The separation of physical forces acting on the tip of a magnetic force microscope (MFM) is essential for correct magnetic imaging. Electrostatic forces can be modulated by varying the tip-sample potential and minimized to map the local…

We present a microfluidic device that enables trapping, analysis, and on-demand release of individual microparticles through membrane deformation driven by pneumatic actuation. Inspired by Pachinko-style architectures, the system features…

We study the dynamics of MEMS microbeams undergoing electrostatic pull-in. At DC voltages close to the pull-in voltage, experiments and numerical simulations have reported `bottleneck' behaviour in which the transient dynamics slow down…

The effect of pressure on the structural, elastic and electronic properties of the intermetallic compound MgCu with a CsCl-type structure have been investigated using ab-initio technique. The optical properties have been studied under…

We present the coupled oscillator: a new mechanism for signal amplification with widespread application in metrology. We introduce the mechanical theory of this framework, and support it by way of simulations. We present a particular…

In order to evaluate the potential of MEMS deformable mirrors for open-loop applications, a complete calibration process was performed on a 1024-actuator mirror. The mirror must be perfectly calibrated to obtain deterministic membrane…

In this paper it is presented a detailed numerical investigation of acoustic emission signals obtained from test samples of fibreglass reinforced polymeric matrix composites, when subjected to tensile and flexural tests. Various fractal…

One of the essential questions in the area of granular matter is, how to obtain macroscopic tensorial quantities like stress and strain from ``microscopic'' quantities like the contact forces in a granular assembly. Different averaging…

We propose an analytical model for the force-indentation relationship in viscoelastic materials exhibiting a power law relaxation described by an exponent n, where n = 1 represents the standard viscoelastic solid (SLS) model, and n < 1…

A new type of elasticity of random (multifractal) structures is suggested. A closed system of constitutive equations is obtained on the basis of two proposed phenomenological laws of reversible deformations of multifractal structures. The…

Microcantilever specimens for in-plane and out-ofplane bending tests are here analyzed. Experimental validation of 2D and 3D numerical models is performed. Main features of in-plane and out-of-plane layouts are then discussed. Effectiveness…

Mechanical characterization of shale-like rocks requires understanding the scaling of the measured properties to enable the extrapolation from small scale laboratory tests to field study. In this paper, the size effect of Marcellus shale…

The micro-electromechanical-system (MEMS) force and acceleration sensor utilizing the graphene-induced non-radiative transition was investigated. The graphene-induced non-radiative transition is very sensitive to the distance, and the…

Ultrasound has long been used as a non-destructive tool to test for the brittle fracture of materials. Could it be used as a similar tool to test for ductile failure? This study reports results of local measurements of the speed of shear…

We examine how well the physical properties of clumps in turbulent molecular clouds can be determined by measurements of observed clump structures. We compare simulated observations of three-dimensional numerical models of isothermal,…

We demonstrate a scanning force microscope, based upon a quartz tuning fork, that operates below 100 mK and in magnetic fields up to 6 T. The microscope has a conducting tip for electrical probing of nanostructures of interest, and it…

Soft elastic composite materials can serve as actuators when they transform changes in external fields into mechanical deformation. Here, we address the corresponding deformational behavior of magnetic gels and elastomers, consisting of…
