Optimization design of V-shaped microcantilevers for frequency ratio regulation and higher harmonic enhancement by Bangzhi Zhang, Changyun Yang, Xilong Zhou

“…In this work, a function model relating the frequency ratio to the dimensionless geometric parameters of V-shaped microcantilevers is obtained based on dimensional analysis. The finite difference method is employed to solve the vibrational equation, demonstrating that the frequency ratio is primarily governed by the normalized free-end width and leg width, but thickness and length ratios have negligible influence. …”
