Abstract :
We developed a method for studying a tuning fork with non-perfect clamp and coupling between the arms. The model consists of torsion springs linking each beam with the base and a torsion spring linking the beams together. This model allows to consider the case of two different beams to study imperfections. Full determination of motional parameters is presented.
