Abstract
A magnetic actuation system is a promising tool for untethered manipulation at the microscale that medical treatment can benefit from. This paper proposes a new magnetic actuation system that comprises of two coaxial coils on a rotary table. A fixed workspace is placed between coils. The proposed system is able to generate magnetic force with desired direction and magnitude in a plane. The conducted simulation and experiment confirm the capability of the proposed system to control the position of the microrobot. © 2019 IEEE

Abstract
Despite vast efforts in developing hybrid continuum-molecular methods, there has been no specific work focused on the gas mixture flow simulations including the mixing and/or separation of species. In present study, we extend a hybrid method to analyze such phenomena suitably and study the gas mixing problems in micro/nano length scales reliably. The results of current hybrid simulations are compared against the results of full-molecular simulations to evaluate the physical accuracy of developed hybrid method. The effect of continuum breakdown criterion is investigated to find out the achieved accuracy of developed hybrid simulation method from different perspectives. The current results...
Mechanical Formulation for Pre-twisted Micro/Nano Beams Based on the Strain Gradient Theory
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Asghari, Mohsen (Supervisor)
Abstract
One of the extensively used, yet complex, structures in the industry is pre-twisted Micro/Nano beams. Studying their mechanical behavior helps to have a broader view of them. In this present study, explores and analyzes the behavior of a pre-twisted Micro/Nano beam with a quadrangular/rectangular cross-section using the strain gradient theory and modified couple stress theory. Using the calculus of variations and the Hamiltonian principle the elastodynamics governing partial differential equations of transverse deflection of the pre-twisted Micro/Nano beam with hinged-hinged boundary conditions are derived. Then the mechanical behavior of the pre-twisted Micro/Nano beam in static mode and...
