Excitation of multiple 2-mode parametric resonances by a single driven mode
Abstract
We demonstrate autoparametric excitation of two distinct sub-harmonic mechanical modes by the same driven mechanical mode corresponding to different drive frequencies within its resonance dispersion band. This experimental observation is used to motivate a more general physical picture wherein multiple mechanical modes could be excited by the same driven primary mode within the same device as long as the frequency spacing between the sub-harmonic modes is less than half the dispersion bandwidth of the driven primary mode. The excitation of both modes is seen to be threshold-dependent and a parametric back-action is observed impacting on the response of the driven primary mode. Motivated by this experimental observation, modified dynamical equations specifying 2-mode auto-parametric excitation for such systems are presented.
