This paper details study of the anti-symmetric response to the symmetrical electrostatic excitation of a Micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS) resonant mass sensor. Under higher order mode excitation, two nonlinear coupled flexural modes to describe MEMS mass sensors are obtained by using Hamilton's principle and Galerkin method. Static analysis is introduced to investigate the effect of added mass on the natural frequency of the resonant sensor.
