Structural Layout Optimization for MEMS Sensors and Actuators via Coupled PDEs
Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
In this project, we pursued the following steps to satisfy several particular necessities for efficient MEMS design using the structural layout optimization method. 1. A practical layout optimization model is established, which includes suitable expressions of objective function and equality constraints. 2. Using the implicit surface method, structural layout optimization which includes topology, shape and size optimization is seamlessly integrated. 3. Based on the Platform Comsol script, a fully coupled FEM model and corresponding discretization procedure for layout optimization of multiphysics optimization is proposed. 4. Using the developed optimization algorithm, a novel micro stress sensor, and a compliant actuator, are fabricated. 5. The method is also applied to the design of magnetic resonance coils. Following the fabrication of a prototype stress sensor, we are re-designing stress sensor by using the multiple doping ratios on the silicon wafer. In this part, we are collaborating with the Laboratory for Materials, IMTEK, University of Freiburg. We are further exploring the application of the methodology to the design of magnetic resonance microsystems.
