Abstract
We present a technique for estimation of the model parameters for a single-mode vibration of symmetric micromechanical resonators, including the coefficients of conservative and dissipative nonlinearities. The nonlinearities result in an amplitude-dependent frequency and a nonexponential decay, which are characterized from the ringdown response. An analysis of the amplitude of the ringdown response allows one to estimate the linear damping constant and the dissipative nonlinearity, and the zero-crossing points in the ringdown measurement can be used for characterization of the linear natural frequency and the Duffing and quintic nonlinearities of the vibrational mode, which arise from a combination of mechanical and electrostatic effects.

Direct observation of coherent energy transfer in nonlinear micromechanical oscillators.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate a dissipation engineering strategy that can support stable oscillations without supplying external energy to compensate losses, by exploiting the nonlinear dynamic response of microelectromechanical oscillators to couple two vibrational modes through an internal resonance.

Anomalous Decay of Nanomechanical Modes Going Through Nonlinear Resonance.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated the possibility of a strongly nonmonotonic dependence of the decay rate on the amplitude if one of the modes serves as a thermal reservoir for another mode, so that their amplitude-dependent frequencies become commensurate.
