Dynamic pull-in instability of geometrically nonlinear actuated micro-beams based on the modified couple stress theory

This paper investigates the dynamic pull-in instability of vibrating micro-beams undergoing large deflection under electrosatically actuation. The governing equation of motion is derived based on the modified couple stress theory. Homotopy Perturbation Method is employed to produce the high accuracy...
