Abstract

Pull-in instability, as an inherent nonlinear problem, continues to become an increasingly important and interesting topic in the design of electrostatic Nano/Micro-electromechanical systems (N/MEMS) devices. Generally, the pull-in instability was studied in a continuous space, but when the electronic devices work in a porous medium, they need to be analyzed in a fractal partner. In this paper, we establish a fractal model for N/MEMS, and find a pull-in stability plateau, which can be controlled by the porous structure, and the pull-in instability can be finally converted to a stable condition. As a result, the pull-in instability can be completely eliminated, realizing the transformation of pull-in instability into pull-in stability.
