Investigation of the Pull-in Phenomenon in Drug Delivery Micropump Using Galerkin Method

In this paper, the pull-in phenomenon of an electrostatically actuated circular micropump which is used in drug delivery systems was investigated. The “pull-in” or divergence instability in electrostatically actuated micro electromechanical systems presents a ubiquitous challenge in MEMS technology...
