First of all, thank you for your answer which allows me to better understand the subject.
Regarding of my meaning of "inducing the resonance", I will contextualize my question. I am interested in a technology / method called Blue-Ray-based micromechanical resonator which allows to follow the change in mass of material attached to the surface of microbridges thanks to the resonance change of these microbridges. In the article I read, it is stated that "Microbridges were actuated by means of a piezoelectric crystal, which was set to linearly sweep a range of frequencies in the vicinity of the theoretically predicted resonance frequency. ”. Having little knowledge in the field, I wonder about the function of this piezoelectric crystal and therefore I find it difficult to grasp its usefulness in the method.
If you can help me it would be great.
Thanks
