MEMS Mechanical Sensors Author:Steve P. Beeby, Graham Ensel, Michael Kraft Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are ushering in the next generation of technology in medicine, transportation, manufacturing, and electronics. MEMS sensors are a key component to this new technology. Engineers and researchers can turn to this reference time and time again when they need to overcome challenges in design, simulation, fabrica... more »tion and application of MEMS sensors. With this practical guide to design tools and packaging, professionals and academics can create the sensors they need for a complete range of next generation applications. This new resource covers all the major areas of MEMS sensors and takes an especially close look at pressure and inertial sensors. Engineers can tap into current and future market trends in such key applications areas as force and torque, flow in microfluidics, and displacement.MarketElectronics/mechanical engineers and researchers involved with MEMS, as well as graduate engineering students in related courses.ContentsIntroduction.
