NEMS 5810-0

Brief

The main goal of this course is to introduce engineering students to some basic understanding of the characterization and control of micro-sized actuators or actuators working at the micro-scale made of smart materials. Various knowledge and emerging techniques of actuators will be conveyed in this course, such as actuators’ properties, manufacturing and the theory behind them. Topics will include commonly used smart materials for fabricating microactuators or the actuators working in micro-scale. The smart materials cover piezoelectric material, shape memory alloy, dielectric elastomer and ionic polymer, magnetorehological fluid, magnetorheological elastomer. Moreover, concept of modeling and modeling techniques of microactuators will be discussed. Both physical and chemical characterizations of the smart material fabricated devices will be described in details with regard to actuating aspect.
