16、f this document, the following definitions apply. 2.1 General terms 2.1.1 micro-electromechanical device microsized device, in which sensors, actuators, mechanical components and/or electric circuits are integrated 2.1.2 MEMS microsized electromechanical systems, in which sensors, actuators and/or e
17、lectric circuits are integrated on a chip using a semiconductor process NOTE MEMS is an acronym standing for “micro-electromechanical systems“. The term MEMS is mostly used in the United States. In general, this term means technologies to realize microstructures, sensors, and actuators by using sili
18、con process technology, though it is occasionally used in some other meanings. 2.1.3 MST technologies to realize microelectrical, optical and machinery systems and even their components by using micromachining NOTE MST is an acronym standing for microsystem technologies. The term MST is mostly used
19、in Europe. 2.1.4 micromachine miniaturized devices the components of which are several millimeters or smaller in size, or a microsystem that consists of an integration of such devices NOTE The term micromachine has a broad sense from a functional device such as sensor that utilizes the micromachine
20、technology to a completed system. A molecular machine called a nanomachine is also included. Such industrial applications are expected as inspection and repair systems for piping or confined spaces, and micro-factories, which consume less energy. In the medical field, micromachines are expected to r
21、eplace ordinary surgery by less invasive treatment from the inside of the body. Research and development for the realization of micromachines is divided into two approaches: micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) using semiconductor manufacturing processes, and miniaturization of the existing machin
22、e technologies. 4 EN 62047-1:20062.1.5 micromachine technology technology relating to micromachines NOTE Micromachine-related technologies are extremely diversified. In the fundamental technology field, micromachine technologies include: design, material, processing, functional element, system contr
23、ol, energy supply, bonding and assembly, electrical circuit, and evaluation as well as micro-science and engineering such as thermodynamics and tribology in a microscale. Micromachine technologies have two aspects: technologies required to realize micromachines, and technologies required to apply su
24、ch technical seeds to other industrial fields. 2.2 Terms relating to science and engineering 2.2.1 micro-science and engineering science and engineering for the microscopic world of micromachines NOTE When mechanical systems are miniaturized, various physical parameters change. Two cases prevail: 1)
25、 these changes can be predicted by extrapolating the changes of the macro-world, and 2) the peculiarity of the microscopic world becomes apparent and extrapolation is not possible. In the latter case, it is necessary to establish new theoretical and empirical equations for the explanation of phenome
26、na in the microscopic world. Moreover, new methods of analyses and syntheses to deal with engineering problems must be developed. Material science, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, tribology, control engineering, and kinematics can be systematized as micro-sciences and engineering supporting micromec
27、hatronics. 2.2.2 scale effect changes of various effects on the objects behaviour or the properties caused by the change of the objects dimension NOTE The volume of an object is proportional to the third power of its dimension, while the surface area is proportional to the second power. As a result,
28、 effect of surface force becomes larger than that of the body force in the microscopic world. For example, the dominant force in the motion of microscopic object is not the inertial force but the electrostatic force or viscous force. Material properties of microscopic objects are also affected by th
29、e internal material structure and surface, and, as a result, characteristic values are sometimes different from those of bulks. Frictional properties in the microscopic world also differ from that in the macroscopic world. Therefore, those effects must be considered cautiously while designing a micr
30、omachine. 2.2.3 mesotribology tribology applying to the intermediate mesoscopic area between the microscopic world and the macroscopic world NOTE Tribology deals with friction and wear in the macroscopic world. On the other hand, two major topics of microtribology research are the investigation of t
31、ribology phenomena on an atomic or molecular scale, and the quantification of characteristics in friction or wear. If the macro-characteristics generated on both surfaces undergoing relative motion are traced to where they originate, the minimum unit of the atomic or molecule cluster causing those c
32、haracteristics is reached. Observation on a finer scale reaches a boundary at which these characteristics disappear. Mesotribology pursues new developments on the micro-macro boundary by bringing together atoms on a subnanometer scale to create a mesoscopic scale and investigating the tribological p
