In this paper, the nonlinear squeeze-film damping (SFD) involving rarefied gas effect in the
micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) is investigated. Considering the motion of …

Most previous studies on gas transport in nano-scale confinements assume dynamic
similarity with rarefied gas flows, and employ kinetic theory based models. This approach is …

Double-sided electromechanical nano-bridges can potentially be used as angular speed
sensors and accelerometers in rotary systems such as turbine blades and vacuum pumps. In …

In this paper, we develop a physics-based theoretical modeling framework to predict the
device lifetime defined by the dominant degradation mechanisms of RF …

During the few decades, computational techniques for simulating heat transfer in complex
industrial systems have reached maturity. Combined with increasingly sophisticated …

We propose a simplified, fast, and operative simulation tool for the prediction of gas damping
occurring in the microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) of arbitrarily complex geometry …

This paper investigates the voltage–amplitude response of superharmonic resonance of
second order (order two) of alternating current (AC) electrostatically actuated …

The pulsatile pressure driven fully developed flow of a rarefied gas through an orthogonal
duct is investigated, based on the time-dependent linear Bhatnagar, Gross, and Krook …

Molecular dynamics (MD) method is used to simulate shear driven argon gas flows in the
early transition and free molecular flow regimes to investigate surface effects as a function of …

The linear oscillatory two-dimensional rarefied gas flow in the zig-zag channel between the
shuttle and stator fingers of typical comb elements, due to the harmonic motion of the shuttle …
