In this paper, the bi-stability of a buckled multi-layered micro-bridge with elastically
constrained boundary conditions is studied theoretically and experimentally. The residual …

This paper investigates the size-dependent static behavior of micro scale thermal actuators.
The actuator is considered as a bilayer microcantilever and the modified couple stress …

In this paper, the thermo-mechanical behavior of buckled multi-layered micro-bridge is
theoretically analyzed, simulated using ANSYS and experimentally confirmed on a …

A novel controller and its experimental implication for fast auto-focusing capability of a piezo-
electrically driven micro-lens actuator is presented in this paper. Negative imaginary (NI) …

In this paper, an analytical model that characterizes the buckling shape of a multi-layered
