Observation of pull-in instability in graphene membranes under interfacial forces.
We present a unique experimental configuration that allows us to determine the interfacial forces on nearly parallel plates made from the thinnest possible mechanical structures, single and few layer graphene membranes. Our approach consists of using a pressure difference across a graphene membrane to bring the membrane to within ~10-20 nm above a circular post covered with SiOx or Au until a c...
متن کاملDynamic and Static Pull-in instability of electrostatically actuated nano/micro membranes under the effects of Casimir force and squeezed film damping
In the current study, the effects of Casimir force and squeeze film damping on pull-in instability and dynamic behavior of electrostatically actuated nano and micro electromechanical systems are investigated separately. Linear elastic membrane theory is used to model the static and dynamic behavior of the system for strip, annular and disk geometries. Squeeze film damping is modeled using nonli...
متن کاملPull-In Instability and Vibrations of a Beam Micro-Gyroscope
Gyroscopes are used as rotation rate sensors. Conventional gyroscopes are heavy and bulky, which creates important problems regarding their usage in different applications. Micro-gyroscopes have solved these problems due to their small size. The beam micro-gyroscope is one of the popular types of inertial sensors. Their small dimensions and low energy consumption are key reasons for their popul...
متن کاملInterfacial instability in finite elqticity under initial stress
It is shown that two homogeneous elastic media of different rigidities adhering at a plane interface will become unstable at the surface of discontinuity when a certain critical magnitude of initial stress is attained. The general characteristic equation for the interfacial instability is derived for a general case of elastic anisotropy. The critical stress is evaluated as a function of the rig...
متن کاملDynamic Pull-in Instability of Nano-Actuators in the Presence of a Dielectric Layer
The natural frequency and pull-in instability of clamped-clamped nano-actuators in the presence of a dielectric layer are analyzed. The influence of the presence of Casimir force, electrostatic force, fringing field effect, axial force, stretching effects and the size effect are taken into account. The governing equation of the dynamic response of the actuator is transformed in a non-dimensiona...
