- 2. • We are very thankful to Our beloved Principal and HOD of Mechanical Engg Dr.B.Jayachandraiah Garu for giving us the opportunity to do our main project • We are also thankful to our Incharge HOD Sri.C.Bhaskar Reddy for giving us permission in doing the project • We express our gratitude to our Guide Sri.C.Vijaya Bhaskar Reddy for encouraging and giving timely suggestion in completing the project. • We are thankful to our Non Teaching staff of mechanical department for their co-operation during the project work. • We dedicates this work to our Parents and teachers who imparted the knowledge.
- 3. • Micro cantilevers are the most simplified MEMS based devices • The overall sensitivity of micro cantilever depends on both the deflection and stress of the cantilever • The stress and deflection is being found by Stoney equation analytically and simulated in ansys software • values are being compared and the errors are being found.
- 4. • A micro cantilever is a device that can act as a physical, chemical or biological sensor by detecting changes in cantilever bending or vibrational frequency. The polymer su8 is used in this project • Micro cantilevers are a million times smaller than the diving board having dimensions in microns (Micro= 10-6 m)
- 5. • In Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) • Temperature Sensors / Heat Sensors • Viscosity Sensors • In physical, chemical and biological sensing
- 6. • Christiane Ziegler, (2004) explains about the cantilevers based bio-sensors. He explains mainly about the theory of cantilevers biosensors. The most common method to measure the deflection of a cantilever is the optical lever technique • Mo Yang et al, (2003) describes about the High sensitivity piezoresistive cantilever design and optimization for analyte- receptor binding. • Mohd. Zahid Ansari et al(2008) explains about the Study on Increasing Sensitivity of RectangularMicrocantilevers Used in Biosensors. He calculated the deflections using Stoney equation
- 7. • Stoney equation is the main basis for the calculation of deflection in micro cantilevers • The Stoney equation used for the calculation of deflection is [Mohd. Zahid Ansari et al(2008) ]
- 8. Case-1: polymer - su8 Pressure = 0.01 N/mm2 Surface stress ( ) = 0.8 N/m Elastic Modulus (E) = 5Gpa Poisson ratio (v) = 0.22 Length (l) = 200µm Width (w) = 120µm Thickness (t) = 2.8µm Area (a) = 17600µm2
- 9. • = 0.37µm Deflection (Z) =0.37µm IN SIMILAR WAY THE DEFLECTION IS BEING FOUND FOR DIFFERENT VALUES OF STRESS
- 10. • The software used for the analysis of deflections in cantilevers is “ANSYS”. • ANSYS is general-purpose finite element analysis (FEA) software package. • This type of analysis is typically used for the design and optimization of a system for too complex to analyze by hand
- 13. • By using Ansys the deflections have been found for different values of Surface stress • Case 1: DMX= 0.479E-06

- 18. • The deflection of the C shaped Micro cantilever was Calculated using Stoney’s equation mathematically and the same cantilever is (analyzed) simulated using Ansys software. • Since von mises stress is less than stress intensity the model is in safe zone • The results shows that the analysis with mathematical and simulated are with in a minimum error of .1 (10%) at an approval.
