Effect of Surface and Interfacial Tension on the Resonance Frequency of Microfluidic Channel Cantilever
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The bending resonance of micro-sized resonators has been utilized to study adsorption of analyte molecules in complex fluids of picogram quantity. Traditionally, the analysis to characterize the resonance frequency has focused solely on the mass change, whereas the effect of interfacial tension of the fluid has been largely neglected. By observing forced vibrations of a microfluidic cantilever filled with a series of alkanes using a laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV), we studied the effect of surface and interfacial tension on the resonance frequency. Here, we incorporated the Young-Laplace equation into the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory to consider extra stress that surface and interface tension exerts on the vibration of the cantilever. Based on the hypothesis that the near-surface region of a continuum is subject to the extra stress, thin surface and interface layers are introduced to our model. The thin layer is subject to an axial force exerted by the extra stress, which in turn affects the transverse vibration of the cantilever. We tested the analytical model by varying the interfacial tension between the silicon nitride microchannel cantilever and the filled alkanes, whose interfacial tension varies with chain length. Compared with the conventional Euler-Bernoulli model, our enhanced model provides a better agreement to the experimental results, shedding light on precision measurements using micro-sized cantilever resonators.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
