(DURIP) MICRO SYSTEM ANALYZER FOR RESONANT ULTRASOUND SPECTROSCOPY EXPERIMENT, BONE CONDUCTION MICROPHONE DESIGN, AND MICRO METAMATERIAL CHARACTERIZATION

Abstract

In this DURIP proposal, the University of Mississippi seek funding for a scanning Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV) for microsystems and MEMS. This instrument will be the first 3D vibration measurement system with a MHz frequency range in the department of mechanical engineering at the University of Mississippi (UM). It will be an essential tool for the researches of the PI. The PI’s research covers different areas that are of interest to the department of defense missions stated in the broad agency announcements. These researches include designing and improving a new type of metamaterials with electromagnetic forces, design and characterizing bone conduction microphones for enhanced communications in a noisy environment such as a flight deck and combat zones, and resonant ultrasound spectroscopy. A subset of these works is the continuation of the work PI has performed in the Air force research lab during his three summer faculty fellowship, which resulted in three journal publications with the host researcher so far. This collaboration is an ongoing work, and this instrument will help the research to a large extent and enables the PI to extend this work from theoretical to experimental work.
