In this work we numerically compute the bifurcation curve of stationary solutions for the free boundary problem for MEMS in one space dimension. It has a single turning point, as in the case of the small aspect ratio limit. We also find a…
We consider a free boundary problem modeling electrostatic microelectromechanical systems. The model consists of a fourth-order damped wave equation for the elastic plate displacement which is coupled to an elliptic equation for the…
We consider a nonlocal parabolic model for a micro-electro-mechanical system. Specifically, for a radially symmetric problem with monotonic initial data, it is shown that the solution quenches, so that touchdown occurs in the device, in a…
A free boundary problem describing small deformations in a membrane based model of electrostatically actuated MEMS is investigated. The existence of stationary solutions is established for small voltage values. A justification of the widely…
Touchdown is shown to be the only possible finite time singularity that may take place in a free boundary problem modeling a three-dimensional microelectromechanical system. The proof relies on the energy structure of the problem and uses…
We study the quenching behavior for a semilinear heat equation arising in models of micro-electro mechanical systems (MEMS). The problem involves a source term with a spatially dependent potential, given by the dielectric permittivity…
This paper is concerned with the nonlinear elliptic problem $-\Delta u=\frac{\lambda }{(a-u)^2}$ on a bounded domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^N$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions. This problem arises from Micro-Electromechanical Systems…

In this article we address the regularity of stable solutions to semilinear elliptic equations $-\Delta u = f(u)$ with MEMS type nonlinearities. More precisely, we will have $0\leq u \leq 1$ in a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ and…
This paper investigates the regularity of stable radial solutions to semilinear elliptic equations arising in MEMS problems, modeled by the Dirichlet problem $-\Delta u=f(u)$ in the unit ball $B_1$, where the nonlinearity $f\in C^1([0,1))$…
We consider the fourth order problem $\Delta^{2}u=\lambda f(u)$ on a general bounded domain $\Omega$ in $R^{n}$ with the Navier boundary condition $u=\Delta u=0$ on $\partial \Omega$. Here, $\lambda$ is a positive parameter and $…

In this paper for all $p>1$ we prove that the pull-in voltage of the $p$-MEMS (micro-electro mechanical systems) problems on a smooth bounded domain of $\mathbb R^{d}, d\geq1,$ is minimized by symmetrizing the domain and the permittivity…
Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be a $C^2$ bounded domain and $\chi>0$ be a constant. We will prove the existence of constants $\lambda_N\ge\lambda_N^{\ast}\ge\lambda^{\ast}(1+\chi\int_{\Omega}\frac{dx}{1-w_{\ast}})^2$ for the nonlocal MEMS…
