Design and Evaluation of Nano-cantilever Beam for Sensing Application
Abstract: Sensor array offers several advantages such as selectivity enhancement towards analytes,multiple component analysis etc. In case of an array system, we see that one cantilever beamcan be set as a reference, while the other beams are subjected to varying loads. As a result,even a very small deflection would be detected with the help of adjacent beams, henceenhancing the sensitivity of the cantilever. By using an array of beams with differentfunctionalization …

Structural Health Monitoring of Steel Bridge Model using Sensor
Abstract: The structure needs to be monitored after periodic time in its service life. SHM refers to be theprocess of implementing a damage detection and characterization strategy for engineeringstructures. This helps to lead a cost-effective management and can also help to increase theservice life of the structure. Civil engineering structures pose certain challenges whilemonitoring due to its large dimensions and different types of materials. The structural healthmonitoring is a term increasingly …
