Abstract
Free axisymmetric vibrations of a stretched circular membrane are studied using a membrane theory consisting of a pair of non-linear partial differential equations coupled between the transverse and radial displacements of the membrane. A systematic perturbation method, in which the amplitude of the transverse displacement is taken as the perturbation parameter, is used to obtain periodic solutions of the non-linear equations. The initial membrane strain enters the problem as a parameter which is allowed to vary over a range of values. A case of self-resonance is encountered when the initial membrane strain approaches some critical values. This self-resonance case is also treated through an appropriate modification of the perturbation method.

Frequency tuning, nonlinearities and mode coupling in circular mechanical graphene resonators.

TL;DR: Using perturbation theory, it is shown that it is necessary to include the effects of the non-uniform stress distribution for finite deflections, which correctly reproduces the spectrum and frequency tuning of the resonator, including frequency crossings.

R.J. Dolleman
TL;DR: In this article, an absolute (atmospheric) pressure sensor and pressure difference (gage) sensor were developed and compared to existing measurements of similar devices or to numerical simulations, and it was concluded that these devices will not only be smaller and cheaper, but also have a larger bandwidth and less sensitivity to mechanical disturbances.
