Closed-form empirical relations to predict the dynamic pull-in parameters of electrostatically actuated tapered microcantilevers

Abstract: We develop novel closed-form empirical relations to estimate the dynamic pull-in parameters of electrostatically actuated linearly tapered microcantilever beams driven by a step-function voltage. A computationally efficient single degree-of-freedom model is employed in the setting of an energy-based technique to characterize the dynamic pull-in of the distributed electromechanical model that takes into account the effects of fringing field capacitance. The model exploits the fundamental mode shape of the respe… Show more

“…In this case, the electric load applied to the devices is often composed of a dc bias voltage and an ac component designed to excite harmonic motion. The second group [15][16][17][18][19][20] deals with the dynamic pull-in due to transient excitation (dc excitation). The aim of this paper is to present an easy-to-use model for calculating the dynamic pull-in position and voltage of microbeams actuated by a step voltage.…”

“…On the other hand, because the elastic moduli of NcMs are likely to decrease due of the interface effect, the material structure can affect the rigidity through a softening mechanism depending on the grain size. Therefore, the classical mathematical models [17,[55][56][57] lose the accuracy to estimate the pull-in voltage values of actuated beams. Moreover, including only couple stress effect in the mathematical model [32,33,34] results in an overestimation of the pull-in voltage values of actuated beams.…”
