Homotopy Analysis Method for Nonlinear Dynamical System of an Electrostatically Actuated Microcantilever

The homotopy analysis method (HAM) is employed to propose an approach for solving the nonlinear dynamical system of an electrostatically actuated micro-cantilever in MEMS. There are two relative merits of the presented HAM compared with some usual procedures of the HAM. First, a new auxiliary linear...
