Preface

Welcome to the online study guide for the Mechanical Devices and Transduction part of the module Device Physics. As we cannot give the regular lectures, I have been thinking what would be the most efficient way that would allow you to this part of the module by self study. This has resulted in this study guide, which in principle contains all material from the lecture slides and the reader. If you go through this study guide you should be able to pass the Mechanical Devices and Transduction part of the module.

Please note that, as this is the first time that we use this guide and it had to be made in a very limited amount of time, it may contain some errors. Please let me know in case you find any! Also, I am very interested in your opinion and all feedback is welcome.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me: r.j.wiegerink@utwente.nl

Best regards,

Remco

 

 

Acknowledgment

This study guide contains a lot of material from lecture slides and from the reader Introduction to Mechanics and Transducer Science. There have been numerous people who have contributed to content and form of previous versions of the material. Much of the content can still be traced back to the earlier lecture notes on transducers by Prof. Jan Fluitman, Prof. Miko Elwenspoek and Prof. Gijs Krijnen. Many people have been involved in improving the lecture note over the years with large contributions from Stein Kuiper, Niels Tas, Niels Olij, Toine van Erp and Bob Groenewoud.
