Pull-in dynamics of overdamped microbeams
Michael Gomez, Dominic Vella, Derek E. Moulton
We study the dynamics of MEMS microbeams undergoing electrostatic pull-in. At DC voltages close to the pull-in voltage, experiments and numerical simulations have reported `bottlen…

Dynamics of viscoelastic snap-through
Michael Gomez, Derek E. Moulton, Dominic Vella
We study the dynamics of snap-through when viscoelastic effects are present. To gain analytical insight we analyse a modified form of the Mises truss, a single-degree-of-freedom st…
