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…
