Micro and nanoelectromechanical systems M/NEMS have been extensively investigated
and exploited in the past few decades for various applications and for probing fundamental …

This paper is a review of the remarkable progress that has been made during the past few
decades in design, modeling, and fabrication of micromachined resonators. Although micro …

We study the pull-in instability in microelectromechanical (MEMS) resonators and find that
characteristics of the pull-in phenomenon in the presence of AC loads differ from those …

As one of important characteristics of the nonlinear system containing the quadratic or cubic
nonlinearity, the internal resonance between the system's modes may occur and affect the …

It has been known for some time that nonlinearity and discreteness play important roles in
many branches of condensed-matter physics as evidenced by the appearance of domain …

We explore an electrostatic mechanism for tuning the nonlinearity of nanomechanical
resonators and increasing their dynamic range for sensor applications. We also demonstrate …

The present study investigates the nonlinear dynamics of a geometrically imperfect
microbeam numerically on the basis of the modified couple stress theory. Hamilton's …

This review provides a summary of work on the resonant nonlinear dynamics of micro-and
nanoelectromechanical systems. This research area, which has been active for …

A wide range of microelectromechanical systems (MEMSs) and devices are actuated using
electrostatic forces. Multiphysics modeling is required, since coupling among different fields …

In this paper, we investigate the dynamic behavior of clamped–clamped micromachined
arches when actuated by a small DC electrostatic load superimposed to an AC harmonic …
