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

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.
