TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a spatial light modulator with a micromirror and one or more deflection limiting mechanisms, and a process for fabrication therefor, where the mirror support structure has a deflection stopping mechanism that limits the tilt angle of the reflective plate.
Abstract: A spatial light modulator having a micromirror and one or more deflection limiting mechanisms, and a process for fabrication therefor. In one embodiment, the mirror support structure has a deflection stopping mechanism that limits the tilt angle of the reflective plate. Alternatively, a deflection stopping mechanism can be provided separate from the mirror support structure. The deflection stopping mechanism can be used in conjunction with one or more additional stopping mechanisms such as the abutment of a portion of the reflective plate against the substrate upon which it was constructed and/or abutment of the micromirror on a surface or structure of the circuit substrate.

TL;DR: In this article, the dynamic response of sandwich plates subjected to blast load was analyzed by considering the effect of various parameters such as structural damping, viscoelastic medium constants, geometric parameters of plates, volume fraction and agglomeration of CNTs, geometrical parameters of auxetic honeycombs core and magnetic field on the dynamic deflection of the sandwich structure.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of twenty-eight centrifuge tests was performed on piled embankments with basal geosynthetic reinforcement to assess the influence of pile spacing, embankment height, pile cap size and geoSynthetic stiffness on the load transfer mechanism and surface settlements.

TL;DR: In this article, the bending behavior of a cantilever coated with a magnetostrictive film was investigated and it was shown that the central deflection of the end of the cantilevers is a function of the geometric aspect ratio.
Abstract: Finite element modelling was applied to the bending behaviour of a cantilever coated with a magnetostrictive film. The model is verified by comparison with accepted analytical solutions, then extended to the more realistic case in which one end of the cantilever is rigidly clamped across the width. It is shown that the central deflection of the end of the cantilever is a function of the geometric aspect ratio. An empirical correction factor is suggested to account for this variation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the dynamic response of end-clamped monolithic beams and sandwich beams by loading the beams at mid-span using metal foam projectiles and found that the performance of the sandwich beams with a transverse core orientation is very similar to that of the monolithic beam.
