Instabilities in Multiphysics Problems: Micro- and Nano-electromechanical Systems, and Heat-Conducting Thermoelastoviscoplastic Solids
We investigate (i) pull-in instabilities in a microelectromechanical (MEM) beam due to the Coulomb force and in MEM membranes due to the Coulomb and the Casimir forces, and (ii) thermomechanical instability in a heat-conducting thermoelastoviscoplastic solid due to thermal softening overcoming harde...
