A sensor for stiffness change sensing based on three weakly coupled resonators with enhanced sensitivity
This paper reports on a novel MEMS resonant sensing device consisting of three weakly coupled resonators that can achieve an order of magnitude improvement in sensitivity to stiffness change, compared to current state-of-the-art resonator sensors with similar size and resonant frequency. In a 3 degree-of-freedom (DoF) system, if an external stimulus causes change in the spring stiffness of one resonator, mode localization occurs, leading to a drastic change of mode shape, which can be detected by measuring the modal amplitude ratio change. A 49 times improvement in sensitivity compared to a previously reported 2DoF resonator sensor, and 4 orders of magnitude enhancement compared to a 1DoF resonator sensor has been achieved.

Abstract
This paper reports on a novel MEMS resonant sensing device consisting of three weakly coupled resonators that can achieve an order of magnitude improvement in sensitivity to stiffness change, compared to current state-of-the-art resonator sensors with similar size and resonant frequency. In a 3 degree-of-freedom (DoF) system, if an external stimulus causes change in the spring stiffness of one resonator, mode localization occurs, leading to a drastic change of mode shape, which can be detected by measuring the modal amplitude ratio change. A 49 times improvement in sensitivity compared to a previously reported 2DoF resonator sensor, and 4 orders of magnitude enhancement compared to a 1DoF resonator sensor has been achieved.
