A Method for Adding Static External Forcing to Invariant Manifolds

Grinde C., Westby E.R., Vestfold University College, NO

We present a new method for applying quasi-static forcing to invariant manifolds without breaking its invariance. This is usefull for modeling biased reduced-order models. The results from initial simulations are very promising and examples spesific [...]

Nonlinear Analytical Reduced-Order Models for MEMS

Westby E.R., Fjeldly T.A., Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NO

We present a method for constructing a nonlinear, analytical, reduced-order model for MEMS-structures. The method is based on the center manifold approach for describing nonlinear modes of mechanical systems, in combination with techniques for predicting [...]
