Thomas B. Jones, Nenad G. NenadicCambridge University Press, 5/2/2013EAN 9780521764834, ISBN10: 0521764831Hardcover, 577 pages, 24.7 x 17.4 x 3 cmLanguage: EnglishOffering a consis tent, systematic approach to capacitive, piezoelectric and magnetic MEMS, from basic electromechanical transducers to high-level models for sensors and actuators, this comprehensive textbook equips graduate and senior-level undergraduate students with all the resources necessary to design and develop practical, system-level MEMS models. The concise yet thorough treatment of the underlying principles of electromechanical transduction provides a solid theoretical framework for this development, with each new topic related back to the core concepts. Repeated references to the shared commonalities of all MEMS encourage students to develop a systems-based design perspective. Extensive use is made of easy-to-interpret electrical and mechanical analogs, such as electrical circuits, electromechanical two-port models and the cascade paradigm. Each chapter features worked examples and numerous problems, all designed to test and extend students' understanding of the key principles.1. Introduction2. Circuit-based modeling3.

The authors treat the arduous concepts of coupled electrical and mechanical systems simultaneously with lucidity and a thorough pedagogical rigor that comes from deep appreciation of the field and the love to impart that knowledge as a teacher. The book elucidates the concepts with very topical examples of microelectromechanical systems such as MEMS microphones, comb drive actuators, gyroscopes, energy harvesters, and piezoelectric and magnetic devices including Matlab® models and [a] comprehensive set of problems at the end of each chapter.'
