Stability analysis of FGM microgripper subjected to nonlinear electrostatic and temperature variation loadings

Considering the desired characteristics of functionally gradient materials (FGM), such as good thermal and wear resistance, this paper investigates the mechanical behavior of FGM microgripper under DC voltage and temperature variation. It is assumed that the two microbeams of the FGM microgripper ar...
