Size-effects in time-dependent mechanics in metallic MEMS

Reliability of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) depends a.o. on time-dependent deformation such as creep and fatigue [1]. It is known from literature that this behavior is affected by size-effects: the interaction between microstructural length scales and dimensional length scales [2,3]. Not mu...
