The third-order behavior

The size-dependent behavior of a silicon microbeam with an axial force in MEMS is studied using a nonlinear finite element procedure. Based on a refined thirdorder shear deformation theory and the modified couple stress theory (MCST), nonlinear differential equations of motion for the beam are derived from Hamilton’s principle, and they are transferred to a discretized form using a two-node beam element.
