Characterization of Mechanical Properties of Micro/Nano Beams

2016
Student Projects

Abstract

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 constant Young’s modulus in macro scale theories was investigated. Due to insufficient sample space and high stresses during fabrication, a correlation was not obtained.

Correlation

In statistics, correlation or dependence is any statistical relationship, whether causal or not, between two random variables or bivariate data. Although in the broadest sense, "correlation" may indicate any type of association, in statistics it usually refers to the degree to which a pair of variables are linearly related. Familiar examples of dependent phenomena include the correlation between the height of parents and their offspring, and the correlation between the price of a good and the quantity the consumers are willing to purchase, as it is depicted in the so-called demand curve.

Project

A project is any undertaking, carried out individually or collaboratively and possibly involving research or design, that is carefully planned to achieve a particular goal. An alternative view sees a project managerially as a sequence of events: a "set of interrelated tasks to be executed over a fixed period and within certain cost and other limitations". A project may be a temporary (rather than a permanent) social system (work system), possibly staffed by teams (within or across organizations) to accomplish particular tasks under time constraints.

Project management

Project management is the process of leading the work of a team to achieve all project goals within the given constraints. This information is usually described in project documentation, created at the beginning of the development process. The primary constraints are scope, time, and budget. The secondary challenge is to optimize the allocation of necessary inputs and apply them to meet pre-defined objectives. The objective of project management is to produce a complete project which complies with the client's objectives.
