74582 - Linear Analysis of Self-Excited Oscillation in Cantilever Produced by Phase Shift 

Self-excited oscillation is a method to make a resonator vibrate at its natural frequency. This method is widely applied in vibration-type sensing. Self-excited oscillations are produced due to negative damping, phase shift, time delay, and so on. A method to positively utilize the self-excited oscillation is the application of negative velocity feedback to produce the negative damping effect. However, it has distinctly a drawback that the feedback signal is made by the derivative of the displacement signal with respect to time, which amplifies the sensor noise signal with high-frequency. The amplified noise may do harm to the system. Generally speaking, the signals cannot be amplified when we use feedback with phase shift or time delay. A nano cutting procedure based on a vibrating cantilever-type cutter is efficient when the response frequency is near the natural frequency of the cutter. Therefore, the method of self-excited oscillation is applied by using displacement feedback with phase shift because of its superiority in nanoscale vibration with high-frequency noise. In this research, we apply a phase-shifter into a feedback loop to produce self-excited oscillation in the cantilever. By considering the equation of feedback base on phase-shifter and the equation of motion of the cantilever simultaneously, we investigate the range of phase shift which can produce self-excited oscillation in the resonator.
