This paper presents a new design of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) based low-g accelerometer utilizing mode-localization effect in the three degree-of-freedom (3-DoF) weakly coupled MEMS resonators. Two sets of the 3-DoF mechanically coupled resonators are used on either side of the single proof mass and difference in the amplitude ratio of two resonator sets is considered as an output metric for the input acceleration measurement. The proof mass is electrostatically coupled to the perturbation resonators and for the sensitivity and input dynamic range tuning of MEMS accelerometer, electrostatic electrodes are used with each resonator in two sets of 3-DoF coupled resonators. The MEMS accelerometer is designed considering the foundry process constraints of silicon-on-insulator multi-user MEMS processes (SOIMUMPs). The performance of the MEMS accelerometer is analyzed through finite-element-method (FEM) based simulations. The sensitivity of the MEMS accelerometer in terms of amplitude ratio difference is obtained as 10.61/g for an input acceleration range of ±2 g with thermomechanical noise based resolution of 0.22 and nonlinearity less than 0.5%.

Abstract The free oscillations of a strongly nonlinear, discrete oscillator are examined by computing its “nonsimilar nonlinear normal modes.” These are motions represented by curves in the configuration space of the system, and they are not encountered in classical, linear vibration theory or in existing nonlinear perturbation techniques. For an oscillator with weak coupling stiffness and “mistiming,” both localized and nonlocalized modes are detected, occurring in small neighborhoods of “degenerate” and “global” similar modes of the “tuned” system. When strong coupling is considered, only nonlocalized modes are found to exist. An interesting result of this work is the detection of mode localization in the “tuned” periodic system, a result with no counterpart in existing theories on linear mode localization.

Abstract An investigation of the localization phenomenon in band/wheel systems is presented. The effects of tension disorder, interspan coupling, and translation speed on the confinement of the natural modes of free vibration are investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Two models of the band/wheel system dynamics are discussed; a simple model proposed by the authors [1] and a more complete model originally proposed by Wang and Mote [9]. The results obtained using the simple interspan coupling model reveal phenomena (i.e., eigenvalue crossings and veerings and associated mode localization) that are qualitatively similar to those featured by the more complex model of interspan coupling, thereby confirming the usefulness of the simple coupling model. The analytical predictions of the two models are validated by an experiment. A very good agreement between the experimental results and the theoretical ones for the simple model is observed. While both the experimental observations and the theoretical predictions show that a beating phenomenon takes place for ordered stationary and axially moving beams, beating is destroyed (indicating the occurrence of localization) when any small tension disorder is introduced especially for small interspan coupling (i.e., when localization is strongest).

The production of bladed structures, e.g. turbine and compressor wheels, is a subject of statistical scatter. The blades are designed to be identical but differ due to small manufacturing tolerances. This so called mistuning can lead to increased vibration amplitudes compared to the ideal tuned case. The object of this study is to create and validate numerical models to evaluate such mistuning effects of turbine wheels for automotive turbocharger applications. As a basis for the numerical analysis vibration measurements under stand-still conditions were carried out by using a laser surface velocimeter (LSV). The scope of this investigation was to identify the mistuning properties of the turbine wheels namely the frequency deviation from the ideal, cyclic symmetrical tuned system. Experimental modal analyses as well as blade by blade measurements were performed. Moreover 3D scanning techniques were employed to determine geometric deviations. Numerical FE models and a simplified multi degree of freedom model (EBM) were created to reproduce the measured mistuning effects. The prediction of mode localization and the calculated amplitude amplification were evaluated. The best results were obtained with a FE model that employs individual sectorial stiffnesses. The results also indicate that the major contribution to mistuning is made by material inhomogeneities and not by geometric deviations from ideal dimensions. With the adjusted FE model a probabilistic study has been performed to investigate the influence of the mistuning on the amplitude amplification factor. It has been found that at a certain level of mistuning the amplification factor remains constant or slightly decreases. By introducing intentional mistuning a lower sensitivity as well as a decrease of the amplitude amplification could be achieved.

Can-annular combustors consist of a set of independent cans, connected on the upstream side to the combustor plenum, and on the downstream side to the turbine inlet, where a transition duct links the round geometry of each can with the annular segment of the turbine inlet. Each transition duct is open on the sides towards the adjacent transition ducts, so that neighbouring cans are acoustically connected through a so called cross-talk open area. This theoretical, numerical and experimental work discusses the effect that this communication has on the thermoacoustic frequencies of the combustor. We show how this communication gives rise to axial and azimuthal modes, and that these correspond to particularly synchronised states of axial thermoacoustic oscillations in each individual can. We show that these combustors typically show clusters of thermoacoustic modes with very close frequencies and that a slight loss of rotational symmetry, e.g. a different acoustic response of certain cans, can lead to mode localization. We corroborate the predictions of azimuthal modes, clusters of eigenmodes and mode localization with experimental evidence.
