Bifurcation Type Change of AC Electrostatically Actuated MEMS Resonators due to DC Bias

This paper investigates the nonlinear response of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) cantilever resonator electrostatically actuated by applying a soft alternating current (AC) voltage and an even softer direct current (DC) voltage between the resonators and a parallel fixed ground plate. The AC f...
