In this study, the effect of finite strain on bending of the geometrically nonlinear of micro laminated composite Euler-Bernoulli beam based on Modified Couple Stress Theory (MCST) is studied in thermal environment. The Green-Lagrange strain tensor according to finite strain assumption and the principle of minimum potential energy is applied to obtain governing equation of motion and boundary c...

This article studied static deflection, natural frequency and nonlinear vibration of a clamped-clamped microbeam under discontinues electrostatic actuation. The electrostatic actuation was induced by applying AC-DC voltage between the microbeam and electrode plate. In contrast to previous works, it was assumed that length of the electrode plate was smaller than that of the microbeam. In additio...

This paper concerns itself with the performance of deflection routing in optical burst-switched networks based on Just-Enough-Time (JET) signaling. Generally speaking, buffer requirement is not vital for JET-based optical burst switching (OBS). However, if deflection routing is enabled, optical buffers are necessary to solve the insufficient offset time problem. A variant of priority queuing mo...

Currently, no theory is available to describe the conformation of DNA confined in a channel when the nanochannel diameter is around the persistence length. Backfolded hairpins in the undulating wormlike chain conformation result in the formation of loops, which reduces the stretch of the molecule in the longitudinal direction of the channel. A cooperativity model is used to quantify the frequen...

In this paper, we identify the Young’s modulus and residual stress state of a free-standing thin aluminum membrane, used in MEMS radio-frequency (rf) switches. We have developed a new methodology that combines a membrane deflection experiment (MDE) and three-dimensional numerical simulations. Wafer-level MDE tests were conducted with a commercially available nanoindenter. The accuracy and usefu...

Purpose This paper aims to report the first iteration on Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) Engineering Model altimeter named HELENA. HELENA is a Time of Flight (TOF) that provides time-tagged distances velocity measurements. The LIDAR can be used for support near asteroid navigation scientific information. design comprises two types technologies: microchip laser low noise sensor. synergies be...

Many manufacturing defects could be seen in cylindrical turning. Some of these defects are: elastic deformation of work-piece, nonlinear backlash of cutting set – machine – workpiece, unknown geometry of untreated part, thermal deformations, vibration of set and machine. Deflection of workpiece under cutting forces will cause different levels of processing of workpiece 1 . Nonlinear backlash of...

Beetles of the genus Melanophila and certain flat bugs of the genus Aradus actually approach forest fires. For the detection of fires and of hot surfaces the pyrophilous species of both genera have developed infrared (IR) receptors, which have developed from common hair mechanoreceptors. Thus, this type of insect IR receptor has been termed photomechanic and shows the following two special feat...

PURPOSE Proton radiation therapy (PRT) is a standard treatment of uveal melanoma. PRT patients undergo implantation of ocular tantalum markers (OTMs) for treatment planning. Ultra-high-field MRI is a promising technique for 3D tumor visualization and PRT planning. This work examines MR safety and compatibility of OTMs at 7.0 Tesla. METHODS MR safety assessment included deflection angle measur...
