Levitation Micro-Systems

This book presents inductive and hybrid levitation micro-systems and their applications in micro-sensors and ¿actuators. It proposes and discusses analytical and quasi-finite element techniques for modeling levitation micro-systems based on the Lagrangian formalism. In particular, micro-bearings, -actuators, -accelerators and ¿accelerometers based on inductive levitation are comprehensively described with accompanying experimental measurements.
