Since the late 1980s there have been spectacular developments in micromechanical or
microelectro-mechanical (MEMS) systems which have enabled the exploration of …

Digital holographic microscopy (DHM) can be described as a non-invasive metrological tool
for inspection and characterization of microelectromechanical structures (MEMS). DHM is a …

In this paper, we present a detailed mechanical characterization of freestanding bilayer (Au-
TiW) micro-cantilevers and double clamped beams, for applications as Radio Frequency …

Over the past several decades, atomic force microscopy (AFM) has advanced from a
technique used primarily for surface topography imaging to one capable of characterizing a …

Microcantilevers were first introduced as imaging probes in Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)
due to their extremely high sensitivity in measuring surface forces. The versatility of these …

The mechanical properties of polymeric nanocomposites are strongly affected by the nature
of the interphase between filler and matrix, which can be controlled by means of surface …

Jumping mechanisms are useful in robotics for locomotion in unstructured environments, or
for self-righting abilities. However, most rigid robots rely on impact with the ground to jump …

The previously developed high-performance method of the atomistic simulation of thin film
deposition is applied to the investigation of effects connected with SiO_2 films annealing. It …

SiC is a candidate material for microelectromechanical and nanoelectromechanical
systems, but the high residual stress created during the film grow limits the development of …
