Hi all, I have one small doubt. I have fixed_fixed beam fabricated using polysilicon. Let us assume that the material has inbuilt stress. In a normal beam with width very large in comparison to thickness, we expect beam to bend verticaly up/down. Now, if I make width small in comparison to thickness, will the beam bend laterally? with regards, Somashekara Bhat, Research Scholar, Electrical Engineering Department, F3-28, Zig-Zag Road,IIT Madras Chennai - 36 Phone - 9444779063(mobile)
