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 …

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

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 …

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 …

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 …

In this paper, we propose a sensorless amplitude control method for the self-excited
oscillation by sensorless nonlinear feedback. Artificial self-excited oscillation by the …

A versatile mass-sensing platform based on the nonlinear dynamical response of a
microcantilever embedded in a self-excitation feedback loop is proposed. It is experimentally …

A self-oscillating microcantilever in a feedback loop comprised of a gain, a saturator, and an
adjustable phase-shifter is used to measure the viscosity of Newtonian fluids. Shifting the …

Sensors based on self-excitation of microcantilevers have been proposed as effective
devices for the measurement of rheological properties of the fluid where they are immersed …

Mass sensors based on the eigenmode shift of coupled cantilevers achieve much higher
sensitivity than those based on the single cantilever's eigenfrequency shift. In the former …
