These memory elements are today modeled as generic and extended memristors (MR), memcapacitors (MC), and meminductors (ML), which are more general versions of classical MR, MC, and ML from the infinite set of the fundamental elements of electrical engineering, known as Higher-Order Elements (HOEs). It turns out that models of many complex phenomena in MEMS cannot be constructed only from classical and state-dependent elements such as R, L, and C, but that other HOEs with generalized behavior should also be used. Thus, in this paper, generic and extended versions of HOEs are introduced, overcoming the existing limitation to MR, MC, and ML elements. The relevant circuit theorems are formulated, which generalize the well-known theorems of classical memory elements, and their application to model complex processes of various physical natures in MEMS is shown.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22208007","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,21]],"date-time":"2022-10-21T00:34:30Z","timestamp":1666312470000},"page":"8007","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Extended and Generic Higher-Order Elements for MEMS Modeling"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3055-4621","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zden\u011bk","family":"Biolek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Defence, 662 10 Brno, Czech Republic"},{"name":"Department of Microelectronics, Brno University of Technology, 616 00 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2589-2722","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Viera","family":"Biolkov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radio Electronics, Brno University of Technology, 616 00 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7607-6146","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dalibor","family":"Biolek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Defence, 662 10 Brno, Czech Republic"},{"name":"Department of Microelectronics, Brno University of Technology, 616 00 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7034-9430","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zden\u011bk","family":"Kolka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radio Electronics, Brno University of Technology, 616 00 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"507","DOI":"10.1109\/TCT.1971.1083337","article-title":"Memristor\u2014The missing circuit element","volume":"18","author":"Chua","year":"1971","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
