| Abstract | This paper is a continuation of [9], where we analyzed steady-states of the nonlinear parabolic problem $$u_{t} = \triangle u - \frac{\lambda f(x)}{(1+u)^{2}}$$ on a bounded domain Ω of $${\mathbb{R}}^{N}$$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions. This equation models a simple electrostatic Micro-Electromechanical System (MEMS) device consisting of a thin dielectric elastic membrane with boundary supported at 0 above a rigid ground plate located at –1. Here u is modeled to describe dynamic deflection of the elastic membrane. When a voltage–represented here by λ– is applied, the membrane deflects towards the ground plate and a snap-through (touchdown) may occur when it exceeds a certain critical value λ* (pull-in voltage), creating a so-called “pull-in instability” which greatly affects the design of many devices. In an effort to achieve better MEMS designs, the material properties of the membrane can be technologically fabricated with a spatially varying dielectric permittivity profile f(x). We show that when $${\rm \lambda} \leq {\rm \lambda}^{*}$$ the membrane globally converges to its unique maximal steady-state. On the other hand, if λ > λ* the membrane must touchdown at finite time T, and that touchdown cannot occur at a location where the permittivity profile vanishes. We establish upper and lower bounds on first touchdown times, and we analyze their dependence on f, λ and Ω by applying various analytical and numerical techniques. A refined description of MEMS touchdown profiles is given in a companion paper [10]. |

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.
