Mechanical Dissipation in Silicon Flexures
The search for gravitational radiation remains one of the most challenging problems faced by experimental physicists at this present time. One of the most significant limits to the sensitivity of current and planned long-baseline gravitational wave detectors is thermal displacement noise in their test masses and suspensions. Future detectors with higher sensitivities will require optics with bo...
متن کاملMicro-Raman Measurement of Bending Stresses in Micromachined Silicon Flexures
Micron-scale characterization of mechanical stresses is essential for the successful design and operation of many micromachined devices. Here we report the use of Raman spectroscopy to measure the bending stresses in deep reactive-ion etched silicon flexures with a stress resolution of 10 MPa and spatial resolution of 1 m. The accuracy of the technique, as assessed by comparison to analytical a...
متن کاملMechanical tuning of two-dimensional photonic crystal cavity by micro Electro mechanical flexures
A nano-displacement sensing method for micro-opto-electro-mechanical-systems (MOEMS) is proposed. The method is based on a square attice photonic crystal (PC) made of dielectric silicon posts, mounted on a micro mechanical flexure. The flexure is fixed at one end and is free to ove at the other, to enable elastic deformations that, by being transferred to the photonic crystal array, modify its ...
متن کاملPhonon-tunnelling dissipation in mechanical resonators
Microscale and nanoscale mechanical resonators have recently emerged as ubiquitous devices for use in advanced technological applications, for example, in mobile communications and inertial sensors, and as novel tools for fundamental scientific endeavours. Their performance is in many cases limited by the deleterious effects of mechanical damping. In this study, we report a significant advancem...
متن کاملA Mechanical Model for the Rapid Body Flexures of Fast-starting Fish
To understand the mechanical behavior of fast-starting fish, we modeled the pumpkinseed sunfish, Lepomis gibbosus, as a longitudinally-loaded beam that behaves as an elastic column eccentrically-loaded by lateral musculature. Since bending moments are a function of the shape of the body, we used real sunfish to determine, (1) from cross-sections, the effective moment arm of the lateral musculat...
