...., large deformations), neglected in previous studies, as well as charge concentrations at the tip of singly clamped nanotubes, are investigated in detail. We show that nonlinear kinematics results in an important increase in the pull-in voltage of doubly clamped nanotube devices, but that it is negligible...

...N. Pugno; C. H. Ke; H. D. Espinosa In this paper, a nonlinear theory applicable to the design of nanotube based devices is presented. The role of finite kinematics for a doubly clamped nanotube device is investigated. In particular, we analyze the continuous deformation and instability (pull...
