This paper presents an extended Kantorovich approach to investigate the vibrational behavior of electrically actuated rectangular microplates. The model accounts for the electric force of the excitation and for the applied ...

This paper investigates dynamic pull-in instability of MEMS incorporating squeeze film

damping effects and electrostatic actuation. To this end, an Euler-Bernoulli beam model is

employed within the von-Kármán geometric non...

This study focuses on the effect of mechanical shock on dynamic pull-in instability of eclectically actuatedmicro-beams through an alternative reduced order model (ROM). The model’s predictions for dynamicpull-in voltages ...

Size-dependent stability analysis of a fully clamped micro-electro-mechanical beam under

the effect of shock acceleration pulse is the objective of present paper. The size-dependent

Euler–Bernoulli beam model ...

Dual axis micromirrors are actuated using strongly nonlinear

electrostatic actuation and their operating range suffers from

the pull-in problem. So investigation of their dynamics and

control issues has become a challenge...

This paper presents an extended Kantorovich approach to

This study focuses on the static pull-in instability of electrostatically actuated nano-cantilevers subjected to the van der Waals (vdW) attraction. For this aim, the equivalent mass-spring model with equivalent mechanical properties is considered...

In this paper, the effect of van der Waals (vdW) force on the pull-in behavior of electrostatically actuated nano/micromirrors is investigated. First, the minimum potential energy principle is utilized to find the equation governing the static...
