Abstract:
Bifurcation topology transfer phenomena in the presence of mode localization are investigated using double-ended fixed electrostatically coupled tuning fork resonators. An analytical model is proposed for the coupled tuning fork resonators, and the effects of feedthrough capacitance on the structure are also analyzed and eliminated by means of data post-processing. Then, an open-loop experimental platform is established, when the system is in balance state, the quality factor is obtained under test as Q = 9858, and comparison of the experiment with numerical simulation results is in good agreement. Finally, with the voltage increases, the two resonators gradually exhibit nonlinear characteristics. It is worth noting that when one of the coupled resonators exhibits nonlinear vibration behavior, even though the vibration amplitude of the other resonator is lower than the critical amplitude, it still exhibits nonlinear behavior, and the results confirm the existence of the bifurcation topology transfer phenomenon in coupled resonators' mode localization phenomenon.
