Abstract

During the broadband viscoelasticity measurement process, when the frequency of the excitation force become high relative to the resonant frequency or the bandwidth of the instrument dynamics, the adverse instrument dynamics is motivated, which causes the cantilever resonance and generates large measurement errors in the measurement data. To solve this problem, an approach to suppress the cantilever resonance on the broadband viscoelasticity measurement is proposed. Firstly, Atomic force microscope (AFM) system dynamic is analyzed by using a dynamic signal analyzer (DSA) in the z-axis. And a notch filter is designed as a prefilter of the AFM system to filter the input drive voltage in order to offset the resonance peak in the AFM model. Secondly, an adaptive filter based on LMS is designed to further eliminate the residual cantilever resonance effects on the complex compliance of soft materials, referring to the Hertz contact model. Finally, the proposed approach is illustrated by implementing it to remove the cantilever resonance effects on the broadband viscoelasticity measurement of a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) sample using AFM.
