Pull-in instability as an inherently nonlinear and crucial effect continues to become
increasingly important for the design of electrostatic MEMS and NEMS devices and ever …

Micro scale experiments demonstrated that the material deformation behaviors of some
metals and polymers deformed elasticity are size dependence, and the modified couple …

In order to compensate for the loss of performance when scaling resonant sensors down to
NEMS, it proves extremely useful to study the behavior of resonators up to very high …

Electrostatic-driven microelectromechanical systems devices, in most cases, consist of
couplings of such energy domains as electromechanics, optical electricity, thermoelectricity …

A comprehensive model of an electrostatically actuated microcantilever beam separated
from the ground plane by relatively larger gap is formulated accounting for the nonlinearities …

We present modeling, analysis and experimental investigation for nonlinear resonances and
the dynamic pull-in instability in electrostatically actuated resonators. These phenomena are …

Micro and nano devices incorporating bistable structural elements have functional
advantages including the existence of several stable configurations at the same actuation …

Analog-to-digital converters based on sigma-delta modulators (ΣAM) are a popular choice
for high resolution conversion from the analog to the digital domain. With relatively small …

We present experimental and theoretical investigations of dynamic pull-in of electrostatically
actuated resonators. Several experimental data are presented, showing regimes of ac …

This paper presents analysis, design, realization, and experimental demonstration of a
bistable switch actuated dynamically utilizing mechanical resonance phenomenon. We …
