Dynamic Analysis of Cracked Cantilever, Electrostatic Microactuators Using Radial Basis Functions

The dynamic problems of a microactuator with a single edge crack are numerically formulated using radial basis functions. The microactuator model incorporates the taper ratio, electrode shapes, and crack length, all of which govern the dynamic behavior of microactuators. To optimize the design of a...
