Modal interactions in a two-nanomechanical-resonator array
Abstract
Most studies on nanomechanical resonators in the literature are concerned with a single resonator. In this work, an array of two nanomechanical resonators is analyzed. A quasi-analytic approach with averaging method is used to compare the beams responses with and without electrostatic coupling terms. The results show modal interactions between the two beams due to the electrostatic coupling. It is shown that the qualitative behavior of the coupled resonators can be infered from the response curves of the uncoupled resonators. In particular, additional loops occur due to the algebraic structure of the coupled system. The contribution lies in the deduction of the beam array responses curve by using multiple uncoupled responses of the single-beam resonators.
