English abstract:
This contribution investigates the influence of parametric excitation on the dynamic stability of a microelectromechanical
system. In systems with just a single degree of freedom, parametric excitation causes the
oscillator to exhibit unstable behavior within certain intervals of the parametric excitation frequency. In
multi-degree of freedom systems on the other hand, unstable behavior is caused within a wider range of intervals
of the parametric excitation frequency. Moreover, such systems show frequency intervals of enhanced
stability, an effect known as anti-resonance phenomenon. Both types of phenomena, the parametric resonance
and anti-resonance, are modeled and studied for a microelectromechanical system with two degrees of
freedom and some novel results are discussed.
