Mathematical
Modeling in Industry-A Workshop for Graduate Students
Design
of a Microactuator
Tutor:
David Ross, Eastman Kodak
With
advances in microelectronic device fabrication technology, it
has become possible to make small mechanical devices on computer
chips. Our problem will be to devise a model of such a device--a
simple microactuator--and analyze it to optimize performance.
