Abstract

Vibrational wineglass modes in disk and rings that are made from (100) silicon are considered. It is shown that all odd-ordered wineglass modes are necessarily frequency matched, each with its orthogonal conjugate. In contrast, all even-ordered wineglass modes are likely not to be frequency matched with their orthogonal conjugate. Some specific cases are presented that show that many wineglass modes do not have a rotational periodic symmetry. This is relevant to disks and rings that are driven and sensed by surrounding gap-closing electrostatic actuators.
