Abstract:This work focuses on the pull-in phenomena of electrically actuated size-dependent microbeam laminated with the light-activated shape memory polymer, which can realise the Young's modulus variation under the light exposure. Based on the modified couple stress theory, a size-dependent microbeam model is developed. The dynamic governing equation of the microbeam is derived according to the Hamilton principle and solved by the Galerkin method and Runge-Kutta method numerically. The reliability and accuracy of the… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
