Mechanical behavior of an electrostatically actuated micropump

We present a model of an electrostatically actuated micropump employing an annular actuating member. The boundary-value problem describing the static deflection of the plate under the electrostatic force is solved numerically. The eigenvalue problem describing the vibration of the plate around the e...
