Abstract
The dynamics of the micro-cantilever with linearly varying width under electrostatic actuation is presented. The restraining displacement and voltage dissociating the unstable and stable operating region are determined by Bubnov-Galerkin approach. The influence of the variation in geometry of micro-beam and change in material parameters on the pull-in conditions is investigated. The increase of 24.27% is obtained in pull-in displacement when the tip width is reduced to 0.
