Abstrakt:

In this paper, the size-dependent nonlinear pull-in behavior of rectangular microplates made from functionally graded materials (FGMs) subjected to electrostatic actuation is numerically studied using a novel approach. The small scale effects are taken into account according to Mindlin’s first_order strain gradient theory (SGT). The plate model is formulated based on the first_order shear deformation theory (FSDT) using the virtual work principle. The size-dependent relations are derived in general form, which can be reduced to those based on different elasticity theories, including the modified strain gradient, modified couple stress and classical theories (MSGT, MCST and CT). The solution of the problem is arrived at by employing an efficient matrix-based method called the variational differential quadrature (VDQ). First, the quadratic form of the energy functional including the size effects is obtained. Then, it is discretized by the VDQ method using a set of matrix differential and integral operators. Finally, the achieved discretized nonlinear equations are solved by the pseudo arc-length continuation method. In the numerical results, the effects of material length scale parameters, side length-to-thickness ratio and FGM’s material gradient index on the nonlinear pull-in instability of microplates with different boundary conditions are investigated. A comparison is also made between the predictions by the MSGT, MCST and CT.
