Theoretical Prediction of Experimental Jump and Pull-In Dynamics in a MEMS Sensor

The present research study deals with an electrically actuated MEMS device. An experimental investigation is performed, via frequency sweeps in a neighbourhood of the first natural frequency. Resonant behavior is explored, with special attention devoted to jump and pull-in dynamics. A theoretical s...
