Control-based continuation of an externally excited MEMS self-oscillator

This abstract has open access
Summary
We apply control-based continuation (CBC) to a periodically forced active micro-cantilever with integrated sensing and actuation elements. Previous work with an experimental test rig has shown that this micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) is described well by a set of ordinary differential equations. We use this mathematical model to demonstrate that CBC with non-invasive position control is able to follow synchronised periodic solutions through stability changes at fold points.
