Analysis of Membrane Behavior of a Normally Closed Microvalve Using a Fluid-Structure Interaction Model

In this paper, membrane deflection against fluid flow and opening membrane (threshold) pressure were studied using fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis, and compared with experimental data obtained by Jaemin et al. In the current analysis, two different models (I-shaped and V-shaped) were used...
