This paper deals with electrostatically actuated nanoelectromechanical (NEMS) cantilever resonators. The dynamic behavior is described by a second order partial differential equation. The NEMS cantilever resonator device is actuatedby an AC voltage resulting in a vibrating motion of the cantilever. At nano scale, squeeze film damping, Casimir force, and fringing effects significantly influence the dynamic behavior or the cantilever beam. The second order partial differential equation is solved using the Reduced Order Model (ROM) method. The resulting time dependent second order differential equations system is then transformed into a first order differential equations system. Numerical simulations were conducted using Matlab solver ode15s.

A partial differential equation of physics may be defined as a linear second-order equation which is derivable from a Hamiltonian Principle by means of the methods of the Calculus of Variations. This principle states that the actual course of events in a physical problem is such that it gives to a certain integral a stationary value.

This paper deals with the voltage response of electrostatically actuated NEMS resonators at superharmonic resonance. In this work a comparison between Boundary Value Problem (BVP) model, and Reduced Order Model (ROM) is conducted for this type of resonance. BVP model is developed from the partial differential equation by replacing the time derivatives with finite differences. So, the partial differential equation is replaced by a sequence of boundary value problems, one for each step in time. Matlab’s function bvp4c is used to numerically integrate the BVPs. ROMs are based on Galerkin procedure and use the mode shapes of the resonator as a basis of functions. Therefore, the partial differential equation is replaced by a system of differential equations in time. The number of the equations in the system is equal to the number of mode shapes (or modes of vibration) used in the ROM. One mode of vibration ROM is solved using the method of multiple scales. Two modes of vibration ROM is numerically integrated using Matlab’s function ode15s in order to obtain time responses, and a continuation and bifurcation analysis is conducted using AUTO 07P. The effects of different nonlinearities in the system on the voltage response are reported. This work shows that BVP model is a valid method to predict the voltage response of a micro/nano cantilevers.

Riemann's method of solution of a linear second order partial differential equation of hyperbolic type was introduced in his memoir on sound waves. It has been used by Darboux in discussing the equationwhere α, β, γ are functions of x and y.

Abstract For the boundary value problem (BVP) of a second-order partial differential equation on a plane triangle area, we propose a new algorithm based on the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) combined with a segmented technique. In addition, we present a new theorem that ensures the convergence of the algorithm. By this algorithm, the model for the effect of regional recharge on the plane triangle groundwater flow region is solved, from which we obtain the segmented exact solution of the problem, which satisfies the governing equation and all of the specified boundary conditions. Then, by the algorithm combined with Taylor’s formula, the heterogeneous aquifer model on the plane triangle groundwater flow region is considered, from which we obtain the segmented high-precision approximate solution of the problem.
