Article: Research on microelectromechanical systems reported by scientists at State University of New York.

"We present a theoretical and experimental investigation into the effect of the motion of a printed circuit board (PCB) on the response of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices to shock loading. For the theoretical part, a 2-DOF model is used, where the first degree of freedom accounts for the PCB," scientists writing in the Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems report.

"The second degree of freedom represents the motion of the MEMS microstructure. Low-g acceleration pulses are applied to the MEMS-PCB assembly base to simulate shock pulses generated from a drop-table test. Simulation data are presented to show the effects of the natural frequency of ...
