... Cantilevers Stress (materials) Sensors Generally, micro‐cantilevers are very similar in design to macro‐scale diving boards. The static and dynamic transverse deflections are a function of the applied loads, the material's mechanical properties and the geometry of the micro‐cantilever (Rinaldi...
