In this study, the free vibration analysis of smart vibration control (SVC) systems based on Reddy – Levinson model and modified strain gradient theory is developed. This system consist of a micro beam at middle and two magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) composite micro beams at top and bottom which connected by enclosing elastic medium and simulated by Winkler and Pasternak foundation. The effects ...

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...

This paper investigates damping ratio in micro-beam resonators based on magneto-thermo-elasticity. A unique aspect of the present study is the effect of permanent magnetic field on the stiffness and thermo-elastic damping of the micro resonators. In our modeling the theory of thermo-elasticity with interacting of an externally applied permanent magnetic field is taken into account. Combined the...

Physics with neutrino beams has played a crucial role in establishing the standard model and its structure, specifically in leading to the discovery of weak neutral currents and of their properties. Currently, while the physics of neutrinos gives us the first evidence of physics beyond the standard model, the use of neutrinos as probes appears to be the only way of accessing subtle details of t...

Tensile strain is crucial to expect the direct recombination in germanium (Ge), towards monolithic light sources on silicon (Si). Freestanding beams of Ge are known to produce strong tensile strain, however, it is not trivial to construct a cavity in a freestanding structure. Here, we fabricated Ge micro-disks on freestanding oxide beams, and observed Whispering-Gallery-Modes (WGM) by photolumi...

In this project, characterization of a series of previously fabricated Aluminium clamped-clamped micro beams and cantilevers by electrical measurements in order to investigate the effects of scaling down on mechanical properties of micro/nano structures is presented. The Young’s modulus that depends on the thickness of the microstructure, residual stress and surface properties as opposed to a c...

We introduce a class of shape-invariant partially coherent beams with a moving guiding center which we term self-steering partially coherent beams. The guiding center of each such beam evolves along a straight line trajectory which can be engineered to make any angle with the x-axis. We show that the straight line trajectory of the guiding center is the only option in free space due to the line...

Owing to the distinguishing properties of nondiffraction, self-healing, and transverse acceleration, Airy beams have attracted much attention in the past decade. To date, a simple approach for exquisitely fabricating cubic phase plates with both continuous variation of phase and micro size still remains challenging, which limits the generation of high-quality Airy beams for integrated micro-opt...
