Modeling and Simulations of Collapse Instabilities of Microbeams due to Capillary Forces

Figure 3

The normalized maximum deflection of the doubly clamped microbeam versus the normalized liquid distribution using the ROM for different number of modes. In the figure, a symmetric distribution for the liquid is assumed (𝑥₁=𝑥₂). Here 𝛼₁=3.71 and 𝛼₂=220.6.
