DESCRIPTION:Prof. Kimberly Turner\, UC Santa Barbara\nResonant microelectr
 omechanical systems are key building blocks for many microsensor applicati
 ons\, including mass detection\, inertial detection and RF filters and tim
 ing oscillators.  Especially in systems with low damping\, amplitudes are 
 such that nonlinearities are present.  In many applications\, these nonlin
 earities can be significant\, and need to be accounted for.  In this talk\
 , I will give an overview of a few applications where understanding and cl
 everly utilizing nonlinearity actually results in improved sensor performa
 nce.  Examples including mass sensors and oscillators will be utilized in 
 this demonstration of the benefit in marrying nonlinear equations and micr
 o/nanoscale devices.
