Optimization of elstomeric micro-fluidic valve dimensions using non-linear finite element methods
We use a nonlinear finite element (FE) method model to compare,optimize and determine the limits for useful geometries of microfluidicvalves in elastomer polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Simulations havebeen performed with the aim of finding the optimal shape, size andlocation of pressurization that min...