33、henomena on this scale. 5 EN 62047-1:20062.2.4 microtribology tribology for the microscopic world of micromachines NOTE Tribology deals with friction and wear in the macroscopic world. On the other hand,when the dimensions of components such as those in micromachines become extremely small, surface
34、force and viscous force become dominant instead of gravity and inertial force. According to Coulombs law of friction, frictional force is proportional to the normal load. In the micromachine environment, because of the reaction between surface forces, a large frictional force occurs that would be in
35、conceivable in an ordinary scale environment. And very small quantity of abrasion that would not become a problem in an ordinary scale environment can fatally damage a micromachine. Microtribology research seeks to reduce frictional forces or to discover conditions that are free of friction, even on
36、 an atomic level. In this research, phenomena that occur with friction surfaces or solid surfaces at from angstrom to nanometer resolution are observed, or analysis of interaction on an atomic level is performed. These approaches are expected to be applied in solving problems in tribology for the or
37、dinary scale environment as well as for the micromachine environment. 2.2.5 biomimetics creating functions that imitate the motions or the mechanisms of organisms NOTE In devising microscopic mechanisms suitable for the micromachines, the mechanisms and structures of organisms that have survived sev
38、ere natural selection may serve as good examples to imitate. One example is the microscopic three-dimensional structures that were modelled after the exoskeletons and elastic coupling systems of insects. In exoskeletons, hard epidermis is coupled with an elastic body, and all movable parts use the d
39、eformation of the elastic body to move. The use of elastic deformation would be advantageous in the microscopic world to avoid the friction. Also, the exoskeleton structure equates to a closed link mechanism in kinematics and has the characteristic that some actuator movement can be transmitted to m
40、ultiple links. 2.2.6 ciliary motion coordinated motion of multiple cilia NOTE Progressive waves are generated by coordinated motion of multiple cilia, which is used to transfer fluid or tiny particles, or are used to propel a microscopic organism itself. An example of the former is the ejection of m
41、icroscopic waste from human tracheae, and of the latter is the swimming of unicellular organisms, such as paramecium. By imitating these ciliary motions, actuators with many artificial cilia have been fabricated by micromachining. 2.2.7 self-organization organization of a system without any external
42、 manipulation or control, where nonequilibrium structure emerges spontaneously due to the collective interactions among a number of simple microscopic objects or phenomena 2.3 Terms relating to material science 2.3.1 shape memory polymer resin that can recover its primary shape after being deformed
43、when it is heated or receives any other stimuli NOTE To have the shape memory property, a resin has to have mixed domains of the bridged or partially crystallized fixed phase and the reversible phase. Memorizing and restoring a shape takes the following steps. The resin is kept above a specific temp
44、erature to soften both the fixed and reversible phases. Then, holding the resin in one shape (primary shape), temperature is lowered to freeze the fixed phase while the reversible phase is kept soft, thereby storing memory of the primary shape. Then the resin is deformed to another shape (secondary
45、shape) by external force, and cooled further to freeze the reversible phase and keep the secondary shape. In this state, the secondary shape is retained even if the external force is removed. The stored primary shape is restored if the resin is heated to the temperature at which only the reversible
46、phase softens. Since restoration shape is enabled by softening by heat, the generated force is limited. Some resins recover shape not by heat but by changes in pH, electrical stimuli, or light stimuli. Shape memory resins are made of polyester, polyurethane, styrene butadiene, polynorbornane, transp
47、olyisoprene, and so on. 6 EN 62047-1:20062.3.2 modification processing technology that modifies physical or chemical properties of the material NOTE Modification processes include local doping by a focused ion beam, laser doping inducing phase transition such as single crystal formation, ion implant
48、ation, and ion mixing. 2.4 Terms relating to functional element 2.4.1 actuator mechanical device that converts various types of energies such as electric energy, chemical energy into kinematic energy to perform mechanical work NOTE For a micromachine to perform mechanical work, the microactuator is
49、indispensable as a basic component. Major examples are the electrostatic actuator prepared by silicon process, piezoelectric actuator that utilizes functional materials like lead zirconate titanate, PZT, pneumatic rubber-actuator, and so on. Many other actuators based on various energy conversion principles have been investigated and developed. However, all these actuators deteriorate their energy conversion efficiency as their size is reduced. Therefore, motion mechanisms of organisms such as deformation of protein molecules, flagel
