Abstract:
For the purpose of measuring the mechanical properties of MEMS materials, a novel integrated instrument called the Micro-load and displacement tester (MLDT) characterized by long-range and high-resolution is developed. The loading mechanism of the tester is designed to be a monolithic two-stage flexure hinged structure due to measurement needs. In order to realize maximum output displacement more than 50 mu m and output force more than IN of the first-stage, a flexure hinged micro-displacement amplifier driven by piezoelectric (PZT) actuator is designed, whose structural parameters are determined by means of the genetic algorithm (GA) optimization method. A finite element (FE) model about the amplifier is established and FE analysis was performed. Some tests are carried out to an amplifier prototype, which is fabricated with Electro-discharge machining (EDM) technique. Experimental results show that the maximum output displacement can reach 53.12 mu m and the displacement resolution is less than 10 nm, which is consistent closely with the FE prediction and satisfies the loading requirements.
