Journal ArticleDOI
Five parametric resonances in a microelectromechanical system
Kimberly L. Turner,Scott A. Miller,Scott A. Miller,Peter G. Hartwell,Noel C. MacDonald,Steven H. Strogatz,Scott G. Adams +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report parametrically excited torsional oscillations in a single-crystal silicon microelectromechanical system, which can provide a unique testing ground for dynamical phenomena that are difficult to detect in macroscopic systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and Modeling of a High-Speed AFM-Scanner
Georg Schitter,Karl Johan Åström,Barry E. DeMartini,Philipp J. Thurner,Kimberly L. Turner,Paul K. Hansma +5 more
TL;DR: A second- and a fourth-order mathematical model of the scanner are derived that allow new insights into important design parameters and the performance of the new AFM is demonstrated by imaging a calibration grating and a biological sample at 8 frames/s.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of cubic nonlinearity on auto-parametrically amplified resonant MEMS mass sensor
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of nonlinearity on the behavior of parametric resonance of a micro-machined oscillator were investigated. And the authors showed that the nonlinearities (electrostatic and mechanical) have a large impact on the dynamic response of the structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
A batch fabricated biomimetic dry adhesive
TL;DR: In this article, the first batch fabricated multi-scale conformal system to mimic nature's dry adhesive was reported, which makes use of massively parallel MEMS processing technology to produce 20-150 µm platforms, supported by single slender pillars, and coated with organic looking polymer nanorods, or "organorods".
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear Dynamics and Its Applications in Micro- and Nanoresonators
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of the fundamental research on nonlinear behaviors arising in micro/nanoresonators, including direct and parametric resonances, parametric amplification, impacts, selfexcited oscillations, and collective behaviors, which arise in coupled resonator arrays.
