Synchronization of electrically coupled micromechanical oscillators with a frequency ratio of 3:1

Abstract: In this Letter, synchronization of micromechanical oscillators with a frequency ratio of 3:1 is reported. Two electrically coupled piezoresistive micromechanical oscillators are built for the study, and their oscillation frequencies are tuned via the Joule heating effect to find out the synchronization region. Experimental results show that the larger coupling strength or bias driving voltage is applied and a wider synchronization region is obtained. Interestingly, however, the oscillator's frequency tunabilit… Show more

“…Hopf bifurcations [27], synchronization [28][29][30], internal resonances [31][32][33], and veering [34][35][36] are examples of physical phenomena that were extensively investigated at the micro and nano scale. Also, significant research has been conducted recently on nonlinear mechanics of microsystems, such as dynamic integrity of electrostatic MEMS [37][38][39] and AFM [40,41], control of MEMS [42][43][44], reduced-order modeling and gyroscopes [45][46][47].…”

“…Energy transfer via internal resonance among various modes of vibration of micro and nano-electromechanical structures (MEMS and NEMS) has been explored for several potential applications, such as timing/synchronization [1,2], energy harvesting [3,4], mass sensing [5], and frequency stabilization [6,7]. Internal resonance, also called auto-parametric resonance, represents a nonlinear 2 mechanism for energy leakage from the targeted vibration mode to another mode.…”

“…Mode coupling among various modes of vibration of micro-and nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS and NEMS) has been explored for several interesting capabilities and potential applications, such as mass sensing [1,2], signals filtering [3] and timing/synchronization [4][5][6]. The wide implementation of mode coupling in N/MEMS in the past decade has been sparked by the exciting results demonstrated in the classical structure dynamics.…”
