Active Tuning of Spring Constant and Resonant Frequency

Mechanical characteristics such as spring constants and resonant frequencies of beams and membranes can be changed by introducing strain. In this section, we focus on discussing methods for tuning characteristics of cantilever beams to exemplify the methodology. For cantilevers, longitudinal strain can be introduced by axial or transverse loading forces. We will discuss these two
