The response of a large array of coupled nonlinear oscillators to parametric excitation is studied, motivated by the growing interest in the nonlinear dynamics of microelectromechanical and nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS and NEMS). Using a multiscale analysis, we derive an amplitude equation that captures the slow dynamics of the coupled oscillators just above the onset of parametric oscillations. The amplitude equation that we derive here from first principles contains uncommon nonlinear gradient terms which yield a unique wave-number dependent bifurcation similar in character to the behavior known to exist in fluids undergoing the Faraday wave instability. We suggest a number of experiments with nanomechanical or micromechanical resonators to test the predictions of our theory, in particular the strong hysteretic dependence on the drive amplitude.
