Objectives

• Develop new MEMS models that include package effects, pre-stress, mode coupling and failure modes
• Develop a new modelling methodology based on analytical and behavioural techniques for MEMS

Use of Cosserat theory to generate VHDL-AMS models	Include failure mode effects into VHDL-AMS models	Main project demonstrator - electro-static actuator for a HDD
