Abstract This work deals with amplitude frequency response of MEMS cantilever resonators undergoing superharmonic resonance of third order. The cantilever resonator is parallel to a ground plate and under alternating current (AC) voltage that excites the cantilever into vibrations. The driving frequency of the AC voltage is near one sixth of the first natural frequency of the cantilever beam resulting into superharmonic resonance of third order. The cantilever beam is modeled using Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. The electrostatic force is modeled using Palmer’s formula to include the fringe effect. In order to investigate the amplitude frequency behavior of the system reduced order models (ROMs) are developed. Three methods are used to solve these ROMs they are 1) the method of multiple scales (MMS) for ROM with one mode of vibration, 2) homotopy analysis method (HAM) for ROM with one mode of vibration, and 3) direct numerical integration for 2 modes of vibration Reduced Order Model (2T ROM) producing time responses of the tip of the cantilever resonator. In this work the limitations of MMS and HAM are highlighted when considering large voltage values i.e hard excitations. For large voltage values MMS and HAM cannot accurately predict the amplitude frequency response; the results from 2T ROM time responses disagree significantly with the MMS and HAM solutions. The effect of voltage on the frequency response is investigated. As the voltage values in the system increase the responses shift to lower frequencies and larger amplitudes.

The half power method is a technique commonly used for calculating the system damping using frequency response curves. Past derivations typically assume a small damping ratio but do not keep track of the order of magnitude when simplifying results and focus mainly on displacement frequency response curves. This paper provides two separate and rigorous derivations of the half power bandwidth for displacement and acceleration frequency response functions. The exact expressions are simplified systematically using binomial expansions to include third order effects. The third order and classical approximations are compared with the exact expressions, and the truncation errors are presented for both displacement and acceleration cases. The high order effects are more apparent and the truncation errors are greater for the acceleration case. The classical method is sufficiently accurate for many practical cases where the damping ratio is less than 0.1 but higher order corrections may be used to reduce truncation error for systems where the damping ratio is higher.

Problems. It is noted that the measurement of low-intensity microwave signals of various physical bodies and biological objects is associated with the need to provide high sensitivity, which can reach 10-14 -10-15 watts. The authors of the article studied the selective (selective) filter-amplifier of the switching frequency of the high-sensitivity modulation radiometer as one of the elements that have a significant impact on the sensitivity and accuracy of measurement, and developed recommendations for improving the stability of its parameters. The purpose of the research. The peculiarities of the modulation radiometer conversion channel operation are considered and the role of the selective switching frequency amplifier in providing such sensitivity is determined. The input and output signals of the selective amplifier, their relationship and the effect on the sensitivity of the radiometer were obtained and analyzed. The necessity of application of compensation of influence of temperature on characteristics of the filter taking into account temperature coefficients of elements of the scheme is proved. Conclusions. Modeling of a selective amplifier with a third-order filter was performed, the amplitude-frequency characteristic and the zone of its possible displacement at the maximum operating temperature were obtained. The structural and schematic diagram of the selective amplifier with automatic consideration of temperature influences, due to the introduction of feedback and correction of the frequency response of the filter has been developed. The main parameters of the bandpass filter built on the feedback circuit are determined. The use of a field-effect transistor channel connected in series with the resistors of the frequency-forming circuits of the third-order filter is proposed as an element of frequency response correction. The technical requirements for modeling and development of a selective amplifier are determined, which provide opportunities for implementation in practice. The research can be used to build a highly sensitive radiometric system for measuring low-intensity signals in areas such as biology and medicine.

Abstract This paper deals with the frequency response of superharmonic resonance of order three of electrostatically actuated MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) circular plate resonators. The MEMS structure in this work consists of an elastic circular microplate parallel to an electrode ground plate. The microplate is elelctrostatically actuated through an AC voltage between the microplate and the ground plate. The voltage is in the category of hard excitations. The AC frequency is near one sixth of the natural frequency of the resonator. Since the electrostatic force acting on the resonator is proportional to the square of the voltage, it leads to superharmonic resonance of third order. Besides the electrostatic force, the system experiences damping. The damping force in this work is proportional to the velocity of the resonator, i.e. it is linear damping. Three methods are employed in this investigation. First, the Method of Multiple Scales (MMS), a perturbation method, is used predictions of the resonant regions for weak nonlinearities and small to moderate amplitudes. Second, the Reduced Order Model (ROM) method using two modes of vibration are also utilized to investigate the resonance. ROM is solved numerically integrated using Matlab in order to simulate time responses of the structure, and third, the ROM is used to predict the frequency response using AUTO, a software for continuation and bifurcation analysis. All methods are in agreement for moderate nonlinearities and small to moderate amplitudes. For relatively large amplitudes, when compared to the gap between the microplate and the ground plate, ROM more accurately predicts the behavior of the system. Effects of the parameters of the system on the frequency response are reported.

In this paper, relying on the Volterra series nonlinear system model and the high-order kernel Hilbert’s reconstructed kernel fast solved algorithm, a fault feature frequency domain identification method based on Volterra high-order kernel generalized frequency response graph analysis is proposed. Firstly, the method uses the system input and output vibration signals to determine the Volterra model. Then, the Volterra high-order kernel function is solved quickly by reproducing kernel Hilbert space method, and the generalized frequency response function is used to identify the model. Finally, multidimensional high-order spectral pattern analysis is used to separate and extract the fault and degree characteristic information implied by frequency and phase coupling in the third-order kernel function. Following the theoretical approach, in the experimental part, this paper uses the planetary gearbox fault loading test rig to complete the data collection and establishes the Volterra experimental model through the measured data. The generalized frequency responses of each order kernel function are compared and analyzed and the capability of distinguishing and the adaptability of different order kernel functions for the degree of crack failure are discussed. The effects of changing the memory length of the Volterra model and the order of the kernel function on the recognition result are verified. The final experimental results show that the use of reproducing kernel Hilbert space can effectively avoid the dimension disaster problem that occurs in the high-order kernel solution process. Moreover, the third-order kernel can describe more intuitively the nonlinear system model under multifactor coupling than the second-order kernel. Finally, Volterra series model the third-order kernel’s generalized frequency response can effectively distinguish between nondefective and faulty gears, and its resolution is enough to distinguish the degree of failure of gear cracks.

A small electron probe has many applications in many fields and in the case of the STEM, the probe size essentially determines the ultimate resolution. However, there are many difficulties in obtaining a very small probe.Spherical aberration is one of them and all existing probe forming systems have non-zero spherical aberration. The ultimate probe radius is given byδ = 0.43Csl/4ƛ3/4where ƛ is the electron wave length and it is apparent that δ decreases only slowly with decreasing Cs. Scherzer pointed out that the third order aberration coefficient always has the same sign regardless of the field distribution, provided only that the fields have cylindrical symmetry, are independent of time and no space charge is present. To overcome this problem, he proposed a corrector consisting of octupoles and quadrupoles.

As a general index of language development, the recall of first through fourth order approximations to English was examined in four, five, six, and seven year olds and adults. Data suggested that recall improved with age, and increases in approximation to English were accompanied by increases in recall for six and seven year olds and adults. Recall improved for four and five year olds through the third order but declined at the fourth. The latter finding was attributed to deficits in semantic structures and memory processes in four and five year olds. The former finding was interpreted as an index of the development of general linguistic processes.
