Abstract
This paper presents an analytical model based on the basis finite element analysis to solve the nonlinear behavior of double-cantilever structure. The structure beam is replaced with a series of beam elements by traditional finite element method. The deformation curve of the beam is calculated by gradually loading voltage in small increments, and pull-in behavior is identified when the convergence of the deflection iteration cannot be achieved after voltage increment. This method considers the effect of deformation on stiffness by establishing a new equivalent stiffness matrix for each voltage step on the basis of the results of previous steps. Through this approach, we prevent the approximate errors of the stiffness matrix from accumulating. The analytical results show good agreement with those obtained by using multiphysics coupling software.
