Touchdown is shown to be the only possible finite time singularity that may take place in a free boundary problem modeling a three-dimensional microelectromechanical system. The proof relies on the energy structure of the problem and uses smoothing effects of the semigroup generated in by the bi-Laplacian with clamped boundary conditions.
Nous montrons que la désactivation est la seule singularité en temps fini pouvant se produire dans un problème à frontière libre décrivant un microsystème électromécanique tridimensionnel. La démonstration repose sur la structure variationnelle du modèle et utilise les propriétés régularisantes du semi-groupe engendré dans par le bi-Laplacien avec conditions aux bords encastrées.
