ME-5764: Modeling MEMS and NEMS
Description: Modeling MEMS and NEMS is about the construction, analysis, and interpretation of mathematical and computational models of microelectromechanical and nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS and NEMS). A goal throughout the course will be to develop a physical intuition for the fundamental phenomena at these small scales. The material covered will be broad and multidisciplinary including: dimensional analysis and scaling; a review of continuum mechanics; fluid dynamics, elasticity, thermal transport, and electromagnetism at the micro and nanoscales; the modeling of a variety of new MEMS/NEMS devices; and approaches beyond the continuum theory including stochastic and deterministic methods. Graduate standing required.
