Abstract
A haptic device with coupled resonance at tunable frequencies includes an actuator, a first structure coupled to the actuator, a second structure coupled to the first structure and separate from the actuator, and at least one local mass coupled to the first or second structure; the first and second structure having resonance such that application by the actuator of a resonance frequency to the first structure causes the first and second structures to resonate in phase and displace the local mass. A method of forming a haptic device includes coupling an actuator to a first structure, coupling the first structure to a second structure, locating a mass on at least one of the first or second structures, and configuring the actuator to, upon activation, excite the first structure at a resonance frequency of the haptic device such that the first and second structures resonate in phase and displace the mass.
