| Summary: | The nonlinear coupled vibration of an electrically actuated arch microbeam has attracted wide attention. In this paper, we studied the nonlinear dynamics of an electrically actuated arch microbeam with flexible supports. The two-to-one internal resonance between the first and second modes is considered. The multiple scales method is used to solve the governing equation. Four first-order ordinary differential equation describing the modulation of the amplitudes and phase angles were obtained. The equilibrium solution and its stability are determined. In the case of the primary resonance of the first mode, stable periodic motions and modulated motions are determined. The double-jumping phenomenon may occur. In the case of the primary resonance of the second mode, single-mode and two-mode solutions are possible. Moreover, double-jumping, hysteresis, and saturation phenomena were found. In addition, the approximate analytical results are supported by the numerical results.
