摘要
The dynamic response of parametrically excited microbeam arrays is governed by nonlinear effects which directly influence their performance. To date, most widely used theoretical approaches, although opposite extremes with respect to complexity, are nonlinear lumped-mass and finite-element models. While a lumped-mass approach is useful for a qualitative understanding of the system response it does not resolve the spatio-temporal interaction of the individual elements in the array. Finite-element simulations, on the other hand, are adequate for static analysis, but inadequate for dynamic simulations. A third approach is that of a reduced-order modeling which has gained significant attention for single-element micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), yet leaves an open amount of fundamental questions when applied to MEMS arrays. In this work, we employ a nonlinear continuum-based model to investigate the dynamic behavior of an array of N nonlinearly coupled microbeams. Investigations focus on the array's behavior in regions of its internal one-to-one, parametric, and several internal three-to-one and combination resonances, which correspond to low, medium and large DC-voltage inputs, respectively. The nonlinear equations of motion for a two-element system are solved using the asymptotic multiple-scales method for the weakly nonlinear system in the afore mentioned resonance regions, respectively. Analytically obtained results of a two-element system are verified numerically and complemented by a numerical analysis of a three-beam array. The dynamic behavior of the two- and three-beam systems reveal several in- and out-of-phase co-existing periodic and aperiodic solutions. Stability analysis of such co-existing solutions enables construction of a detailed bifurcation structure. This study of small-size microbeam arrays serves for design purposes and the understanding of nonlinear nearest-neighbor interactions of medium- and large-size arrays. Furthermore, the results of this present work motivate future experimental work and can serve as a guideline to investigate the feasibility of new MEMS array applications.
