Natural Frequencies and Mode Shapes of Mechanically Coupled Microbeam Resonators with an Application to Micromechanical Filters

We present a methodology to calculate analytically the mode shapes and corresponding frequencies of mechanically coupled microbeam resonators. To demonstrate the methodology, we analyze a mechanical filter composed of two beams coupled by a weak beam. The boundary-value problem (BVP) for the linear...
