Abstract:This study presents the behavior of a micro cantilever beam accelerometer under electrostatic actuation by using the analytical and numerical method. The objective of this study is to determine optimal design of capacitive micro cantilever beam accelerometer in term of reducing the beam deflection with respect to applied acceleration but keeping the distance between electrodes. The structure contains proof mass which is suspended between fixed rigid electrodes to provide differential capacitance measurements. … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
