Design and modeling of a MEMS-based accelerometer with pull in analysis

This thesis reports the design and modelling of a MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical system) based inertial accelerometer. The main motivation to design a differential type of accelerometer is that such a kind of structure allows differential electrostatic actuation and capacitive sensing. They can be o...
