In this work, a new theoretical model for contact resonance atomic force microscopy, which incorporates the elastic dynamics of a long sensing tip is presented. The model is based on the Euler–Bernoulli beam theory and includes coupling effects from the two-beam structure, also known as an ‘L-shaped’ beam in the literature. Here, high-accuracy prediction of the sample stiffness, using several vibration modes with a relative error smaller than 10% for practical working ranges, is demonstrated. A discussion on the model’s capability to predict the dynamic phenomena of eigenmode veering and crossing, as the force applied to the sample increases, is presented. The L-shaped beam model presented here is also applicable for structural applications such as: micro-electro-mechanical systems, energy harvesting, and unmanned aerial vehicle landing gear.

Abstract L bol) of 865 field-age and 189 young ultracool dwarfs (spectral types M6–T9, including 40 new discoveries presented here) by directly integrating flux-calibrated optical to mid-infrared (MIR) spectral energy distributions (SEDs). The SEDs consist of low-resolution (R ∼ 150) near-infrared (NIR; 0.8–2.5μ m) spectra (including new spectra for 97 objects), optical photometry from the Pan-STARRS1 survey, and MIR photometry from the CatWISE2020 survey and Spitzer/IRAC. OurL bolcalculations benefit from recent advances in parallaxes from Gaia, Spitzer, and UKIRT, as well as new parallaxes for 19 objects from CFHT and Pan-STARRS1 presented here. Coupling ourL bolmeasurements with a new uniform age analysis for all objects, we estimate substellar masses, radii, surface gravities, and effective temperatures (T eff) using evolutionary models. We construct empirical relationships forL bolandT effas functions of spectral type and absolute magnitude, determine bolometric corrections in optical and infrared bandpasses, and study the correlation between evolutionary model-derived surface gravities and NIR gravity classes. Our sample enables a detailed characterization ofBT-Settl andATMO 2020 atmospheric model systematics as a function of spectral type and position in the NIR color–magnitude diagram. We find the greatest discrepancies between atmospheric and evolutionary model-derivedT eff(up to 800 K) and radii (up to 2.0R Jup) at the M/L spectral type transition boundary. With 1054 objects, this work constitutes the largest sample to date of ultracool dwarfs with determinations of their fundamental parameters. -
The dynamic stability of a cantilevered beam actuated by a nonconservative follower force has previously been studied for its interesting dynamical properties and its applications to engineering designs such as thrusters. However, most of the literature considers a linear model. A modest number of papers consider a nonlinear model. Here, a system of nonlinear equations is derived from a new energy approach for an inextensible cantilevered beam with a follower force acting upon it. The equations are solved in time, and the agreement is shown with published results for the critical force including the effects of damping (as determined by a linear model). This model readily allows the determination of both in-plane and out-of-plane deflections as well as the constraint force. With this novel transparency into the system dynamics, the nonlinear postcritical limit cycle oscillations (LCO) are studied including a concentration on the force which enforces the inextensibility constraint.more » « less

ABSTRACT We present a sample of 19 583 ultracool dwarf candidates brighter than z ≤23 selected from the Dark Energy Survey DR2 coadd data matched to VHS DR6, VIKING DR5, and AllWISE covering ∼ 480 deg2. The ultracool candidates were first pre-selected based on their (i–z), (z–Y), and (Y–J) colours. They were further classified using a method that compares their optical, near-infrared, and mid-infrared colours against templates of M, L, and T dwarfs. 14 099 objects are presented as new L and T candidates and the remaining objects are from the literature, including 5342 candidates from our previous work. Using this new and deeper sample of ultracool dwarf candidates we also present: 20 new candidate members to nearby young moving groups and associations, variable candidate sources and four new wide binary systems composed of two ultracool dwarfs. Finally, we also show the spectra of 12 new ultracool dwarfs discovered by our group and presented here for the first time. These spectroscopically confirmed objects are a sanity check of our selection of ultracool dwarfs and photometric classification method.

In this paper a novel electrostatic MEMS combined shock sensor and normally-closed switch is presented. The switch uses combined attractive and repulsive forcing to toggle a cantilever beam to and from the pulled-in position. The attractive force is generated through a parallel plate electrode configuration and induces pull-in. The repulsive force is generated through electrostatic levitation from a third electrode and serves to pull the beam out of its pulled-in position. A triboelectric transducer converts impact energy to electrical energy to provide voltage for the third electrode, which temporarily opens the switch if enough impact energy is supplied. Triboelectricity addresses the high voltage requirement for electrostatic levitation. The multi-electrode sensor also addresses the low current output from the generator because it acts as an open circuit between the parallel plate and levitation electrodes. A theoretical model of the switch is derived to analyze stability and the dynamic response of the cantilever. Threshold voltages to pull-in and release the beam through repulsive forcing is calculated. Output voltage plots from a prototype generator under a single impact are applied to the sensor-switch model to demonstrate the working principle of the sensor-switch is feasible.more » « less

In this work, we present a new theoretical model for use in contact resonance atomic force microscopy. This model incorporates the effects of a long, massive sensing tip and is especially useful to interpret operation in the so-called trolling mode. The model is based on traditional Euler–Bernoulli beam theory, whereby the effect of the tip as well as of the sample in contact, modeled as an elastic substrate, are captured by appropriate boundary conditions. A novel interpretation of the flexural and torsional modes of vibration of the cantilever, when not in contact with the sample, is used to estimate the inertia properties of the long, massive tip. Using this information, sample elastic properties are then estimated from the in-contact resonance frequencies of the system. The predictive capability of the proposed model is verified via finite element analysis. Different combinations of cantilever geometry, tip geometry, and sample stiffness are investigated. The model’s accurate predictive ranges are discussed and shown to outperform those of other popular models currently used in contact resonance atomic force microscopy.more » « less
