A micro language: generating MEMS resonators by using a coupled form - function shape grammar

Shape grammars are shown to be capable of generating coupled form - function devices by first satisfying the minimum required functionality and then modifying the device to obtain the desired specifications. Advantages of a weighted <i>U</i>₂₂ algebra in conjunction with a <i>U</i>₁₂ grammar are also discussed. The approach is demonstrated by describing a shape grammar for the design of MEMS resonators.<p><a href="../../fulltext/b27/b2619.pdf"><img src="../../../gifs/pdf-art.gif" border=0 align=right alt="Download full text"></a>
