We study the vibrational motion of mechanical resonators under strong drive in the strongly nonlinear regime. By imaging the vibrational state of rectangular silicon nitride membrane …
This paper presents a novel approach of annular concentric split rings microelectromechanical resonators with tether configuration to reduce anchor loss and gives …
The work in this thesis aims to uncover energy loss mechanisms in MEMS-based piezoelectric contour-mode resonators. Quality factors for these devices has been …
