This document summarizes a study on the dynamic response of a rectangular micro-plate to mechanical shocks using modified couple stress theory (MCT). MCT accounts for intrinsic material size effects, unlike classical theory. Numerical results show MCT predicts less deflection than classical theory for thinner plates. The study finds the micro-plate's stable region depends on shock amplitude and duration, with stretching effects more significant for higher shocks. Both shock amplitude and duration must be considered along with pull-in voltage to prevent micro-electromechanical systems failure under mechanical shocks.
Using WordPress to Capture Memories by Kate Swafferwordcampgc
Kate Swaffer documents her experience living with dementia and how using WordPress has helped her capture memories and communicate with others. She did not expect to develop dementia at a young age, but it has taken away her ability to remember what she reads. WordPress allows her to blog and have her writing always available to re-read. It has brought back dreaming and opened a channel for dialogue, creating a memory bank. While dementia takes a toll, WordPress continues to make her life interesting and fulfilling.
