A studied magnetic field sensor is based on resonant operation of magnetoelectric micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). Subsequently to an applied magnetic field, the micro beam changes the eigenfrequency, due to the magnetostrictive effect. Euler-Bernoulli beam theory can calculate eigenfrequenc...

Zusammenfassung:A studied magnetic field sensor is based on resonant operation of magnetoelectric micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). Subsequently to an applied magnetic field, the micro beam changes the eigenfrequency, due to the magnetostrictive effect. Euler-Bernoulli beam theory can calculate eigenfrequencies of bending vibrations of beams with high accuracy. Implementing more complex beam geometries is challenging, thus often the finite element method (FEM) is used. This paper deals with the modeling of prestressed beams with multilayered structure and discontinuities along the beam length using Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. The arising problems are addressed in detail. As an example, the model is applied to the studied magnetoelectric sensor and shows good accordance to FEM simulations. An optimization algorithm is used to find a sensor geometry that leads to high output signals utilizing the developed model as input for the minimization of a target function.
