Determination of the Mechanical Properties of Shape Memory Alloys
Abstract: Shape memory alloys are materials which can be deformed by cooling below a certain critical temperature and then regain their original shape after heating above this critical transition temperature.. Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are a class of functional materials that possess unique thermo mechanical properties, such as shape memory effect (SME), super elasticity (SE), damping, and good fatigue and corrosion resistance, which enable them to become ideal materials for applications …

Design and Analysis of Fluid Pressure in Microchannel for Healthcare Application
Abstract: The research article study explores an innovative approach for optimizing fluid pressure within microchannels using 2D integrated microcantilevers. These microcantilevers, strategically placed within the microchannel, serve as sensitive sensors to monitor fluid pressure variations. The computational simulations illustrate the effective approach to achieving improved pressure measurement for cell separation outcomes. The integrated microcantilever can determine the fluid pressure inside the microchannel, and also determine the pressure required for the cell …

Simulation of Electrostatic Microactuator with Two-Sided Electrodes
Abstract: Microcantilevers are the basic MEMS structures, which can be used as both sensors and actuators. The objective of this work is to study the concept of two-way deflection of the cantilever due to applied voltage and the ground. The proposed work is carried out by using Comsol/Multiphysics software which is based on the finite element method (FEM). The proposed work is modeled and simulated by selecting electromechanics as the physics …

Micro-cantilever Sensors for Efficient Gas Sensing
Abstract: AbstractMicro-cantilever has been progressively used for the development of miniaturized sensors for gas sensing, biochemical analysis, medical applications and quality and process control. Micro-cantilevers are fabricated with rectangular silicon slabs having thickness below 1 µm. For gas sensing applications, Si cantilever surface is modified with appropriate sensing materials for selective adsorption of gas/vapor or biomolecules. The bending of the cantilever due to different surface conditions is measured with laser beam …

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 …

Influence of wall friction on Active Earth Pressure in Model Test
Abstract: Earth pressure theories occupy a paramount position in the field of geotechnical engineering. The knowledge of active earth pressure under static condition is essential in designing a retaining wall as the damage to such retaining structures may lead to disastrous failure. A retaining wall helps in maintaining the ground surface at different elevations on either side of it. Without such a structure, the soil at higher elevation would tend to …

Flexibility Analysis of Refinery Piping System
Abstract: Piping systems in downstream refineries and process plants experience a great thermal strain due to the difference between ambient and operating temperatures of process and utility fluid flowing through them. This thermal growth causes thermal stresses which leads to failure in piping components like flange leakage, deflection in piping, fractures at nozzle juncture and other fatal errors in piping system. Therefore, these piping structures must be flexible enough to support …
