In this work, we study bifurcation in the von Kármán equations for a thin circular elastic plate which lies on the elastic base and is simply supported and subjected to a compressive force along the boundary. Applying analytical methods, we prove the existence of stable and unstable simple bifurcation points in the solution set of these equations.

Analytical modeling of capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) is one of the commonly used modeling methods and has the advantages of intuitive understanding of the physics of CMUTs and convergent when modeling of collapse mode CMUT. This review article summarizes analytical modeling of the collapse voltage and shows that the collapse voltage of a CMUT correlates with the effective gap height and the electrode area. There are analytical expressions for the collapse voltage. Modeling of the membrane deflections are characterized by governing equations from Timoshenko, von Kármán equations and the 2D plate equation, and solved by various methods such as Galerkin’s method and perturbation method. Analytical expressions from Timoshenko’s equation can be used for small deflections, while analytical expression from von Kármán equations can be used for both small and large deflections.

The energy of a Von Kármán circular plate is described by a nonlocal nonconvex one-dimensional functional depending on the thickness ε. Here we perform the asymptotic analysis via Γ-convergence as the parameter ε goes to zero.
