Abstract
Micro-rotating disks are extensively used in micro-electromechanical systems such as micro-gyroscopes and micro-rotors. Because of the sensitivity of these elements, enough knowledge about the mechanical behavior of these structures is an essential matter for designers and fabricators. The small-scale effects on the in-plane free vibration of such micro-disks present an important aspect of the mechanical behavior of these elements. The small-scale effects on the in-plane free vibration of these micro-disks are investigated in this study using the modified couple stress theory. By using the Hamilton principle, the partial differential equations governing the coupled radial and tangential motion of the disk particles with their corresponding boundary conditions are derived. Then, the solution for the boundary value problem is analytically presented. The effects of the angular speed of the micro-disks and the length scale parameter of the modified couple stress theory on the steady radial and tangential displacements, and on the natural frequencies are investigated. Those results are compared with the ones previously obtained from the classical continuum mechanics analysis.
