Abstract: Abstract In this paper we study the behavior of two buckled beams when they are pushed toward each other. The elastica model is adopted in the theoretical formulation. In the early stage, the buckled beams… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/mi13050654
Abstract: MEMS actuators rely on the deformation of silicon structures. Using dimensions smaller than dozens of micrometers reveals that the micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) actuators are affected by fabrication inaccuracies, leading to hardly predictable forces and/or actuation… read more here.
