Estimates for the quenching time of a parabolic equation modeling electrostatic MEMS

چکیده
The singular parabolic problem ut = ∆u − λf(x) (1+u)2 on a bounded domain Ω of R with Dirichlet boundary conditions, models the dynamic deflection of an elastic membrane in a simple electrostatic Micro-Electromechanical System (MEMS) device. In this paper, we analyze and estimate the quenching time of the elastic membrane in terms of the applied voltage —represented here by λ. As a byproduct, we prove that for sufficiently large λ, finitetime quenching must occur near the maximum point of the varying dielectric permittivity profile f(x).

The formation of finite time singularities in a nonlinear parabolic fourth order partial differential equation (PDE) is investigated for a variety of two-dimensional geometries. The PDE is a variant of a canonical model for Micro-Electro Mechanical systems (MEMS). The singularities are observed to form at specific points in the domain and correspond to solutions whose values remain finite but w...

Finite time singularity formation in a fourth order nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation (PDE) is analyzed. The PDE is a variant of a ubiquitous model found in the field of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and is studied on a one-dimensional (1D) strip and the unit disc. The solution itself remains continuous at the point of singularity while its higher derivatives diverge, a ...
