On the Dynamics of a Micro-Beam Driven by a Traveling Harmonic Force

Article Preview

Abstract:

There is no literature mentioning the dynamics of a micro beam on which a harmonic force traveling to and fro. This article is the first to present the dynamics of a micro beam subjected to a traveling harmonic force, especially the effects of the frequencies and traveling speed on the dynamics of a micro beam. According to analytical results and the simulation results by ANSYS, the resonant frequencies of a micro-beam will be bifurcated by the traveling harmonic force. One frequency of the external force may simultaneously excite two vibration modes at some particular traveling speeds. The micro structure may become unstable at particular traveling speed.
