A question about cantilever beam

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the analysis of a cantilever beam subjected to a uniform load, with specific dimensions of 0-750 microns in length, 10-20 microns in width, and thicknesses of 0.5 and 1.0 microns. The force applied ranges from 0-50 microNewtons. The user seeks to determine the maximum displacement in the y and z axes and whether maximum displacement equates to maximum deflection. COVENTORWARE 2006 software is utilized for simulation, and the textbook "Microsystems Design" by Stephen Senturia is recommended for further insights.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of cantilever beam mechanics
  • Familiarity with COVENTORWARE 2006 software
  • Knowledge of microfabrication principles
  • Basic grasp of deflection and displacement concepts in structural analysis
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the deflection formulas for cantilever beams under uniform loads
  • Explore the capabilities of COVENTORWARE 2006 for structural simulations
  • Review chapter 9 of "Microsystems Design" by Stephen Senturia
  • Investigate the relationship between deflection and displacement in beam theory
USEFUL FOR

Engineering students, mechanical engineers, and professionals involved in microfabrication and structural analysis of cantilever beams.

Homework Statement


Im having a fixed end free end of cantilever beam under going a uniform load.
With the beam length ranging 0-750 micron,width of 10-20micron and thickness of 0.5 and 1.0 micron.While the force ranging from 0-50microNewton.

Homework Equations


what is the maximum displacement of the beam regarding to the y and z axis?
Is maximum displacement are equal to maximum deflection of the beam?
what is the appropriate formula in solving this problem?


The Attempt at a Solution


-Using COVENTORWARE 2006 software for simulation
-Normal calculation method for theory prooving...



Any idea?please help me...

Since this is probably for a microfabrication / devices course, I'd suggest a look through your textbook. Since it's likely Stephen Senturia's Microsystems Design take a look through chapter 9.
 
can i know whether the deflection are same as displacement for cantilever beam?

In this context, I believe so. BTW, it sounds as if you are asking if it is possible for you to know whether the deflection is the same as displacement. You should just ask, "Is the deflection the same as the displacement for a cantilever beam?"
