Sponsored by the US National Science Foundation, a workshop on the boundary element
method (BEM) was held on the campus of the University of Akron during September 1–3 …

This paper is devoted to a detailed analysis of the appearance of frequency combs in the
dynamics of a micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) resonator featuring 1: 2 internal …

In this paper, we analyze possible sources of dissipation in aluminium nitride (AlN) contour
mode resonators for three different resonance frequency devices (fr)(220 MHz, 370 MHz …

This paper presents a numerical study on anchor and interfacial dissipation in piezoelectric
MEMS resonators with in-plane longitudinal-mode vibrations. According to recent proposals …

The combination of multiaxis and multiparameter microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)
in the same technology would result in very cheap and smart inertial measurement units …

Several barriers exist to the development and optimization of high frequency Micro-Electro-
Mechanical (MEMS) resonators, primarily adequate control and understanding of dissipation …

The dynamic performance of a micro-resonator depends on its energy loss mechanism
which is quantified by Q-factor (Quality factor). This paper presents numerical and analytical …

The exact solution of the unsteady Rayleigh flow problem of a rarefied charged gas
bounded by an oscillating plate has been made. For this purpose, we use the traveling wave …

The extension of the previous paper (Abdel Wahid and Elagan, 2012) has been made for a
nonhomogeneous charged rarefied gas mixture (two‐component plasma) instead of a …

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 …
