This paper investigates electrostatically actuated Carbon Nano-Tubes (CNT) cantilevers biosensors using the Reduced Order Model (ROM) method. Forces acting on the CNT are electrostatic, damping, and van der Waals. The electrostatic actuation is given by soft AC voltage. Van der Waals forces are significant for gaps between the CNT and a ground plate lower than 100 nm. Both forces electrostatic and van der Waals are nonlinear. CNT undergoes nonlinear parametric dynamics. ROM is used to investigate the system under soft excitations and/or weak nonlinearities. The frequency-amplitude response is found in the case of primary resonance and compared to the Method of Multiple Scales (MMS). The CNT biosensor is to be used for mass detection applications.

This paper deals with electrostatically actuated Carbon Nano-Tubes (CNT) cantilevers using Reduced Order Model (ROM) method. Forces acting on the CNT cantilever are electrostatic, van der Waals, and damping. The van der Waals forces are significant for values of 50 nm or lower of the gap between the CNT and the ground plate. As both forces electrostatic and van der Waals are nonlinear, and the CNT electrostatic actuation is given by AC voltage, the CNT undergoes nonlinear parametric dynamics. The Method of Multiple Scales (MMS), and ROM are used to investigate the system under soft excitations and/or weak nonlinearities. The frequency-amplitude and frequency-phase behaviors are found in the case of parametric resonance.

This paper deals with electrostatically actuated Carbon Nano-Tubes (CNT) cantilevers using Reduced Order Model method. There are three kinds of forces acting on the CNT cantilever: electrostatic, elastostatic, and van der Waals. The van der Waals forces are significant for values of 50 nm or lower of the gap between the CNT and the ground plate. As both forceselectrostatic and van der Waals are nonlinear, and the CNT electrostatic actuation is given by AC voltage, the CNT undergoes nonlinear parametric dynamics. The Method of Multiple Scales (MMS), Reduced Order Model (ROM) and AUTO are used to investigate the system under soft excitations and/or weak nonlinearities. The frequency-amplitude and frequency-phase behaviors are found in the case of resonance near half natural frequency.

This paper deals with electrostatically actuated Carbon Nano-Tubes (CNT) cantilevers using Reduced Order Model method. The system consists of a CNT parallel to a ground plate. An alternating current (AC) voltage is considered between the two. The CNT undergoes an oscillatory motion due to the electrostatic force generated by the voltage. Another two forces act on the CNT, namely a damping force, and a van der Waals force due to gaps less than 50 nm. The Method of Multiple Scales (MMS) and the Reduced Order Model (ROM) method (using AUTO solver) are used to investigate the system under soft excitations and/or weak nonlinearities. The frequency response is found in the case of AC near half natural frequency.

Model Equations

In this paper, we investigate theoretically and experimentally the static and dynamic behaviors of electrostatically actuated clamped-clamped micromachined arches when excited by a DC load superimposed to an AC harmonic load. A Galerkin based reduced-order model is used to discretize the distributed-parameter model of the considered shallow arch. The natural frequencies of the arch are calculated for various values of DC voltages and initial rises of the arch. The forced vibration response of the arch to a combined DC and AC harmonic load is determined when excited near its fundamental natural frequency. For small DC and AC loads, a perturbation technique (the method of multiple scales) is also used. For large DC and AC, the reduced-order model equations are integrated numerically with time to get the arch dynamic response. The results show various nonlinear scenarios of transitions to snap-through and dynamic pull-in. The effect of rise is shown to have significant effect on the dynamical behavior of the MEMS arch. Experimental work is conducted to test polysilicon curved microbeam when excited by DC and AC loads. Experimental results on primary resonance and dynamic pull-in are shown and compared with the theoretical results.

There are three kinds of forces acting on the CNT cantilever: electrostatic, elastostatic, and van der Waals. The van der Waals forces are significant for values of 50 nm or lower of the gap between the CNT and the ground plate. As both forces electrostatic and van der Waals are nonlinear, and the CNT electrostatic actuation is given by AC voltage, the CNT dynamics is nonlinear parametric. The method of multiple scales is used to investigate the system under soft excitations and/or weakly nonlinearities.

This paper deals with electrostatically actuated Carbon Nano-Tubes (CNT) cantilevers for bio-sensing applications. Four forces act on the CNT cantilever, namely electrostatic, elastostatic, van der Waals, and damping. The van der Waals forces are significant for values of 50 nm or lower of the gap between the CNT and the ground plate. As both forces electrostatic and van der Waals are nonlinear, and the CNT electrostatic actuation is given by AC voltage, the CNT undergoes nonlinear parametric dynamics. The method of multiple scales (MMS) is used to investigate the system under soft excitations and/or weak nonlinearities. The frequency-amplitude and frequency-phase behavior are reported. The CNT bio-sensor is to be used for mass detection applications.

Abstract In this paper, the Method of Multiple Scales, and the Reduced Order Model method of two modes of vibration are used to investigate the amplitude-frequency response of parametric resonance of electrostatically actuated circular plates under hard excitations. Results show that the Method of Multiple Scales is accurate for low voltages. However, it starts to separate from the Reduced Order Model results as the voltage values are larger. The Method of Multiple Scales is good for low amplitudes and weak non-linearities. Furthermore the Reduced Order Model running with AUTO 07p is validated and calibrated using the 2 Term ROM time responses.

Abstract This paper deals with the frequency-amplitude response of primary resonance of electrostatically actuated Double-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (DWCNT) and Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNT) cantilever resonators. Their responses are compared. Both the DWCNT and SWCNT are modeled as Euler-Bernoulli cantilever beams. Electrostatic and damping forces are applied on both types of resonators. An AC voltage provides a soft electrostatic actuation. For the DWCNT, intertube van der Waals forces are present between the carbon nanotubes, coupling the deflections of the tubes and acting as a nonlinear spring between the two carbon nanotubes. Electrostatic (for SWCNT and DWCNT) and intertube van der Waals (for DWCNT) forces are nonlinear. Both resonators undergo nonlinear parametric excitation. The Method of Multiple Scales (MMS) is used to investigate the systems under soft excitations and weak nonlinearities. A 2-Term Reduced-Order-Model (ROM) is numerically solved for stability analysis using AUTO-07P, a continuation and bifurcation software. The coaxial vibrations of DWCNT are considered in this work, in order to draw comparisons between DWCNT and SWCNT. Effects of damping and voltage of the frequency-amplitude response are reported.
