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 von Kármán equations for the large deflection of plates are solved by the dynamic-relaxation method. Detailed results are presented for square plates having simply supported edges with zero in-plane boundary stresses. The results show that high stresses occur towards the corners of the plates. The mesh effect is investigated and recommendations are made for the optimum mesh spacing.
