Authors Abstract
Content
The work presents a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) temperature sensor that has been designed using COMSOL Multiphysics 6.0 software for use in predicting the temperature of automotive parts. Due to its versatility, the shape of this design employs a meander, and this involves joule heating physics. It clearly shows the variation of resistance with temperature. For this design, Nitinol nano material is used because of the following advantages: Enhanced Shape Memory Effect, Superior Super elasticity, Increased Surface Area, Increased Surface Area, Improved Biocompatibility, Tunable Properties, Enhanced Mechanical Properties. Nitinol having high strength to weight ratio find its application in aerospace industry. This sensor works based on the principle of temperature dependence of resistance; that is, the resistance of the material increases or decreases based on temperature. It is observed that Nitinol has low von Mises stress, proving the safety nature of the material in operating conservative stress regime
