ABSTRACT:
A mounting structure for double-bar resonators to ensure symmetrical loading of the resonator responsive to external forces. In one embodiment, the resonator is connected to a pair of mounting pads through compliant coupling members. The coupling members allow longitudinal, force-induced displacements of the mounting pads to load the resonator while making the resonator insensitive to spurious transverse displacements of the mounting pads. In another embodiment, a force is applied to a load-sensitive, double-bar resonator through a force-transmitting bar which is mounted on an elongated flexure hinge. The hinge is compliant about an axis of rotation which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the resonator so that the hinge attenuates any force component acting perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the resonator which would otherwise non-symmetrically load the resonator.
