• Constitutive Equations of Piezoelectric Layered Beams with Interdigitated Electrodes 

      Nguyen, Cuong Hung; Hanke, Ulrik; Halvorsen, Einar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)
      This paper establishes the constitutive equations, or linear two-port models, of piezoelectric layered beams with interdigital electrodes (IDEs). The effect of the nontrivial field on the transduction is analyzed. Based ...
    • Experimental validation of damping model for a MEMS bistable electrostatic energy harvester 

      Nguyen, Cuong Hung; Nguyen, Duy Son; Halvorsen, Einar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      This paper validates lumped models of an asymmetric bistable MEMS electrostatic energy harvester against measurements. A conventional model of constant damping coefficient turns out to be ineffective in predicting or ...
    • Interdigital-Electrode Thin-Film Piezoelectric Microactuators 

      Nguyen, Cuong Hung (Doctoral dissertations at the University College of Southeast Norway;29, Doctoral thesis, 2018-01)
      Along with microsensors, microactuators are the most important components of microelectromechanical systems. Many microactuators use piezoelectric coupling mechanisms because they allow these actuators to generate high ...
