摘要
The damping characteristics of beam-shaped microactuators that oscillate in the transverse direction are analytically evaluated to establish a design method that minimizes energy consumption and increases dynamic performance. The damping force due to airflow is calculated using the Navier-Stokes equation, the accuracy of which is verified by comparing the calculated damping with experimental results. The contributions to the damping due to squeeze force, internal friction, and support loss are calculated by using the Reynolds equation, structural damping theory, and a two-dimensional theory of elasticity, respectively. The final formulae, obtained in simple and closed forms for easy use in the actual design process, are then used to evaluate the relationships between the beam size and the damping ratio of silicon cantilevers, Permalloy cantilevers, and Permalloy spiral springs. Finally, the step response of a Permalloy cantilever is calculated and the relationship between beam size and settling time is determined.
