Abstract

Pull-in effect always occurs in a micro-electromechanical system, and its pull-in analysis is essential for the normal operation. This paper aims at studying the environment effect on the pull-in instability, especially the nano/micro particles in air. A fractal model is established using a fractal derivative, and the pull-in instability can be converted into a novel state of pull-in stability when the fractal dimension tends to be very small.
