Multiple Solutions in Electrostatic MEMS

Pelesko J.A., Georgia Institute of Technology, US

The pull-in voltage instability is the principle phenomena limiting the design of nearly every electrostatically actuated MEMS device. In this instability, when applied voltages are increased beyond a certain critical voltage there is no longer [...]

Nonlocal Problems in MEMS Device Control

Pelesko J.A., Triolo A.A., Georgia Institute of Technology, US

Perhaps the most ubiquitous phenomena associated with electrostatically actuated MEMS devices is the "pull-in" voltage instability. In this instability, when applied voltages are increased beyond a certain critical voltage there is no longer a steady-state [...]
