A microcantilever is a suspended micro-scale beam structure supported at one end which
can bend and/or vibrate when subjected to a load. Microcantilevers are one of the most …

Vibrational sensors with resonators are suited for online monitoring because of their fast
response and ability to measure instantly and continuously. Also, their miniaturization …

We investigate the response of a digitally controlled and parametrically pumped
microcantilever used for sensing in a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL). We develop an analytical …

This work presents a feedback closed-loop platform to be used for viscosity or viscoelasticity
sensing of Newtonian or non-Newtonian fluids. The system consists of a photothermally …

Self-excited oscillation is a method to make a resonator vibrate at its natural frequency. This
is widely used in vibration sensors such as mass sensors, atomic force microscopes and …

In this current work, a new nonlinear dynamic model based on the forced Van der Pol
oscillator is introduced to demonstrate the time-domain sensitivities of the micro-cantilever to …

The eigenmode shift in weakly coupled resonators is used for ultra-sensitive micro-mass
measurements. For operation in viscous environments, positive velocity feedback is often …

In this study, we propose a high-sensitivity sensorless viscometer based on a piezoelectric
device. Viscosity is an essential parameter frequently used in many fields. The vibration type …

A viscosity sensor based on the nonlinear behaviour of a microcantilever embedded in a self-
excitation loop with an adjustable phase-shifter is proposed. The self-sustained oscillation …

Micro-cantilever beams interact with fluids in static or dynamic modes for several
applications with different research purposes. Various theoretical studies are performed …
