The mechanical properties of polycrystalline thin-films, critical for Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) components, are known to have the size effect and the scatter in the length scale of microns by the numbers of intensive investigation by experiments and simulations. So, the consideration of the microstructure is essential to cover these length scale effects. The lattice based stochastic model for the microstructure evolution is used to simulate the actual microstructure, and the fast and reliable algorithm is described in this paper. The kinetics parameters, which are the key parameters for the microstructure evolution based on the nucleation and growth mechanism, are extracted from the given micrograph of a polycrystalline material by an inverse method. And the method is verified by the comparison of the quantitative measures, the number of grains and the grain size distribution, for the actual and simulated microstructures. Finite element mesh is then generated on this lattice based microstructure by the developed code. And the statistical finite element analysis is accomplished for selected microstructure.

LED arrays with pixel numbers of $3{\times}3$, $4{\times}4$, and $5{\times}5$ have been studied in this paper in order to enhance the optical output power and decrease heat dissipation of an AlGaInP-based light emitting diode display device (pixel size of $280{\times}280{\mu}m$) fabricated by micro-opto-electro-mechanical systems. Simulation results showed that the thermal resistances of the $3{\times}3$, $4{\times}4$, $5{\times}5$ arrays were $52^{\circ}C/W$, $69.7^{\circ}C/W$, and $84.3^{\circ}C/W$. The junction temperature was calculated by the peak wavelength shift method, which showed that the maximum value appears at the center pixel due to thermal crosstalk from neighboring pixels. The central temperature would be minimized with $40{\mu}m$ pixel pitch and $150{\mu}m$ substrate thickness as calculated by thermal modeling using finite element analysis. The modeling can be used to optimize parameters of highly integrated AlGaInP-based LED arrays fabricated by micro-opto-electro-mechanical systems technology.

본 연구의 목적은 SEA모델링 기법을 이용하여 시스템 응답 특성을 예측 하는데 있어서 연견 손실 계수(coupling loss factor). 내부 손실 계수(internal loss factor)와 같은 주요 변수의 값을 압전 지능 구조물을 이용하여 도출 하는 .것이다. 관심 주파수 대역에서 임피던스(impedance) 해석기를 이용해 압전 지능 구조물의 임피던스를 측정하고 랜덤 가진 시 압전 지능 구조물의 부하전압을 측정, 시스템에 가해지는 전기적 파워를 구하였다. 이 값을 전기-기계적 연결 계수(electro-mechanical coupling coefficient)를 이용 기계적 파워로 상사 시키고 이때 시스템에 저장되는 에너지를 가속도계를 이용해 측정 하였다. 이 결과 값을 이용하여 연결 손실 계수와 내부 손실 계수를 구하여 보았다. 또한 이론식을 이용하여 얻은 이론 값과 기존의 가진기(shaker)를 이용하여 얻은 실험 값과 비교 분석 하였다.

The performance of micro-actuators utilizing radiometric forces are studied numerically. The Knudsen number based on gas density and characteristic dimension is varied from near-continuum to highly rarefied conditions. Direct simulation Monte Carlo(DSMC) calculations have been performed to estimate the performance of the micro-actuators. In the present DSMC method, the variable hard sphere molecular model and no time counter technique are used to simulate the molecular collision kinetics. For simulation of diatomic gas flows, the Borgnakke-Larsen phenomenological model is adopted to redistribute the translational and internal energies.

In this study, residual stress distribution in multi-stacked film by MEMS (Micro-Electro Mechanical System) process is predicted using Finite Element method (FEM). We evelop a finite element program for residual stress analysis (RESA) in multi-stacked film. The RESA predicts the distribution of residual stress field in multi-stacked film. Curvatures of multi­stacked film and single layers which consist of the multi-stacked film are used as the input to the RESA. To measure those curvatures is easier than to measure a distribution of residual stress. To verify the RESA, mean stresses and stress gradients of single and multi layers are measured. The mean stresses are calculated from curvatures of deposited wafer by using Stoney's equation. The stress gradients are calculated from the vertical deflection at the end of cantilever beam. To measure the mean stress of each layer in multi-stacked film, we measure the curvature of wafer with the left film after etching layer by layer in multi-stacked film.

The problem was derived from a simple process in solar water heating system. In a new designed electro less separated system we involved a kind of bubble pump. Beside experiment analysis, numerical simulation of the core of bubble pump is also very important. In this paper we investigated the motion of bubbles in vertical tube in two dimensions. The heat and mass transfer was simulated. The result of numerical simulation give a significant help of optimize design of bubble pump.

This paper presents an analytical model-based approach to detect and isolate faults in a voltage-source inverter. These faults do not affect the existing system protections. A diagnosis system which uses only the input variables of the drive is presented. It is based on the analysis of the current-vector trajectory in faulty mode. The proposed method has been verified in simulation results.

This paper presents an approach based on knowledge models to detect and isolate faults in a voltage source inverter. These faults do not affect the existing system protections. A diagnosis system which uses only the input variables of the drive is presented. It is based on the analysis of the current-vector trajectory and of the instantaneous frequency in faulty mode. These two methods have been verified in simulation results.

This paper is concerned with the dynamic modeling of a rectangular plate with piezoelectric actuators and sensors. The experimental frequency response plots can be used to verify the theoretical modeling. The active vibration control was achived by using positive position feedback controller. Theoretical analysis will follow.
