Announcement and Call for Papers
A Special Session on
The Mechanical Design Issues in MEMS
Much of the research on Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) in the
last few years was focused on inventing new micromachining processes,
new ways to utilize them in developing new products, and this has led to
a swift growth in many directions including a wide variety of
microsensors, microactuators, micro-fluidics, micro chemical and
bio-chemical analytical devices, micro opto-mechanical devices and more.
Consequently, MEMS devices have already become quite complex. To reduce
the time and cost involved in new product development and prototyping,
MEMS researchers and practitioners have begun to focus on design and
simulation of mechanical components and systems that are an integral
part of MEMS. The session on “The Mechanical Design Issues in MEMS”
focuses on this critical, rapidly growing research direction in MEMS.
The papers are invited in the area of MEMS that emphasize the mechanical
design aspects.
