Electrostatic MEMS Bifurcation Sensors
ALGHAMDI, MAJED (University of Waterloo, 2018-08-24)We report experimental evidence of a new instability in electrostatic sensors, dubbed quasi-static pull-in, in two types of micro-sensors operating in ambient air. We find that the underlying mechanism and features of this ... -
Inertial MEMS Sensors
Alghamdi, Majed (University of Waterloo, 2015-01-07)In this work, novel electrostatic micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) sensor and sensors are introduced and demonstrated. First, a novel bifurcation-based MEMS ethanol vapor sensor is demonstrated. In contrast to ...
