We report a novel electrostatic self-excited resonator driven by DC voltage that achieves variable velocity-position characteristics via applying the pre-tension/pre-compression constraint. The resonator consists of a simply supported micro-beam, two plate electrodes, and two adjustable constraint bases, and it can be under pre-compression or pre-tension constraint by adjusting the distance L between two constraint bases (when beam length l > L, the resonator is under pre-compression and when l < L, it is under pre-tension). The oscillating velocity of the beam reaches the maximum value in the position around electrodes under the pre-compression constraint and reaches the maximum value in the middle position between two electrodes under the pre-tension condition. By changing the constraint of the microbeam, the position of the maximum velocity output of the oscillating beam can be controlled. The electrostatic self-excited resonator with a simple constraint structure under DC voltage has great potential in the field of propulsion of micro-robots, such as active rotation control of flapping wings.

AbstractThis work aims to study the influence of the rotation on a thermoelastic solid sphere in the context of the hyperbolic two-temperature generalized thermoelasticity theory based on the mechanical damage consideration. Therefore, a mathematical model of thermoelastic, homogenous, and isotropic solid sphere with a rotation based on the mechanical damage definition has been constructed. The governing equations have been written in the context of hyperbolic two-temperature generalized thermoelasticity theory. The bounding surface of the sphere is thermally shocked and without volumetric deformation. The singularities of the studied functions at the center of the sphere have been deleted using L’Hopital’s rule. The numerical results have been represented graphically with various mechanical damage values, two-temperature parameters, and rotation parameter values. The two-temperature parameter has significant effects on all the studied functions. Damage and rotation have a major impact on deformation, displacement, stress, and stress–strain energy, while their effects on conductive and dynamical temperature rise are minimal. The thermal and mechanical waves propagate with finite speeds on the thermoelastic body in the hyperbolic two-temperature theory and the one-temperature theory (Lord-Shulman model).
