Statistical Properties of a Fluctuation-Driven Nanomechanical Duffing Resonator
Monan Ma, Nathan Welles, Johnathon Barbish +5
We investigate the fluctuating nonlinear dynamics of multiple modes of a nanomechanical doubly clamped beam resonator. Each mode is driven by Gaussian force noise centered around t…
Theoretical modeling of the dynamic range of an elastic nanobeam under tension with a geometric nonlinearity
N. W. Welles, M. Ma, K. L. Ekinci +1
A theoretical description of the weakly nonlinear and mode-dependent dynamics of a nanoscale beam that is under intrinsic tension is developed. A full analysis of the dynamic range…
Mode-Dependent Scaling of Nonlinearity and Linear Dynamic Range in a NEMS Resonator
M. Ma, N. Welles, O. Svitelskiy +5
Even a relatively weak drive force is enough to push a typical nanomechanical resonator into the nonlinear regime. Consequently, nonlinearities are widespread in nanomechanics and…
Electrothermal Actuation of NEMS Resonators: Modeling and Experimental Validation
Monan Ma, Kamil L. Ekinci
We study the electrothermal actuation of nanomechanical motion using a combination of numerical simulations and analytical solutions. The nanoelectrothermal actuator structure is a…
