Influence of Damping on the Dynamical Behavior of the Electrostatic Parallel-plate and Torsional Actuators with Intermolecular Forces

The influence of damping on the dynamical behavior of the electrostaticparallel-plate and torsional actuators with the van der Waals (vdW) or Casimir force(torque) is presented. The values of the pull-in parameters and the number of theequilibrium points do not change whether there is damping or not...
