Modeling and simulation of MEMS devices is a very complex tasks which involve the electrical, mechanical, fluidic, and thermal domains, and there are still some uncertainties that need to be accounted for during the robust design of MEMS actuators caused by uncertain material and/or geometric parameters. According to these problems, we put forward stochastic model order reduction method under random input conditions to facilitate fast time and frequency domain analyses; the method makes use of polynomial chaos expansions in terms of the random input variables for the matrices of a finite element model of the system and then uses its transformation matrix to reduce the model; the method is independent of the MOR algorithm, so it is seamlessly compatible with MOR method used in popular finite element solvers. The simulation results verify the method is effective in large scale MEMS design process.

To reduce the computational effort using polynomial chaos expansion to predict the dynamic characteristics of structures with several uncertain parameters, hybrid techniques combining stochastic finite element analysis with either deterministic or stochastic model order reduction (MOR) are developed. For the deterministic MOR, the Arnoldi-based Krylov subspace technique is implemented to reduce the system matrices of the finite element model. For the stochastic MOR, a stochastic reduced basis method is implemented in which the structural modal and frequency responses are approximated by a small number of basis vectors using stochastic Krylov subspace. To demonstrate the computational efficiency of each reduced stochastic finite element model, variability in the natural frequencies and frequency responses of a simply supported flexible plate randomized by uncertain geometrical and material parameters is examined. Results are compared with both Monte Carlo (MC) simulations and nonreduced stochastic models. Using the reduced models, the effects of the individual uncertain parameters as well as the combined uncertainties on the dynamic characteristics of the plate are examined.
