Piezoelectric-based nano resonators are smart structures that can be used for mechanical sensors and actuators in miniature systems. In this study, the nonlinear vibration behavior of a curved piezoelectric-layered nanotube resonator was investigated. The structure comprises core slender layer piezoelectric material covering inner where harmonic voltage is applied to layer. Applying energy meth...

A new design consideration is explored for a hair-pin resonator. A grounding via at the mid-point of the resonator acts as a perturbation to split the resonant frequencies. The via also suppresses even harmonics of the fundamental. The principle operation of the hair-pin resonator with a via is analyzed and verified by measurement. It is shown that such a hair-pin resonator can be made more com...

Grazing flow passing over the quiescent fluid inside the cavity of a Helmholtz resonator can excite the resonator. When the frequency of the instabilities within the shear layer is near the natural frequency of the resonator then flow-excited resonance will occur. This process causes self-sustained periodic oscillations of the flow over the orifice of the resonator. Quantitative numerical predi...

We analyse the quantum dynamics of a nanomechanical resonator coupled to a normal-state single-electron transistor (SET). Starting from a microscopic description of the system, we derive a master equation for the SET island charge and resonator which is valid in the limit of weak electro-mechanical coupling. Using this master equation we show that, apart from brief transients, the resonator alw...

We show two effects as a result of considering the second-order correction to the spectrum of a nanomechanical resonator electrostatically coupled to a Cooper-pair box. The spectrum of the Cooper-pair box is modified in a way which depends on the Fock state of the resonator. Similarly, the frequency of the resonator becomes dependent upon the state of the Cooper-pair box. We consider whether th...

To achieve dual frequency operation for wireless body area network (WBAN) applications, a hybrid dual-band dielectric resonator antenna with serpentine slot fed by a microstrip line is proposed. The proposed antenna structure consists of cylindrical dielectric resonator and serpentine slot resonator. The serpentine slot is etched on the ground plane of the dielectric resonator antenna (DRA). By...

There is a strong demand for portable systems that can detect and characterize individual pathogens and other nanoscale objects without the use of labels, for applications in human health, homeland security, environmental monitoring and diagnostics. However, most nanoscale objects of interest have low polarizabilities due to their small size and low refractive index contrast with the surroundin...
