Micro/nanocantilevers have been employed as sensors in many applications including chemical and biosensing. Due to their high sensitivity and potential for scalability, miniature sensing systems are in wide use and will likely become more prevalent in micro/nano-electromechanical systems (M-NEMSs). This paper is mainly focused on the use of sensing systems that employ micro/nano-size cantilever...

in this paper, the stability of a functionally graded magneto-electro-elastic (fg-mee) micro-beam under actuation of electrostatic pressure is studied. for this purpose euler-bernoulli beam theory and constitutive relations for magneto-electro-elastic (mee) materials have been used. we have supposed that material properties vary exponentially along the thickness direction of the micro-beam. gov...

abstract: in this paper a control scheme for grid-connected operation mode and the island state of distributed generation is presented. in normal conditions, every inverter dg system in micro-grids to supply a preset power, normally operate in a constant current control mode. when micro-grids removed from the network, dg inverter of each system must recognize the island and change position to v...

statement of problem: hemostatic agents may affect the micro-leakage of different adhesive systems. also, chlorhexidine has shown positive effects on micro-leakage. however, their interaction effect has not been reported yet. objectives: to evaluate the effect of contamination with a hemostatic agent on micro- leakage of total- and self-etching adhesive systems and the effect of chlorhexidine a...

as it is seen, by passing the evolutionary process of banding of orthodontic attachments to the bonding ones, orthodontics have witnessed many developments, such as application of new adhesives, optimized base designs, new bracket materials, curing methods and more efficient primers. the studies often address the morphological, micro-leakage, and shear bond tests to evaluate bond efficacy. amon...

the micro wire electrical discharge machining (micro wire-edm) process is a modern machining process with various applications in manufacturing micro-parts. the recast layer remaining on the machined surfaces is an inevitable complication of this process. this layer can subsequently affect the machined parts performance. to optimize the recast layer in the micro wire-edm of the molybdenum micro...

in this research, the influence of adding micro- and nano- sized calcium carbonate powders to nylon-66 was investigated. mechanical properties of micro and nano- composites, including tensile strength, elongation, and young’s modulus, before and after ageing, were determined and analyzed. for this purpose, micro- and nano-sized caco3 particles were used as fillers to prepare micro-composites (c...
