abstract: the main aim of the vibration energy harvesters is to locally power autonomous devices such as wireless sensors. generally, power levels are low and the environmental benefit of the technology is to replace batteries rather than saving energy per se. piezoelectric vibrational energy harvesters are usually inertial mass based devices, where a cantilever beam with a piezoelectric outer ...

Cantilevers fabricated by means of micromachining techniques are usually used for atomic force microscopy. In this paper, the spring constant of an atomic force microscope (AFM) cantilever is determined by using a large-scale cantilever. Since the spring constant of the large-scale cantilever is calibrated accurately, the spring constant of the AFM cantilever is determined precisely by measurin...

Although dental implants have been successfully used for the rehabilitation of fully edentulous and partially edentulous patients, patient’s various conditions constrict the application of implant, or make dental treatment using dental implants very complex and difficult. Implantsupported cantilever prostheses represent that conditions. Becker and Kaiser insisted that alignment problems, extens...

This paper presents a case study of geotechnical design of bridge foundations and approaches in hilly granite formation in northern New South Wales of Australia. Firstly, the geological formation and existing cut slope conditions which have high risks of rock fall will be described. The bridge has three spans to be constructed using balanced cantilever method with a middle span of 150 m. After ...

Micromechanical cantilevers show great potential as highly sensitive biochemical sensors. Cantilever-based sensing involves the transduction of a biomolecular interaction to a measurable mechanical change in the cantilever resulting from induced surface stresses added mass. In surface stress sensing applications, one side of the cantilever beam is rendered sensitive to a specific target molecul...
