Nonlinear Dynamics of Annular and Circular Plates Under Thermal and Electrical Loadings

The nonlinear static and dynamic response of circular and annular plates under electrostatic, thermal, and combined loading is investigated. The main motivation for the study of these phenomena is providing fundamental insights into the mechanics of micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS). MEMS devi...
