English abstract:
Resonant micro- and nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) are typically subject
to interaction with a liquid or gaseous environment. Recently, it has been demonstrated that non-
conventional eigenmodes exhibit remarkably high quality factors (Q factors) in liquids. However,
the physical origin of this phenomenon remains elusive. Here we introduce a definition of non-
conventional eigenmodes for cantilever structures and develop a boundary integral method for
describing the interaction of an incompressible viscous fluid and a non-conventional eigenmode of
a MEMS/NEMS resonator. With this framework we are able to study the influence of the mode
shape on the fluid-structure interaction.
