Mechanical model of the actuator was established, and the static characteristic was analyzed.Comparing the theoretical analysis with experimental data, it is found that the thermodynamic character of material in micro actuator has a different variable regularity contrasted to that used in macro scale machines. It is the micro scale effect that results in the deviation between the simulating result and experimental results. The thermodynamic expression of polysilicon, which was fitted by means of the experimental data concerned, was used to modify the mechanical model. The modified model, in which the micro scale thermodynamic characteristic was considered, was more reasonable and could make the optimal design and control strategies analyzing the straight-line micro actuator more feasible.展开更多

The anodic constant potential method is employed to deposit manganese oxide as electroactive substances on the micro-electrode surface. Cyclic voltammetry and constant current charge-discharge method are both used to prepare electrode electrochemical performance testing, with a two-dimensional electrode without structure for comparison. Experimental results show that three-dimensional elec- trode structure can effectively enhance the charge storage capacity. At 1.0 mA/cm2 charge- discharge density, the three-dimensional electrode shows a capacitance of 17.88 mF/cm2, seven times higher than the two-dimensional electrode.展开更多

It generally takes a very long time to complete an inspection process on bridges. The manual data is sometimes unreliable or even wrong in the case of careless operation. The inspection activity itself is dangerous for inspectors, e.g., bridges are located in the sea or river. Some semi-automatic monitoring methods are recently employed, but they are either very expensive or do not work properly. Therefore, the traditional bridge monitoring process becomes an increasing challenge for bridge operators. In this paper, a real-time and automatic bridge monitoring system is presented to meet the bridge monitoring needs, and MEMS （Micro Electro Mechanical Systems） are the key building block in this system. By using the MEMS-based sensors, it is much more efficient and accurate in monitoring bridges with the measurement of inclination, acceleration, displacement, moisture, temperature, stress and other data.展开更多
