Theoretical and experimental investigation of the nonlinear response of an electrically actuated imperfect microbeam

In this study a theoretical and experimental investigation of the nonlinear response of an electrically actuated microbeam is performed. A mechanical model is proposed, which accounts for two common imperfections of microbeams, due to microfabrications, which are the compliant support conditions and...
