Vibration response of microcantilevers bounded by a confined fluid.
Hydrodynamic predictions of fluid velocity and pressure distribution are made for fluid in a confined space bounded by a vibrating microcantilever and a fixed surface. The results are used to quantify damping factors and predict frequency response amplitudes of a microcantilever vibrating near a fixed surface. The theoretical predictions of vibration response compare favorably with experimental data.
