MEMS Resources on WEB

Compiled by AEG

Here is a comprehensive list of MEMS resources that proves to be helpful time to time.

A number of portals specializes in MEMS ,some of them a listed below

  1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MEMS

Any exploration in the internet starts from the wikipedia. The description of MEMS here is not very thorough but it serves the purpose. The links associated to these documents are useful.

  1. http://www.memsnet.org/mems/

This portal is entirely dedicated to the MEMS community. It gives a basic overview about MEMS and Nanotechnology and provides a comprehensive idea about the micro fabrication processes. This site provides a link to the founder company https://www.mems-exchange.org/ , which is a contract foundry service. The job board and the discussion groups is the main attraction of this site whereas the news and event sections are regularly update which makes this site very attractive. While browsing this site, don’t overlook a menu on the right side, as it contains important information. The material database is particularly very useful to researchers.For more information their very rich link section is highly recommended.

http://www.memsnet.org/links/

  1. http://www.allaboutmems.com

This is a community oriented website with full range of information available on MEMS. MEMSCAP, Inc. a foundry service initiated this site, the content of this site is non-commercial, but apparently the sections are full of old links and the site is not maintained regularly.

  1. http://www.memsindustrygroup.org

This site is an excellent place to take a peek at the MEMS industry. The news and events section very informative. The site is well maintained on a daily basis and the member section looks very appealing. Unfortunately the membership is not for single users but only for companies.

  1. http://www.memsinvestorjournal.com/

This is a free weekly newsletter which publishes stories , inventions and interviews for the MEMS community. The stories by the categories helps in tracking the advances in each field of the MEMS technology.

  1. http://memscyclopedia.org/

This site intends to give an introduction to MEMS (not so short introduction). The best thing about this site is a free book with 5 chapters on the MEMS technology). The book is download able.

  1. http://www.trimmer.net/

This site is hosted by Dr. Willium Trimmer, Founding Editor of the Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems. It contains a lot of links, but unfortunately it seems the site is not updated regularly. The list of MEMS companies was found to be very helpful.

This is a blog which records the latest inventions in MEMS technology

AEG Torsional Damper - brief description

By
American Engineering Group (AEG) has developed a new “Dual Torsional Damper System”. This new AEG system design will allow varying static properties and provide dynamic shock and vibration mitigation over a wide load range for automotive and industrial applications. This dual structure system provides both axial and radial damping. The torsional damper system will have two elastomer elements with top element functions as a vibration damping element and the bottom spherical elastomer element as a noise & harness damping element. AEG dual mode damper system includes a spherical soft viscous bushing hub designed for being rigidly connected to a drive shaft, and an inertia ring, connected to the hub by means of a thin Polyurethane material layer. This dual-layer elastomer damper system is designed for torsional vibration reduction of the crankshaft system on multi-cylinder engine for vehicles. AEG polyurethane torsional dampers are designed to provide significant reduction of sou

Pressure penetration analysis of an air duct kiss seal

By
Seals are common structural components that often require design analyses. In this example, a nonlinear finite element analysis of seals is performed. Pressure penetration effects between the seal and the contacting surfaces are to be considered in these analyses, to make routine analyses of seals more realistic and accurate. Analyses of clutch seals, threaded connectors, car door seals and air duct kiss seals are some applications where pressure penetration effects are important. The surface-based pressure penetration capability is used to simulate pressure penetration between contacting surfaces.

Challenges in the Finite Element Analysis of Tire Design using ABAQUS

By
Finite Element Analysis of Vehicle and Tire has become a very important aspect of a tire design and failure analysis to most Tire companies. Tire modeling with ABAQUS is a very complicated process involving complex materials like hyperelastic rubber and textile reinforcements, large model size, prolonged simulation time and various convergence issues. This white paper intends to help in understanding the challenges in tire analysis and several tips and tricks that makes a difference in the quality of the results and processing time. AEG hopes that this article will be useful to ABAQUS users working in the field of tire design and analysis. A general tire has the following major tire components Tread Belt Region Inner Liner Sidewall Region Inner Carcass Region Bead Filler Region Apex/Chafer Region Beads Reinforcements Nylon Cap Ply Steel Belts Carcass Ply Constructing the structure of the tire and modeling of each component is the first step into the analysis.
