On the modes and loss mechanisms of a high Q mechanical oscillator
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have performed laser-Doppler vibrometry measurements of the vibration of a double-paddle oscillator. Seven modes with principally out-of-plane motion have been identified. Their resonance frequencies and mode shapes are in excellent agreement with three-dimensional finite element simulations. We have found that the second antisymmetric torsional mode has exceptionally good vibration isolation of its mode shape. This explains its extremely small low temperature internal friction below 10 K (2310). By correlating the internal friction of each mode with features of their mode shapes, a criterion has been established to develop high Q oscillators. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1350599#

Low temperature study of loss mechanisms of mechanical oscillators
In order to understand the loss mechanism of mechanical oscillators in micro-electromechanical systems, we have studied the temperature dependence of the quality factor Q of a high Q silicon mechanical oscillator from 0.4 K to 300 K. At temperatures above 70 K, the energy loss is principally caused by thermoelastic effect in the flexural components of the modes. Below 50 K, we find the improvem...
متن کاملIdentification of Dynamic Damping Properties of a Flexible Structural Adhesive
In this paper dynamic damping properties of a nominated flexible structural adhesive have been identified using an extended-direct modal based joint identification method. It has been revealed that damping characteristics of adhesive are correlated to both frequency and mode shape. Young’s and shear moduli increase with frequency but damping on the other hand, decrease. The results showed that ...
متن کاملThe Lock-in Phenomenon in VIV using A Modified Wake Oscillator Model for both High and Low Mass-Damping Ratio
In the present paper the behavior of an elastically mounted cylinder in low and high mass-damping ratio is investigated. For high mass-damping ratio, a classical wake oscillator model is used. At the first, by neglecting all damping and nonlinear terms of this model, the possibility of using a linear model for determination of the lock-in range and the dominant mode is investigated. Then, w...
متن کاملUsing the Adaptive Frequency Nonlinear Oscillator for Earning an Energy Efficient Motion Pattern in a Leg- Like Stretchable Pendulum by Exploiting the Resonant Mode
In this paper we investigate a biological framework to generate and adapt a motion pattern so that can be energy efficient. In fact, the motion pattern in legged animals and human emerges among interaction between a central pattern generator neural network called CPG and the musculoskeletal system. Here, we model this neuro - musculoskeletal system by means of a leg - like mechanical system cal...
متن کاملComprehensive Electromechanical Analysis of MEMS Variable Gap Capacitors
This paper presents a comprehensive case study on electro-mechanical analysis of MEMS[1] variable capacitors. Using the fundamental mechanical and electrical equations, static and dynamic behaviors of the device are studied. The analysis is done for three different modes, namely: dc (static mode), small signal ac and large signal regime. A complete set of equations defining dynamic behavior of ...
