Abstract

This paper presents an investigation into the response of a clamped-c lamped microbeam to mechanical shock under the effect of squeeze-film damping (SQFD). In this work, we solve simultaneously the nonlinear Reynolds equation, to model squeeze-film damping, coupled with a nonlinear Euler- Bernoulli beam equation. A Galerkin-based reduced-order model and a finite-deference method (FDM) are utilized for the solid domain and for the fluid domain, respectively. Several results showing the effect of gas pressure on the response of the microbeams are shown. Comparison with the results of a multi- physics nonlinear finite-element model is presented. The results indicate that squeeze-film damping has more significant effect on the response of microstructures in the dynamic shock loads compared to the quasi-static shock loads.
