In order to investigate the effects of geometric imperfections on the static and dynamic behavior of capacitive micomachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs), the governing equations of motion of a circular microplate with initial defection have been derived using the von Kármán plate theory while taking into account the mechanical and electrostatic nonlinearities. The partial differential equations are discretized using the differential quadrature method (DQM) and the resulting coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are solved using the harmonic balance method (HBM) coupled with the asymptotic numerical method (ANM). It is shown that the initial deflection has an impact on the static behavior of the CMUT by increasing its pull-in voltage up to 45%. Moreover, the dynamic behavior is affected by the initial deflection, enabling an increase in the resonance frequencies and the bistability domain and leading to a change of the frequency response from softening to hardening. This model allows MEMS designers to predict the nonlinear behavior of imperfect CMUT and tune its bifurcation topology in order to enhance its performances in terms of bandwidth and generated acoustic power while driving the microplate up to 80% beyond its critical amplitude.

Abstract Motor shaft is one of the most important parts of motor, which is widely used in industrial field. The straightness of the shaft has a potentially significant effect on motor performance, which is determined by the straightening process in the manufacturing process of the shaft. Considering the grooved characteristics on the micro-motor shaft and using the classical material mechanics principle, the stress and deformation models of the circular shaft with the grooves during the straightening process are established in this paper. By deriving the straighttening stroke-initial deflection model, an accurate and practical relationship between the straightening stroke and the initial deflection was provided. In order to verify the theoretical straightening model, some grooved shaft specimens are designed and manufactured for the straightening experiments. Through the simulation and experimental research, the straightening stroke-initial deflection model for the micro-motor shaft is compared and analyzed, and the correctness and feasibility of the model is verified.

Motions near the 3:1, 4:1 and 5:2 resonances with Jupiter are studied by means of numerical integrations of a semi-analytically averaged Sun-Jupiter-asteroid planar problem. In order to have a model including the very-high-eccentricity regions of the phase space, we adopted a set of local expansions of the disturbing potential, adequate to perform the numerical exploration of regions in the phase space with eccentricities higher than 0.9 (Ferraz-Mello and Klafke, 1991). Individual solutions and qualitative results thus obtained are completely reproduced by numerical integration of the complete equations by filtering off the short-period components of these solutions.
