Curve veering and a parametric study of stiction in capacitive microelectromechanical systems subjected to electrostatic and Casimir forces

Curve veering is a phenomenon in which the plot of eigenvalues of a system against a system parameter sometimes results in curves that abruptly veer away from each other in a rapid but continuous manner at points where they are expected to intersect. For certain modes of vibration, the natural frequ...
