Pull-in Instability Behaviour of Nanoscale Actuators Using Nonlocal Elasticity Theory

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper modified the linear distributed load (LDL) model for cantilever nano-beams . A linear load model which suits boundary conditions was proposed to approximate with nonlinear intermolecular and electrostatic interactions. In the modified LDL model, under considerating the effect of the small scale, the pull-in instability behaviour of nano-actuators subjected to an electrostatic force and intermolecular force had been investigated. The results showed that the modified LDL model is more consistent with the actual situation than LDL model.
