Description

The pull-in phenomenon of nanotube electromechanical switches as a fixed-fixed carbon nanotube suspended over a graphitic ground electrode is investigated. This model captures the geometric nonlinearity and stretching of nanotube caused by large deflection, and nonlinearity of electrostatic pressure with correction. The effects of radius and length of nanotube and the influence of initial gap is examined. The results calculated by full nonlinear Finite Difference method were compared with the results of Energy method and good agreement achieved
