We present a new electrostatic repulsive-force microactuator using a lateral repulsive force induced by an asymmetric distribution of electrostatic field. The lateral repulsive force has been characterized by a simple analytical equation, derived from a finite element simulation. A set of repulsive force polysilicon microactuators has been designed and fabricated by a 4-mask surface-micromachining process. Static and dynamic micromechanical behavior of the fabricated microactuators has been measured at the atmospheric pressure for a varying bias voltage. The static displacement of the fabricated microactuator, proportional to the square of the DC bias voltage, is obtained as 1.27 $\mu\textrm{m}$ for the DC bias voltage of 140V. The resonant frequency of the repulsive-force microactuator increases from 11.7 kHz to 12.7 kHz when the DC bias voltage increases from 60V to 140V. The measured quality-factor varies from 12 to 13 for the bias volatge range of 60V∼140V. The characteristics of the electrostatic repulsive-force have been discussed and compared and compared with those of the conventional electrostatic attractive-force.

An electrostatic ink jet head can be used for manufacturing processes of large display systems and printed circuit boards (PCB) as well as inkjet printers because an electrostatic field provides an external force which can be manipulated to control sizes of droplets. The existing printing methods such as thermal bubble and piezo inkjet heads have shown difficulties to control the ejection of the droplets for printing applications. Thus, the new inkjet head using the electrostatic force has been proposed in this study. In order to prove the theory of the developed electrostatic ink jet head, the applicable and basic theory has been studied using distilled water and water with sodium dodecyl surfate (SDS). Also, a numerical analysis has been performed to calculate the intensity of the electrostatic field using the Maxwell's equation. Furthermore, experiments have been carried out using a downward glass capillary with outside diameter of $500{\mu}m$. The gravity, surface tension, and electrostatic force have been analyzed with high voltages of 0 to 5kV. It has been observed that the droplet size decreases and the frequency of the droplet formation and the velocity of the droplet ejection increase with increasing the intensity of the electrostatic field. The results of the experiments have shown good agreement with those of numerical analysis.

The admittance of one-port electrostatic actuator are modeled using the steady-state sinusoidal response. Also the admittance of the differential type actuator is derived taking the practical conditions into consideration, although it has no admittance in ideal case. It is a function of biasing error, driving error, and capacitive mismatch including parasitic capacitors. The validity of the admittance model is proved by comparing between the modeled and measured admittances. The distortion in the frequency response curve measured by a capacitive sensor is analyzed and it is concluded that the admittance is the main cause of this distortion.

In this study, new type of induction charging system for electrostatic spraying was manufactured and proposed to improve the electrical safety and charging efficiency. And parameters of proposed system to generate the maximum deposition current with electrical safety were selected and investigated. The selected parameters were frequency of square pulse and thickness of insulation material, outer diameter of device and thickness and positions of electrode. Charging quantity of water drop was measured by deposition current detected from sensing plate indirectly. The maximum deposition current for each parameter were 3.5[uA] at the frequency of 15[kHz] and thickness of 0.25[mm] insulating layer. And maximum deposition currents were 2.8[uA] and 3.0[uA] at 25[mm] outer diameter of charging device and 0.25[mm] thickness of electrode each. Effects of electrode position from spraying nozzle on deposition current was a little.

In an electro statically actuated nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS) resonator, it is shown that both the resonance frequency and the resonance quality (Q) factor can be manipulated. How much the frequency and quality factor can be tuned by excitation voltage and resistance on a doubly-clamped beam resonator is addressed. A mathematical model for investigating the tuning effects is presented. All results are shown based on the feasible dimension of the nanoresonator and appropriate external driving voltage, yielding up to 20 MHz resonance frequency. Such parameter tuning could prove to be a very convenient scheme to actively control the response of NEMS for a variety of applications.

Equivalent volume estimation of the coupler and two coupled microphones has a key role in standard microphone pressure calibration. The equivalent volume of the microphone is determined by the dynamic characteristics of the diaphragm system and front cavity. Therefore the modal parameters of diaphragm system - natural frequency and damping fatter - should be measured explicitly for the estimation of the equivalent volume. The diaphragm system is composed of the vibrating diaphragm, back slit behind diaphragm, pressure equalization vent, and front cavity which are acoustically coupled. In the measurement, the electrostatic actuator was used to excite the system with the swept sine, and the frequency response was obtained. The close actuator in front of the diaphragm must influence the radiation impedance of the system, and then the modal parameters. From the measured frequency response, the natural frequency and the damping factor could be estimated with the Complex exponential method based on the Prony model and the zero crossing real and imaginary plot.

This paper predicted nonlinear dynamic responses of a cantilevered carbon nanotube(CNT) resonator incorporating the electrostatic forces and van der Waals interactions between the CNT cantilever and ground plane. The structural model of CNT includes geometric and inertial nonlinearities to investigate various phenomena of nonlinear responses of the CNT due to the electrostatic excitation. In order to solve this problem, we used Galerkin's approximation and the numerical integration techniques. As a result, the CNT nano-resonator shows the softening effect through saddle-node bifurcation near primary resonance frequency with increasing the applied AC and DC voltages. Also we can predict nonlinear secondary resonances such as superharmonic and subharmonic resonances. The superharmonic resonance of the nano-resonator is influenced by applied AC voltage. The period-doubling bifurcation leads to the subharmonic resonance which occurs when the nano-resonator is actuated by electrostatic forces as parametric excitation.

전자기 진동 가진기를 적용한 전기 집진기의 효과적인 탈진 여부를 판단할 수 있는 기준은 집진기내 집진판들의 진동 가속도이다. 이러한 진동 가속도는 외부로부터의 가진 주파수와 시스템의 고유주파수의 일치로 인하여 공진이 일어날 때 간헐적으로 최대치를 보이며 효율적인 탈진성능을 기대할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 한대의 전자기 진동 가진기를 이용하는 단일 객체를 대상으로 한 관점에서 더 나아가, 실제 현장에서 복수의 전기집진탈진기가 설치됨을 고려하여 진동 탈진기의 설치방식에 따라 시스템을 모델링 하였다. 이러한 직렬 및 병렬회로로 연결된 가진기를 적용한 시스템을 대상으로 진동 가속도 계측 실험을 수행하여 직렬 및 병렬식 연결에 따른 진동 가속도의 차이를 비교함으로써 가진기의 배열 방식과 그에 따른 기대 탈진 성능 및 소비전력의 유효성을 검증하였다. 최종적으로 직렬 배열형 모듈이 증가할수록 선형적으로 필요전류량이 증가할 것으로 예상하였으나 급격한 감소나 (6.9% ~ 37.6%) 증가를 (5% ~ 45%) 보여주었다. 단독의 가진기가 사용된 병렬 배열보다, 2대의 가진기가 사용되고 그 전기회로의 연결이 병렬일 때 동일한 전류가 인가되었음에도 약 11.64% 의 가속도 감소 현상을 보였다. 2대의 가진기를 사용하고 입력전류의 값을 소비 전력의 관점에서 동일하게 보정하였을 경우 약 16.80 % 의 가속도 증가 현상을 확인하였다.
