The dynamics of a self-sustained electromechanical transducer is studied. The stability of the critical points is analyzed using the analytic Routh-Hurwitz criterion. Analytic oscillatory solutions are obtained in both the resonant and non-resonant cases. Chaotic behavior is observed using the Shilnikov theorem and from a direct numerical simulation of the equations of motion.
