TEXTBOOK

Electromechanics and MEMSThomas B. JonesUniversity of Rochester, New York

and Nenad G. NenadicRochester Institute of Technology, New York

Offering a consistent, systematic approach to capacitive, piezoelectric and magnetic MEMS, from basic electromechanical transducers to high-level models for sensors and actuators, this comprehensive textbook equips graduate and senior-level undergraduate students with all the resources necessary to design and develop practical, system-level MEMS models. The concise yet thorough treatment of the underlying principles of electromechanical transduction provides a solid theoretical framework for this development, with each new topic related back to the core concepts. Repeated references to the shared commonalities of all MEMS encourage students to develop a systems-based design perspective. Extensive use is made of easy-to-interpret electrical and mechanical analogs, such as electrical circuits, electromechanical two-port models and the cascade paradigm. Each chapter features worked examples and numerous problems, all designed to test and extend students’ understanding of the key principles.

‘This is an excellent textbook presenting the fundamentals of electromechanics required by every practising MEMS engineer. The authors treat the arduous concepts of coupled electrical and mechanical systems simultaneously with lucidity and a thorough pedagogical rigor that comes from deep appreciation of the fi eld and the love to impart that knowledge as a teacher. The book elucidates the

concepts with very topical examples of microelectromechanical systems such as MEMS microphones, comb drive actuators, gyroscopes, energy harvesters, and piezoelectric and magnetic devices including Matlab® models and [a] comprehensive set of problems at the end of each chapter.’Srinivas Tadigadapa, Pennsylvania State University

TEXTBOOK

Biological Materials ScienceBiological Materials, Bioinspired Materials, and BiomaterialsMarc André MeyersUniversity of California, San Diego

and Po-Yu ChenNational Tsing Hua University, Taiwan

Taking a materials science approach, this book correlates structure-property relationships with function across a range of biological materials. Biopolymers, bioelastomers, forms, and ceramic composites are covered, and basic concepts are applied to biomimetics. Solved examples and end-of-chapter exercises are provided in the book, with solutions and PowerPoint fi gures available online.

‘The union of the physical and biological sciences is in many respects one of the most exciting yet challenging aspects of scientifi c endeavor today. Nowhere is this more in evidence than in the area of biological materials science and engineering where many materials scientists struggle with the complex puzzle of biological form and function while biologists in turn have to deal with the invariably highly quantitative nature of the physical sciences and engineering. With this book, Meyers and Chen have delivered a true tour de force which takes the reader in clear and precise text from cells to virus-produced Li-ion batteries. This book is a must read for undergraduates, graduates and researchers alike in the rapidly expanding fi elds of biological, bioinspired and biomaterials science.’Robert Ritchie, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

TEXTBOOK

Optimization ModelsGiuseppe C. Calafi orePolitecnico di Torino

and Laurent El GhaouiUniversity of California, Berkeley

Emphasizing practical understanding over the technicalities of specifi c algorithms, this elegant textbook teaches students how to recognize, simplify, model and solve optimization problems – and apply these basic principles to their own projects. Accompanied by an online solution manual, accessible only to instructors.

‘In Optimization Models, Calafi ore and El Ghaoui have created a beautiful and very much needed on-ramp to the world of modern mathematical optimization and its wide range of applications. They lead an undergraduate, with not much more than basic calculus behind her, from the basics of linear algebra all the way to modern optimization-based machine learning, image processing, control, and fi nance, to name just a few applications. Until now, these methods and topics were accessible only to graduate students in a few fi elds, and the few undergraduates who brave the daunting prerequisites. The book’s seamless integration of mathematics and applications, and its focus on modeling practical problems and algorithmic solution methods, will be very appealing to a wide audience.’Stephen Boyd, Stanford University
