A cyclic microbend study on LIGA Ni microelectromechanical systems thin films
Article Abstract:
The results of recent studies of cyclic microbend experiments and their consequences for plasticity length-scale phenomena in LIGA Ni microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) thin films are presented. The implications of the results are then discussed for the analysis of plasticity and cyclic deformation in MEMS structures and other microscale systems.

An investigation of the effects of microstructure on fatigue crack growth in Ti-6242
Article Abstract:
The results of a combined experimental and analytical investigation of pure fatigue in smooth hourglass specimens of Ti-6242 with equiaxed, elongated and colony microstructures are presented. The implications of the results are discussed for life prediction and nondestructive inspection of aeroengine structures and components from Ti-6242.

A study of creep in polysilicon MEMS devices
Article Abstract:
An experimental micro test structure is developed and measurements of high temperature plastic deformation within polysilicon are conducted. The results show that both increases in temperature and stress are shown to increase the creep rate within the studied beams in the region of interest of the test device.
