Impact of silicon nitride thickness on the infrared sensitivity of silicon nitride-aluminum microcantilevers
… cantilever optical properties, cantilever bending mechanics, and thermomechanical noise. Silicon nitride-aluminum bimaterial cantilevers of different thicknesses were designed and fabricated. Cantilever sensitivity and noise were measured when exposed to infrared laser radiation. For …

Investigating Poloidal Bias in DNA Minicircles and Overhang influence on DNA Dehybridization
… proteins. For instance, it experiences extreme bending when packaged into nucleosomes and undergoes strand separation (dehybridization) during transcription. Single-molecule assays offer a powerful approach to uncover the behavior of DNA during these processes. This dissertation presents two …

Design of a Surgically-Viable Umbo Microphone For Implantable Assistive Hearing Devices
… The microphone behaves according to plate bending mechanics, yet plate stretching produces the charge which is amplified.

Mechanics of jammed media used as a structural element
… element is very similar to analyses done in soil mechanics where the "strength" of the soil depends on the stress applied, the rate of stress application and the physical properties of the soil particles themselves. Most applications of soil mechanics (such as with buildings or vehicles) are …

Structural Mechanisms of F-actin Mechanochemical Regulation and Flexible Network Assembly
… could alter the energetic landscape of filament bending, producing structural differences in bent states which could be discriminated by ABPs. By developing a neural-network–based particle picking approach and using methods to handle flexible heterogeneity in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) …

Theoretical and experimental studies of bending/stretching of inorganic electronic materials printed on plastic substrates and their practical applications
… of inorganic materials on plastic substrate by bending has been not studied well and the degree of bendability has simply defined by the bend radius at which the strain reaches some substantial fraction of a fracture strain (e.g., ~1 %) in a typical inorganic film. This thesis has been focused …
