We report on the lateral pull-in in capacitive MEMS transducers that employ a repulsive
electrostatic force. The moving element in this system undergoes motion in two dimensions …

The static and dynamic behavior of a MEMS subjected to thermoelastic and squeeze-film
effects is investigated. We analyse the various engineering aspects which interact in a …

In this study, dynamic pull-in instability and snap-through buckling of initially curved
microbeams are investigated. The microbeams are actuated by suddenly applied …

This paper presents lumped-parameter simulation of dynamic characteristics of peristaltic
micropumps. The pump consists of three pumping cells connected in series, each of which is …

The pull-in time (tpi) of electrostatically actuated parallel-plate microstructures enables the
