Fast identification of the pull-in voltage of a nano/micro-electromechanical system

Abstract

The pull-in voltage is crucial in designing an optimal nano/micro-electromechanical system (N/MEMS). It is vital to have a simple formulation to calculate the pull-in voltage with relatively high accuracy. Two simple and effective methods are suggested for this purpose; one is an ancient Chinese algorithm and the other is an extension of He’s frequency formulation.
