Nonlinear Analytical Reduced-Order Models for MEMS

Westby E.R., Fjeldly T.A., Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NO

We present a method for constructing a nonlinear, analytical, reduced-order model for MEMS-structures. The method is based on the center manifold approach for describing nonlinear modes of mechanical systems, in combination with techniques for predicting [...]
