On the dynamic pull-in instability in a mass-spring model of electrostatically actuated MEMS devices
Gilberto Flores
In this work we study the mass-spring system \begin{equation} \ddot x + α\dot x + x = - \fracλ {(1+x)^{2}}, \label{e:inertia} \end{equation} which is a simplified model for an elec…

A numerical study of the pull-in instability in some free boundary models for MEMS
Gilberto Flores, Noel F. Smyth
In this work we numerically compute the bifurcation curve of stationary solutions for the free boundary problem for MEMS in one space dimension. It has a single turning point, as i…
