Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to provide detailed information on the dynamic model and closed‐loop control theory for a resonant accelerometer based on electrostatic stiffness, which is important for the design of this type of resonant accelerometer.

Design/methodology/approach

After analysing the principles of the resonant accelerometer based on electrostatic stiffness, a dynamic model was built. According to the requirements of the closed‐loop control, the control equations based on phase‐locked technology were also built for the system. With the help of the averaging method, the system behaviour was analysed, and the equilibrium for the vibration amplitude was achieved.

Findings

The theoretical analysis and simulation show that integral gain is critical to system stability. When it is larger than the critical point, the system stable time is shorter, but the frequency‐tracking process fluctuates; if it is smaller than the critical point, the system stable time is longer, and the frequency‐tracking process stabilizes a resonant accelerometer was fabricated with a bulk‐silicon‐dissolved process. With the above conclusions, the accelerometer was driven and tested with a sensitivity of 47 Hz/g for a single vibration beam.

Originality/value

The dynamic model and the control theory for the resonant accelerometer based on electrostatic stiffness were presented in this paper. The simulation and experiment results agree well with the theoretical analysis.

Abstract

Purpose

Although the bubble tea market has been growing rapidly in recent years, not many studies have been conducted to understand why consumers revisit bubble tea stores. This study aims to understand consumers' intention to revisit bubble tea stores drawing on the theory of planned behaviour (TPB).

Design/methodology/approach

Using the online survey method, data are collected from 166 bubble tea drinkers in Malaysia. Partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) is used to verify the hypotheses.

Findings

The findings indicate that attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control have a significant positive influence on revisit intention. In addition, product quality, price fairness and store atmosphere have a significant positive influence on attitudes. Support is not found for the positive influence of service quality on attitudes.

Originality/value

This study provides fresh insights into the factors that influence consumers' intention to revisit bubble tea stores with empirical data from Malaysia. Furthermore, this study also offers useful practical recommendations to bubble tea store owners or franchisers on how to retain consumers.
