Measuring Viscosity Using the Hysteresis of the Non-Linear Response of a Self-Excited Cantilever

A self-oscillating microcantilever in a feedback loop comprised of a gain, a saturator, and an adjustable phase-shifter is used to measure the viscosity of Newtonian fluids. Shifting the signal of the loop with the adjustable phase-shifter causes sudden jumps in the oscillation frequency of the cant...
