  Abstract: Micro Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) actuators experience pull-in effect in their actuation range. MEMS actuating elements are thin parallel plate capacitor electrodes separated with air gap. Parallel plate electrostatic micro actuators are known to have the pull-in effect, where electrostatic attractive force exceeds the mechanical restoring force of the suspending spring, and that the movable plate spontaneously pulled into physical contact with the opposite electrode. In our model the effect of …
