Integrated structure for a resonant micro-gyroscope andaccelerometer
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2014, Vol 8, Issue 29
Abstract
This paper presents the study of the mechanical behavior of a microstructure designed to detectacceleration and angular velocity simultaneously. The new resonant micro-sensor proposed, fabricated by theThELMA© surface-micromachining technique, bases detection of two components of external acceleration (onein-plane component and one out-of plane component) and two components of angular velocity (roll and yaw)on the variation of frequency of several elements set in resonance. The device, despite its small dimensions,provides a differential decoupled detection of four external quantities thanks to the presence of four slenderbeams resonating in bending and four torsional resonators.

A unified approach for static and dynamic fracture failure in solids and granular materials by a particle method
The material structure at the microscale reveals the particulate nature of solids. By exploiting the discrete aspect of materials, the so-called particle methods developed and applied to the simulation of solids a...
The theory of critical distances applied to problems in fracture and fatigue of bone
The theory of critical distances (TCD) has been applied to predict notch-based fracture and fatigue in a wide range of materials and components. The present paper describes a series of projects in which we applied this a...
Wedge splitting test method: quantification of influence of glued marble plates by two-parameter fracture mechanics
In the present paper, the well-known wedge splitting test (WST) is applied on specimens with different geometries (S= 150, 200, 300 mm) and variants of the specimens’ configurations. K-calibration (B1) and T-stre...
