Mott | | Affilation: | NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, USA | | Pages: | 291 - 293 | | Keywords: | MEMS, micro-shutter, silicon nitride, electrostatic, electromagnetic | | Abstract: | Finite element models have been created to simulate the electrostatic and electromagnetic actuation of a 0.5mm silicon nitride micro-shutter for use in a space-based Multi-object Spectrometer (MOS). The micro-shutter uses a torsion hinge to go from the closed, 0 degree, position, to the open, 90 degree position. Stresses in the torsion bar are determined with a large deformation nonlinear finite element model. The simulation results are compared to experimental measurements of fabricated micro-shutter devices. |  | View paper | | ISBN: | 0-9708275-7-1 |
