A Semi-Analytical Model for Calculating Touch-Point Pressure and Pull-in Voltage for Clamped Diaphragms with Residual Stress

A closed form model for evaluating touch point pressure and pull-in voltage of clamped square diaphragm with residual stress is proposed. Square diaphragms are used in numerous applications. The design parameters for all these structures are pull-in voltage and/or touchpoint pressure. The materials...
