  • Abstract
    Design and modelling of test structures for the analysis of fatigue damage occurring in oscillating microstructures is presented. F.E.M. models are realized to optimize specimen shapes and electro-mechanical actuation parameters. Two different structural geometries are defined to realize both traction and shear tensile specimen actuations through the actuation of out-of-plane movable plates.
