...Najib Kacem; Sébastien Baguet; Sébastien Hentz; Régis Dufour In order to compensate for the loss of performance when scaling resonant sensors down to NEMS, a complete analytical model, including all main sources of nonlinearities, is presented as a predictive tool for the dynamic behavior...

... is conducted to explore the nonlinear oscillation of the carbon nanotube near its fundamental natural frequency (primary-resonance) and near one-half, twice, and three times its natural frequency (secondary-resonances). The nonlinear analysis is carried out using a shooting technique to capture periodic orbits...
