Abstract

A Duffing type oscillator simulates a micromechanical resonator with electrostatic force on both sides. The system, concerning the amplitude of the external excitation and the damping parameter, has rich dynamics that contain regular (periodic and semi- periodic) and chaotic oscillations. Melnikov's function proves the existence of homoclinic chaos.
