Abstract: The dynamical and stationary behaviors of a fourth-order equation in the unit ball with clamped boundary conditions and a singular reaction term are investigated. The equation arises in the modeling of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and includes a positive voltage parameter $lambda$. It is shown that there is a threshold value $lambd{a}_{\ast }>0$ of the voltage parameter such that no radially symmetric stationary solution exists for $lambda>lambd{a}_{\ast }$, while at least two such solutions exist for $lambdain(0,lambd{a}_{\ast })$. Local and global well-posedness results are obtained for the corresponding hyperbolic and parabolic evolution problems as well as the occurrence of finite time singularities when $lambda>lambd{a}_{\ast }$.
