MEMS and mechanics

• Devices: accelerometers, gyroscopes, pressure sensors, Lorentz-force magnetometers, micro-energy harvesters, …

• Multi-physics coupling: chemo- electro- thermo- magneto-…mechanical,

• Fabrication processes: CTE mismatch, thermo-mechanicalstresses, anisotropy, heterogeneity, …

• Reliability: fracture, fatigue, stiction, moisture absorption, accidental drop, eigen-stresses,…

Mechanics is the branch of science concerned withthe behavior of physical bodies when subjectedto forces or displacements, and the subsequent effectsof the bodies on their environment. (from Wikipedia)
