Time delay effects on a digital feedback-enabled cubic nonlinearity in MEMS resonators
摘要
This work investigates the impact of time delay on resonators with nonlinearity introduced via a digital feedback loop. A piezoelectric MEMS cantilever is driven near its fundamental frequency, and an FPGA-based feedback mechanism applies a delayed cubic displacement term. Employing the Krylov–Bogolyubov averaging method, an approximate analytical model is developed to capture the influence of feedback delay on the slow dynamics of amplitude and phase. Experimental results, obtained by incorporating controlled delays ranging from approximately 0.9 to 12
