Fabricating optical fibre-top cantilevers for temperature sensing [PDF]
In this paper, we propose techniques to fabricate micro-cantilevers onto the end of standard single mode optical fibres using a combination of picosecond laser machining and focused ion beam milling techniques and demonstrate their use as temperature ...

Cantilever micro-rheometer for the dcharacterization of sugar solutions [PDF]
The volume required for the rheological characterization of fluids can be minimized by using micromechanical cantilevers as viscosity sensors. Here, a simple measurement tool for the characterization of sugar solutions is proposed. The sensor consists of

Dynamic cantilever magnetometry of individual ferromagnetic nanotubes [PDF]
In this thesis, we focus on a particular aspect of nanotechnology, namely the understanding of magnetic states in nanometer-scale objects. Describing microscopic magnetization states and reversal is particularly important for the development of magnetic ...

Active Vibration Control of Cantilever Beam by Using Optimal LQR Controller
Many of mechanical systems are exposed to undesired vibrations, so designing an active vibration control (AVC) system is important in engineering decisions to reduce this vibration. Smart structure technology is used for vibration reduction.

A new scanning force microscope for temperature-controlled static and dynamic friction measurements, using an extended normal and lateral working range with high spatial resolution [PDF]
In this work, a new and improved SFM is presented. This SFM can measure many variables such as the individual dynamic and active temperature regulation of the sample and the cantilever, miscellaneous friction modes, x-, y-, z- linearization and an ...

Development of an opening-tearing mode fracture system for composite materials
In this paper the mixed-mode I/III prestressed split-cantilever beam fracture specimen [1,2] is developed, which combines the mode-III modified split-cantilever beam [1] and the well-known double-cantilever beam [3] specimens using a special rig.
