 μm. The tweezers consist of two grip-arms mounted to an electrostatically actuated initially ... -
Interaction Forces in Coupled Magnetic Pendulums
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-22)In this research, we investigated the non-linear motion and magnetic forces in a chain of magnetic pendulums with cylindrical magnets to eventually better understand the be- haviour of Josephson junction-effect devices. ... -
Interactions of Magnetic Pendulums
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-03)In recent years, coupled magnetic oscillators have received remarkable attention due to their application in vibration energy harvesting techniques and also its promising ability to help researchers to have a better ...
