โฆ Synopsis
When the dimensions decrease to nano-scale, many essential phenomena appear which are not important at macro scales. In this paper, two effects of these sub-micron phenomena are demonstrated and considered for simulation of pull-in instability of beam-type nano-actuator. The first phenomenon that becomes important at nano-distances is the presence of dispersion forces such as van der Waals attraction. The second effect that appears at nano scale is the size dependency of material characteristics. The obtained results agree well with numerical solution and other models in the literature.
