This study identifies non-homogeneous stiffnesses in a non-destructive manner from simulated noisy measurements of a structural response. The finite element method serves as a discretization for the ...
Optical beam deflection (OBD) is the most prevalent method for measuring cantilever deflections in atomic force microscopy (AFM), mainly due to its excellent noise performance. In contrast, ...
The integrations needed to determine beam deflections require the enforcement of the appropriate displacement and rotation boundary conditions (BCs). It is important that we be able to recognize these ...
