Characterizing the Three-Dimensional Behavior of Bistable Micromechanisms

Characterizing the Three-Dimensional Behavior of Bistable Micromechanisms

Compliant bistable micromechanisms have been proposed for use in applications such as switches, relays, shutters, and sensing arrays. Unpublished laboratory testing suggests that off-axis forces may affect the bistable nature of fully compliant bistable micromechanisms (FCBMs). The actuation forces...
