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 ...

In this study, static deflection and Instability of doubleclamped

nanobeams actuated by electrostatic field and

intermolecular force, are investigated. The model

accounts for the electric force ...

is the electrostatic force, the combined electrostatic and Casimir force and the combined electrostatic and van der Waals force. In all three cases the pull-in characteristics has been investigated thoroughly. Results have been compared with numerical results and also...

In this research, the static behavior of torsional nano-/micro-actuators under van der Waals (vdW) force is studied. First, the equilibrium equation governing the static behavior of torsional nano-/micro-actuators under ...

In this paper the effects of temperature on the radial breathing modes (RBMs) and radial wave propagation in multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are investigated using a continuum model of multiple elastic isotropic shells. The van der Waals forces...

In this paper, combination of the Galerkin decomposition procedure and homotopy analysis method (HAM) is utilized to derive analytical approximate solutions for nonlinear vibration of a fully clamped nanobeam used in the ...

In the present study, a uniformly curved Euler-Bernoulli beam model is developed to analyze the hygro-thermal

vibration and stability of curved double-walled carbon nanotubes (CDWCNT) conveying fluid subjected to ...
