Abstract

In this paper, we present the design and performance of a MEMS-device based on the magnetostrictive effect, which can be used as a micro-loudspeaker. The device basically consists of a comb structure of monomorph bending cantilevers with an active area up to 3.0 x 2.5 mm(2). It produces a sound-pressure-level up to 101 dB at 400 Hz in a standard 2 ccm measurement volume. We show our measurement setup as well as a mechanic-acoustic-coupled lumped element model to calculate sound pressure. The model incorporates finite element results for mechanical behavior. Measurement results validate our model assumptions. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3554200]
