Bistability is one of the desirable features for a MEMS actuator to have in various applications such as mechanical memories, micro-relays, micro-valves, optical switches, digital micro-mirrors, etc. It allows withdrawal of actuation force during idle periods without affecting an actuated state of a
In this paper, shape optimization is used to regulate the vibrations of an Euler-Bernoulli beam having constant material volume. This is achieved by varying appropriately the beam cross-section and thus its stiffness and mass properties along its length, so that the beam vibrates with its minimum, m
