Dear anurekha,
Most of what you will be doing in mems - unless it's PDMS falls between
either a plate or a shell - the Timoshenko bible still holds

Hi all,

To everyone whose the member of memstalk and A request to all of those who
are working in Indian univ/research institute/engineering college/IIT

I deparately need the book of " Flat and corrugated Diaphragm design
Handbook" by M. D Giovanni, Mercel Dekker(publisher)

In case the book is available in your library , please let me know.

If any one of you can suggest me any other reference which deals with te
same subject, I shall be indebted. I am specifically looking for the design
book that deals with deflection equation of the diaphragms of different
shapes. The "Theory of plates and shells" by timoshenko does deal with
plates but not exactly with diaphargms.

Can the expression for strain energy for large deflection with residual
stress be solved with Matlab, if yes  can anyone tell which method to be
used.
