Abstract

We investigate, experimentally and theoretically, the linear mode coupling between the first symmetric and antisymmetric modes of an electrothermally tuned and electrostatically actuated micromachined arch resonator. The arch is excited using an antisymmetric partial electrode to activate both modes of vibrations. Theoretically, we explore the static and dynamic behavior using the Galerkin method. When tuning the electrothermal voltage, the first symmetric frequency increases while the first antisymmetric frequency decreases until they cross. The results show linear coupling and hybridization of both modes near crossing only in the presence of the perturbation from the electrostatic force using the partial electrode. We show the linear merging of both modes at crossing. Also, the eigenfrequency variation around crossing shows a ratio of 2:1 between the second symmetric mode and the first symmetric/antisymmetric modes, which can lead to simultaneous 1:1 and 2:1 internal resonances.
