This paper deals with Casimir and van der Waals effects on the frequency response of parametric resonance of electrostatically actuated NEMS circular plates for bio-sensing applications. The bio-NEMS resonator consists of a clamped circular elastic plate over a fixed electrode plate. A soft AC voltage of frequency near natural frequency between the plates gives an electrostatic force that leads the elastic plate into vibration which leads to parametric resonance that can be used afterwards for biosensing purposes. Frequency response and the effects of Casimir, and van der Waals forces on the response are reported.

Abstract In this paper, the Method of Multiple Scales, and the Reduced Order Model method of two modes of vibration are used to investigate the amplitude-frequency response of parametric resonance of electrostatically actuated circular plates under hard excitations. Results show that the Method of Multiple Scales is accurate for low voltages. However, it starts to separate from the Reduced Order Model results as the voltage values are larger. The Method of Multiple Scales is good for low amplitudes and weak non-linearities. Furthermore the Reduced Order Model running with AUTO 07p is validated and calibrated using the 2 Term ROM time responses.

Abstract This paper investigates the frequency-amplitude response of electrostatically actuated Bio-MEMS clamped circular plates under superharmonic resonance of fourth order. The system consists of an elastic circular plate parallel to a ground plate. An AC voltage between the two plates will lead to vibrations of the elastic plate. Method of Multiple Scales, and Reduced Order Model with two modes of vibration are the two methods used in this work. The two methods show similar amplitude-frequency response, with an agreement in the low amplitudes. The difference between the two methods can be seen for larger amplitudes. The effects of voltage and damping on the amplitude-frequency response are reported. The steady-state amplitudes in the resonant zone increase with the increase of voltage and with the decrease of damping.

Amplitude Frequency Response

This paper deals with amplitude-frequency response of electrostatic nanotube nanotweezer device system. Soft alternating current (AC) of frequency near natural frequency actuates the nanotubes. This leads the system into parametric resonance. The Method of Multiple Scales (MMS) in which the nonlinear electrostatic and van der Waals forces are expanded in Taylor series is used to compare two expansions, one up to third power and the other up to fifth power. The frequency response of the system is reported and the effects of van der Waals forces, electrostatic forces, and damping forces on the frequency response are investigated.

In this paper, the Method of Multiple Scales is used to investigate the influences of dimensionless damping and voltage parameters on the amplitude-frequency response of an electrostatically actuated double-walled carbon nanotube. The forces responsible for the nonlinearities in the vibrational behavior are intertube van der Waals and electrostatic forces. Soft AC excitation and small viscous damping forces are assumed. Herein, the noncoaxial case is investigated at near-zero amplitude conditions in the free vibration, which eliminates the influence of the cubic van der Waals in the first-order solution. The DWCNT structure is modelled as a cantilever beam with Euler-Bernoulli beam assumptions since the DWCNT is characterized with high length-diameter ratio. The results shown assume steady-state solutions in the first-order MMS solution. The importance of the results in this paper are the effect of damping and detuning frequency on the stability of the DWCNT vibration.

Abstract This paper deals with electrostatically actuated Double-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (DWCNT) and Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNT) cantilever resonators. Frequency response of parametric resonance is investigated. Euler-Bernoulli cantilever beam model is used for both DWCNT and SWCNT. Electrostatic and viscous damping forces are applied on both types of resonators, DWCNT and SWCNT. In this investigation, soft AC voltage excitation is assumed. For the DWCNT, an intertube van der Waals force is present between the two concentric carbon nanotubes (CNTs), coupling their motion and acting as a nonlinear spring. The nonlinearities in the vibration are provided by the electrostatic (both SWCNT and DWCNT) and intertube van der Waals forces (DWCNT). The Method of Multiple Scales (MMS) is a perturbation method that provides uniformly valid approximations for weakly nonlinear systems. A Reduced-Order-Model (ROM) is developed and numerically solved using AUTO-07P (bifurcation and continuation software). Since large tip deflections are investigated in this paper, only coaxial vibration of the DWCNT is considered. Parametric resonance is investigated, as well as the influences of damping and voltage. Lastly, the effect of intertube van der Waals force on the bifurcation and stability of the DWCNT is reported.

This paper investigates parametric resonance of electrostatically actuated MEMS circular plates for resonator sensing applications. The system consists of a clamped circular elastic plate over a ground plate. Soft AC voltage of frequency near natural frequency of the plate gives the electrostatic force that leads the elastic plate into vibration, more specifically into parametric resonance which can be used afterwards for biosensing purposes. Frequency response and corresponding bifurcations are reported. The effects of damping and voltage are predicted.

This paper deals with electrostatically actuated Double Walled Carbon Nanotubes (DWCNT) cantilevered resonators. The governing equations for the motion of the DWCNT are derived through Euler-Bernoulli beam model assumptions that account for inertial and viscoelastic effects. The DWCNT is a specific type of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) that is comprised of two coaxially concentric carbon nanotubes. Electrostatic, damping, and intertube van der Waals forces act on the outer tube of the DWCNT, while only intertube van der Waals force acts on the inner tube. A soft AC voltage provides the electrostatic actuation. The nonlinear behavior and phenomena in the system are provided by the electrostatic and intertube van der Waals forces. The DWCNT is subjected to nonlinear parametric dynamics. The Method of Multiple Scales (MMS) is employed to investigate the system under soft excitations and/or weak nonlinearities. The frequency-amplitude response is found in the case of parametric resonance. The resulting nonlinear dynamic behavior is important to improve DWCNT resonator sensitivity in the application of mass sensing.

This paper uses the Reduced Order Model (ROM) method to investigate the influence of nonlinearities from parametric electrostatic excitation due to soft AC voltage of frequency near half natural frequency of the MEMS cantilever resonator on its frequency response. Most of the analysis in literature investigates pull-in phenomenon, stability, amplitude–frequency relations, or finds time responses of such systems. In this work it is showed that the bifurcation points in the amplitude-frequency response occur at lower frequencies and amplitudes than predicted by the Method of Multiple Scales (MMS), a perturbation method. This result is extremely important for predicting pull-in phenomena. Also the ROM predicts pull-in instability for large initial amplitudes and AC frequencies less than half natural frequency of the resonator. MMS fails to predict this behavior. Increasing the damping and/or decreasing the voltage increases the frequency at which the system undergoes into a pull-in phenomenon.
