A periodic homogenization model of the electrostatic equation is constructed for a comb drive with a large number of fingers and whose mode of operation is in-plane and longitudinal. The model is obtained in the case where the distance between the rotor and the stator is of an order $arepsilon^{alpha}$, $alpha geq 2$, where $arepsilon$ denotes the period of distribution of the fingers. The model derivation uses the two-scale convergence technique. Strong convergences are also established. This allows us to find, after a proper scaling, the limit of the electrostatic force applied to the rotor in the longitudinal direction.

Abstract
A periodic homogenization model of the electrostatic equation is constructed for a comb drive with a large number of fingers and whose mode of operation is in-plane and longitudinal. The model is obtained in the case where the distance between the rotor and the stator is of an order $arepsilon^{alpha}$, $alpha geq 2$, where $arepsilon$ denotes the period of distribution of the fingers. The model derivation uses the two-scale convergence technique. Strong convergences are also established. This allows us to find, after a proper scaling, the limit of the electrostatic force applied to the rotor in the longitudinal direction.File in questo prodotto:
