| Capillary Forces in Microassembly discusses the use of capillary forces as a gripping principle in microscale assembly. Clearly written and well-organized, this text brings together physical concepts at the microscale with practical applications in micromanipulation. Throughout this work, the reader will find a review of the existing gripping principles, elements to model capillary forces as well as descriptions of the simulation and experimental test bench developed to study the design parameters. Using well-known concepts from surface science (such as surface tension, capillary effects, wettability, and contact angles) as inputs to mechanical models, the amount of effort required to handle micro-components is predicted. These developments are then applied in a case study concerning the pick and place of balls in a watch ball bearing.
Researchers and engineers involved in micromanipulation and precision assembly will find this a highly useful reference for microassembly system design and analysis. |

Math Word Problems For Dummies (Math & Science)Math word problems (or story problems, depending on where and when you went to school). What topic has caused more hair to be pulled from tender heads, more tears and anguish, and, at the same time, more feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment? When I told friends that I was writing this book, their responses were varied, but none was mild or... | | | | |
