## Abstract In this work, a nonlinear model to predict actuation characteristics in lateral electrostaticallyβactuated DCβcontact MEMS switches is proposed. In this case a parallelβplate approximation cannot be applied. The model is based on the equilibrium equation for an elastic beam. It is demon
