Parametric Resonance in Microcantilevers with Application in Mass Sensing
1.1 Characteristic phase dependance between direct forcing and parametric amplified forcing phase. Plotted is gain vs. phase at resonance for a 2.1 Simulated response of a parametrically resonant system under two driving conditions. The drive signal is shifted by pi-radians. The physical response, displacement is plotted here, is identical as driven by the two signals. Thus, phase shifting the ...
متن کاملSensing surface PEGylation with microcantilevers
Polymers are often used to modify surface properties to control interfacial processes. Their sensitivity to solvent conditions and ability to undergo conformational transitions makes polymers attractive in tailoring surface properties with specific functionalities leading to applications in diverse areas ranging from tribology to colloidal stability and medicine. A key example is polyethylene g...
متن کاملSynchronization of coupled self-excited elastic beams
The behavior of four coupled self-excited elastic beams is numerically studied using the finite-difference method. Self-excitation is modeled by adding a van der Pol damping term. Coupling based on shared boundary conditions at the roots of the beams is proposed, and the influence of the coupling on the dynamics is analyzed. Time and space correlation coefficients are employed to measure the de...
متن کاملHigher modes of vibration increase mass sensitivity in nanomechanical microcantilevers
We evaluated the potential and limitations of resonating nanomechanical microcantilevers for the detection of mass adsorption. As a test system we used mass addition of gold layers of varying thickness. Our main findings are: (1) A linear increase in mass sensitivity with the square of the mode number—a sensitivity increase of two orders of magnitude is obtained from mode 1 to mode 7 with a min...
متن کاملFriction Force for Self-Excited Systems
Control and reduction of friction is one of the last frontier in the field of tribology. This paper presents a model for low friction made up of a self-excited oscillator sliding along a periodic potential. Many examples of such self-excited oscillators in electrical, mechanical and biological systems can be found in literature. As one of its most prominent features, stable limit cycles in phas...
