TL;DR: In this paper, the non-linear bending of both cantilever and simply supported beams subjected to a uniformly distributed load has been studied and the exact solutions for the slopes have been obtained and the solution for the maximum deflection and the horizontal projection of the beam length for the cantileve case are compared with a known approximate solution.

TL;DR: In this article, the nonlocal elastostatic problem of Bernoulli-Euler nanobeams is formulated in variational terms by recognizing that the nonlocality effect is equivalent to a bending curvature distortion prescribed on a corresponding local nanobeam, subjected to the same kinematic boundary constraints and applied loads.
Abstract: Small-scale effects in nanobeams are effectively described by the Eringen model of nonlocal elasticity. The nonlocal elastostatic problem of Bernoulli–Euler nanobeams is here formulated in variational terms by recognizing that the nonlocality effect is equivalent to a bending curvature distortion prescribed on a corresponding local nanobeam, subjected to the same kinematic boundary constraints and applied loads. The conditions to be imposed for the kinematic integrability of the bending curvature field are also provided to evaluate the bending moment solution in statically indeterminate nonlocal nanobeams. Since the curvature distortion describing the nonlocality effect is kinematically integrable in statically determinate structures, bending moments do not exhibit small-scale effects in non-redundant nanobeams. The equivalence method illustrated in the present paper is resorted to for solving the nonlocal elastostatic problem of nanobeams under constant transversal load distributions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a sticking model for a cantilevered beam is derived, which includes the effect of the bending moment, which stems from stress gradient along the vertical direction of structural polysilicon, and the temperature during the release process.
Abstract: A sticking (stiction) model for a cantilevered beam is derived. This model includes the effect of the bending moment, which stems from stress gradient along the vertical direction of structural polysilicon, and the temperature during the release process. The bending moment due to the stress gradient will play an important role in evaluating antisticking efficiency since liquid tension and surface energy of microstructures tend to become smaller by newly developed antisticking techniques. The effects of stress gradient and temperature were analyzed and verified with surface-micromachined polysilicon cantilevers. By modifying the substrate polysilicon with grain-hole formation technique, the effects of residual stress gradient in polysilicon on stiction could be observed in the condition of low work of adhesion.

TL;DR: It is concluded that mandibular fractures can be divided roughly into two groups with similar load patterns across the fracture, which consists of angle and posterior body fractures, and the other group consists of anterior body, canine and symphysis fractures.
Abstract: The loads across the fracture depend on variables such as position of the fracture and the bite point. Up to now, no study has described systematically the influence of these two variables on these loads. The aim of this study was to describe and compare value and direction of the loads across the fracture for different positions of fractures in the mandible. In a three-dimensional model, bending and torsion moments and shear forces were compared for five mandibular fractures. The fractures were located in, respectively, the angle, posterior body, anterior body, canine and symphysis region. Positive bending moments were defined to give compression at the border, negative bending moments to give compression at the alveolar side of the mandible. The angle and posterior body fracture have high positive bending moments, small torsion moments and high shear forces. The anterior body, canine and symphysis fracture have high negative bending moments and high torsion moments with similar maximum values. The number of bite points with negative bending moments were different for all fractures. These bite points were always located on the fractured side. It is concluded that mandibular fractures can be divided roughly into two groups with similar load patterns across the fracture. One group consists of angle and posterior body fractures, the other group consists of anterior body, canine and symphysis fractures.
