A MEMS based Knudsen’s pressure gauge working in the range of 1e-5 mbar to 10 mbar is designed and simulated in COMSOL. The working principle is based on Knudsen’s forces that arise when two plates are held at different temperatures and their separation is comparable to the mean free ... En savoir plus
During last twenty years capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUT) have been developed extremely fast [1-2]. CMUT is an attractive alternative to traditional piezoelectric transducer, which converts electrical signal to mechanical vibration and vice versa. The main ... En savoir plus
The conversion of mechanical energy from environmental vibrations into electrical energy is a key point for powering sensor nodes toward the development of autonomous sensor systems.
