Mode Coupling in Electromechanical Systems: Recent Advances and Applications
Coupled mechanical resonator systems have recently become the focus of intense research in the field of micro/nanoelectromechanical systems. Focusing especially on experimental developments and practical applications, the coupled mechanism is divided in three types: intermode, near‐neighbor, and long‐range coupling.

A dual-mass capacitive-readout accelerometer operated near pull-in [PDF]
A mechanical two-mass configuration and a readout circuit for a single-axis capacitive-readout accelerometer with ΣΔ force-feedback is presented. The system reduces electrical and quantisation input-referred noise through the use of negative springs ...

Discrete element models for understanding the biomechanics of fossorial animals
The dynamics (forces, work, and soil displacements) of burrowing by North American Badger were predicted for different forms of badger claw and manus, using numerical models. The results indicate that the modern manus with 5 digits has indeed advantages.
