This is the first paper which investigates the nonlinear forced dynamic response of shear
deformable functionally graded (SDFG) microscale beams with viscoelastic properties. A …

This paper designs and analyzes a novel RF MEMS capacitive switch with a high on/off
capacitance ratio and low pull-in voltage. Compared with general capacitive RF MEMS …

The stability and bifurcations of viscoelastic microcantilevers is investigated via the Kelvin–
Voigt scheme and the modified couple stress (MCS) theory. All the nonlinearities due to …

Viscosity effects on the mechanical behaviour of functionally graded (FG) Timoshenko
microbeams are investigated; the model possesses both linear nonlinear viscous terms. The …
