Amaterial formulation is in this paper proposed for the description of the electric energy within electrostatically actuated MEMS, yielding an approach that is applicable to the computation of electrostatic forces. Using the approach presented instead of the conventional spatial approach, the heavy task of the geometry update of the structure under consideration is avoided. The solution obtained from the material approach is compared to that of the spatial one through a fixed-free beam structure.
