Numerical and Analytical Study on the Pull-in Instability of Micro-Structure under Electrostatic Loading [PDF]
The one-mode analysis method on the pull-in instability of micro-structure under electrostatic loading is presented. Taylor series are used to expand the electrostatic loading term in the one-mode analysis method, which makes analytical solution ...

Pull-in and wrinkling instabilities of electroactive dielectric actuators [PDF]
We propose a model to analyse the insurgence of pull-in and wrinkling failures in electroactive thin films. We take into consideration both cases of voltage and charge control, the role of pre-stretch and the size of activated regions, which are all crucial factors in technological applications of electroactive polymers (EAPs).

Surface instabilities generated by a slider pulled across a granular bed
We report an instability of a slider slowly dragged at the surface of a granular bed in a quasistatic regime. The boat-shaped slider sits on the granular medium under its own weight and is free to translate vertically and to rotate around the pitch axis while a constant horizontal speed is imposed.

Snap-through and pull-in instabilities of an arch-shaped beam under an electrostatic loading [PDF]
The snap-through and pull-in instabilities of the micromachined arch-shaped beams under an electrostatic loading are studied both theoretically and experimentally. The pull-in instability that results in a system collision with an electrode substrate may
