| Abstract | Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) utilise time-variant capacitors as transducers in many applications. However, this kind of component can introduce harmonics and disturbances into the circuit with an AC power source, which is difficult to evaluate through closed-form solutions. This Letter proposes an iterative solution to analyse the dynamics of MEMS devices which contain a time-variant capacitor and an AC source. First, the expressions of the time-variant capacitor, AC source and their derivatives with respect to time are determined. Then, an initial solution that is sufficiently close to the actual solution is determined using linear circuit analysis. On the basis of the previous steps and the principles of the iterative method, an approximated solution combining the initial solution and its iteratively-derived higher-order terms is reached. Adding additional higher-order terms can improve the accuracy of the solution. A case study considering a MEMS device which has an AC power source and sinusoidal motion was performed using MATLAB Simulink. The simulation study further demonstrated that: (i) this iterative solution can effectively analyse the dynamics of MEMS devices with a time-variant capacitor and an AC power source; and (ii) computing additional higher-order terms derived from the initial solution can further improve the solution's accuracy. |

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.
