A Study on Phase Change Materials at Low Thermal Mass with Micro-Electro-Mechanical Resonators
DownloadSpring 2020
Micro-electromechanical systems or MEMS is a modern technology used to create tiny, integrated devices or systems that combine mechanical and electrical components. These miniaturized devices can sense, control and actuate on the micro and nano scales, and generate observable effects on the macro...

An examination of linking and blocking procedures for use in deflection cantilever array-based protein detection
DownloadFall 2011
In this project common linking and blocking procedures were examined for use in multiplexed deflection cantilever array-based detection of proteins. A human interferon gamma (INF-γ) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the linking and blocking...

High aspect ratio microelectromechanical structures have been found, in the literature, to collapse due to capillary forces of liquids. In this dissertation, mathematical models are developed to study (i) the collapse of a microstructure represented by a double cantilevered beam (DCB) with a free...
