Employing a tri-electrode actuator in place of a conventional parallel plate electrostatic
actuator, can enable significantly lower control voltage operation for applications such as …

Recently, a circular symmetrical nonlinear stationary 2D differential model for biomedical
micropumps, where the amplitude of the electrostatic field is locally proportional to the …

In modelling electrostatically actuated micro-and nano-electromechanical systems,
researchers have typically relied on a small-aspect ratio to form a leading-order theory. In …

Electrostatic actuation of micro-structures is largely affected by static charges, leading to its
unpredictable behavior. Microstructures mainly accumulate static charges during fabrication …
