Abstract

Experimental observation of self-sustaining oscillations via a delayed feedback system is presented for a rectangular silicon microcantilever. The system is modeled as one and two-dimensional damped oscillator and the resulting delay differential equations are studied in frequency and time domain. The shortcomings of each model are outlined, and an improved formulation of the dynamics of the cantilever is presented.
