| Abstract | In this work, we investigate dynamic pull-in in MEMS devices actuated with a DC voltage superimposed to an AC harmonic voltage. We focus on the role of the AC frequency and amplitude in triggering instabilities. Dynamic pull-in is treated here in the context of a broader concept in nonlinear dynamics, which is the escape-from-potential-well phenomenon. The escape is defined where, for specific AC frequency and amplitude, the system exhibits the pull-in instability. We investigate dynamic pull-in experimentally in a polysilicon microcantilever beam, a cantilever and clamped-clamped microbeams made of gold, and a capacitive accelerometer. It is found experimentally that, despite the differences in their structures, the tested devices exhibit similar escape behavior near their fundamental natural frequency (primary resonance). A series of experiments are conducted using the capacitive accelerometer to study the effect of pressure (damping), excitation amplitude and frequency, resonance type (primary and subharmonic at twice the device’s natural frequency), and sweeping type (sweeping the AC amplitude or sweeping the AC frequency) on the escape zones. It is found that, except for the sweeping type, these factors have significant effect on shaping the escape zones. A nonlinear lumped-parameter model is used to capture the dynamics of the capacitive accelerometer. A shooting method is utilized to predict the theoretical zones of inevitable escape, where it is impossible for a resonator to oscillate in a stable state. An attempt has been made to relate the inevitable escape bands to the pull-in bands measured experimentally. We found that both pull-in bands and inevitable escape bands are correlated. However, we concluded that experimental testing is still needed to estimate accurately the instability bounds of each electrostatically actuated resonator. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
