The analytical and numerical results comprising vertical displacement for six veneer compositions of the straight
cantilever beam and for three veneer compositions of the curved
cantilever beam are given in Tab.
The boundary conditions are those of a
cantilever beam or subject to balance of the moment and shear at the free end x = L [31].
where [H.sub.z] is the
cantilever beam thickness, [k.sub.i] is the coefficient of bulk increase, 1.33, [h.sub.m] is the mining thickness, and [h.sub.i] is the strata layer thickness.
The weights are changing from 3 to 33 g, which means the static stress acting on the
cantilever beam changes from 0.029 to 0.323 N.
For the prototypes, novel device architecture is utilized in which an airfoil is mounted at the free end of the
cantilever beam and is used to also extract the wind energy.
Here, [D.sub.1] is the bending moduli per unit width, [m.sub.e] = 0.236 mW, L is the effective mass of the
cantilever beam at tip, [v.sub.n] is the nth mode eigenvalue ([v.sup.2.sub.n] = [square root of 0.236/3]), [DELTA]m is the mass of the point proof mass added to the free end tip, L is the total length of the
cantilever beam, W is the width of the
cantilever beam, and [L.sub.m] is the length of the suspended mass.
The flexural
cantilever beam to be considered is the straight, uniform beam with an additional rigid mass attached by fixed connection.

Case of
cantilever beam free end and distributed force applied
The step motor drives the micrometer screw which deflects the
cantilever beam of a value given by the controlling program.
When calculating the coating stress using equation (2), it is important to consider how the presence of the walls influences the deflection of the coated
cantilever beams. Because of its low Young's modulus as well as its good adhesion to silicon, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS, Sylgard[R] 184, Dow Corning) was chosen for the wall material.
The double
cantilever beam (DCB) test is widely used for evaluation of the mode-I fracture energy originally developed for studying the fracture of adhesively bonded joints [7].
