Physics-Informed Neural Networks for Modal Analysis of Diaphragm-Structured Mems with Experimental Validation

We present and experimentally validate a novel framework that leverages physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) for advanced MEMS eigenmode analysis. Our work advances the field in three key ways: (1) we demonstrate the successful application of PINNs to calculate multiple vibration modes in MEMS diaphragms of arbitrary geometry by proposing and implementing three key physical equation as constraints; (2) we validate our PINNs model through digital holographic microscopy (DHM) measurements on a fabricated Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer (PMUT) device; and (3) we develop a highly efficient computational platform that combines our PINNs and already existing analytical models to evaluate PMUT array performance using only geometrical configurations of the array.

Abstract

We present and experimentally validate a novel framework that leverages physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) for advanced MEMS eigenmode analysis. Our work advances the field in three key ways: (1) we demonstrate the successful application of PINNs to calculate multiple vibration modes in MEMS diaphragms of arbitrary geometry by proposing and implementing three key physical equation as constraints; (2) we validate our PINNs model through digital holographic microscopy (DHM) measurements on a fabricated Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer (PMUT) device; and (3) we develop a highly efficient computational platform that combines our PINNs and already existing analytical models to evaluate PMUT array performance using only geometrical configurations of the array.
