The direct parametrisation method for invariant manifolds is used for model order reduction
of forced-damped mechanical structures subjected to geometric nonlinearities. Nonlinear …

The topic of situation awareness has received continuing interest over the last decades.
Freeze-probe methods, such as the Situation Awareness Global Assessment Technique …

Any polarizable body placed in an inhomogeneous electric field experiences a dielectric
force. This phenomenon is well known from the macroscopic world: a water jet is deflected …

Nonlinear elastic effects play an important role in the dynamics of microelectromechanical
systems (MEMS). A Duffing oscillator is widely used as an archetypical model of mechanical …

This paper investigates the dynamic response of a class of electrostatically driven
microelectromechanical (MEM) oscillators. The particular systems of interest are those which …

We experimentally demonstrate an exploitation of the nonlinear softening, hardening, and
veering phenomena (near crossing), where the frequencies of two vibration modes get close …

Electrostatically-actuated resonant microbeam devices have garnered significant attention
due to their geometric simplicity and broad applicability. Recently, some of this focus has …

Micro/nanoelectromechanical systems (M/NEMS), especially micro/nanomechanical
resonators, provide an unprecedented platform for investigating a wide range of applications …
