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.

  1. http://www.memsuniverse.com/

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

Focused Engineering Solutions by AEG

By
Focused Engineering Solutions for the Manufacturing Supply Chain by American Engineering Group Computer-Aided Design, Engineering and Manufacturing (CAD/CAE/CAM) are tools that help reduce costs and shorten the design, prototype and production cycle. These computer-aided tools can also help to incorporate Six Sigma, Lean manufacturing and Just-In-Time (JIT) in the supplier processes bringing credibility to new design concepts. American Engineering Group (AEG) is utilizing these tools to provide a Multisourcing Manufacturing Solution (MMS) by bringing new automotive components to the marketplace in the shortest possible time, with the lowest cost, and highest quality. CAD/CAE/CAM are becoming more popular as a standard analysis tools in the automotive industry for design, failure and manufacturing process analyses. Another notable reason for this popularity is the recent changes in automotive specification requirement for parts comprised of new materials or designs. The automotive ind

Self-contact in rubber/foam components: jounce bumper

By
Components that deform and change their shape substantially can fold and have different parts of the surface come into contact with each other. In such cases it can be difficult to predict at the outset of the analysis where such contact may occur and, therefore, it can be difficult to define two independent surfaces to make up a contact pair. A jounce bumper, sometimes referred to as a “helper spring,” is a highly compressible component that is used as part of the shock isolation system in a vehicle. It is typically located above the coil spring that connects the wheels to the frame. Microcellular material is used because of its high compressibility and low Poisson's ratio value at all but fully compressed configurations. The bumper initially sits against a fixed flat rigid surface on one end; on the other end, another flat rigid surface is used to model the compression of the bumper. The geometry of the bumper is such that it folds in three different locations. Separate surfaces
