So I'm doing research with MEMs so we're going to be making silicon wafers that will have little cantilever beams on them which will act as an accelerometer. I need to design it so the beams break at certain forces but to do that I need the yield strength of silicon (that is the correct property isn't it?) and I can't find it anywhere. I'm thinking maybe pure silicon is not the material that's used in MEMs so if someone could point me in the direction to where I could find those mechanical properties that'd be awesome! Thanks
