The electrostatic pull-in instability (EPI), within the framework of the nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) has been shown as a robust and versatile method for characterizing mechanical properties of nanocantilevers. This paper aims to…
An experimental arrangement and a set of experiments are developed to generate empirical evidence of the effect of noise on a rotating, macro-scale cantilever structure. The experiment is a controlled representation of a rotating machinery…
Relating microstructure to properties, electromagnetic, mechanical, thermal and their couplings has been a major focus of mechanics, physics and materials science. The majority of the literature focuses on deriving homogenized constitutive…
Curved thin sheets are ubiquitously found in nature and manmade structures. Within the framework of classical thin plate theory, the stiffness of thin sheets is independent of its bending state. This assumption, however, goes against…
In this paper an experimental validation of numerical approaches aimed to predict the coupled behaviour of microbeams for out-of-plane bending tests is performed. This work completes a previous investigation concerning in plane microbeams…
This research article presents stress distribution and fracture analysis of a cantilever beam considering both continuum and lumped distribution of gravity force. Airy stress function is used to derive two-dimensional stress distribution…
A new technique was developed for studying the mechanical behavior of nano-scale thin metal films on substrate is presented. The test structure was designed on a novel "paddle" cantilever beam specimens with dimensions as few hundred…
The variational static formulation contributed in [International Journal of Engineering Science 143, 73-91 (2019)] is generalized in the present paper to model axial and flexural dynamic behaviors of elastic nano-beams by nonlocal strain…
Although stiction is a cumbersome problem for microsystems, it stimulates investigations of surface adhesion. In fact, the shape of an adhered cantilever carries information of the adhesion energy that locks one end to the substrate. We…
We present here a novel cantilever based apparatus to perform translational stress or strain controlled rheology in very soft solids, and obtain simultaneous confocal imaging of the 3 dimensional microstructure. The stress is measured using…
We show that the static force spectroscopy curve is significantly modified due to presence of intrinsic cantilever instability. This instability acts in tandem with such instabilities like water bridge or molecular bond rupture and makes…
The quantitative measurement of viscoelasticity of nano-scaleentities is an important goal of nanotechnology research and there is considerable progress with advent of dynamic Atomic Force Microscopy. The hydrodynamics of cantilever, the…
The sensitivity of mechanical resonators to physical quantities such as acceleration, pressure, mass and temperature enables them to underpin sensing and metrology applications. Here, we observe that the resonance frequency of a…
In this review article, we focus on emerging nanocantilever based biological sensors and discuss the response of nanocantilevers towards bio-molecules capture. The article guides the reader through various modes of operation (e.g., static…
We perform simulations and experiments on an oscillating atomic force microscope cantilever approaching a surface, where the intermodulation response of the cantilever driven with two pure harmonic tones is investigated. In the simulations,…
Surface stress, also known as surface tension, is a fundamental material property of any interface. However, measurements of solid surface stress in traditional engineering materials, such as metals and oxides, have proven to be very…
In the experiments on stress-induced phase transitions in SMA strips, several interesting instability phenomena have been observed, including a necking-type instability, a shear-type instability and an orientation instability. By using the…
A combination of micro-Raman spectroscopy and micro-XPS (X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy) mapping on statically deflected p-type silicon cantilevers is used to study the mechanical stress dependence of the Fermi level pinning at an…
Bernoulli pads generate locally large wall shear stresses on workpieces, which can be used for cleaning, but may also damage delicate surfaces. This work presents direct measurements of the wall shear stress using constant temperature…
In this research, the size-dependent static behaviour of elastic curved stubby beams is investigated by Timoshenko kinematics. Stress-driven two-phase integral elasticity is adopted to model size effects which soften or stiffen classical…
