Abstract

In this article, we create a mathematical representation of an electrostatic resonator consisting of interconnected beams and explore its potential application in mass detection. We perform experiments on a three-beam system to validate the model's predictive accuracy, and the numerical outcomes align qualitatively with the experimental findings. The numerical results reveal the feasibility of adjusting electrostatic actuation to amplify the sensitivity of the coupled MEMS resonator's dynamic response to mass variations through mode localization. This study showcases how the intricate dynamics of coupled beams under electrostatic actuation can be harnessed to enhance the performance of mass sensors significantly.
