Delayed pull-in transitions in overdamped MEMS devices
Michael Gomez, Derek E. Moulton, Dominic Vella
We consider the dynamics of overdamped MEMS devices undergoing the pull-in instability. Numerous previous experiments and numerical simulations have shown a significant increase in…

Passive control of viscous flow via elastic snap-through
Michael Gomez, Derek E. Moulton, Dominic Vella
We demonstrate the passive control of viscous flow in a channel by using an elastic arch embedded in the flow. Depending on the fluid flux, the arch may `snap' between two states -…
