Beams are often subject to different boundary conditions and forces in MEMS design. A comprehensive reference for the bending of beams in different situations is Roark s formulas for stress and strain [4]. We considered a fixed-free cantilever beam that is subjected to a point load at its free end in the spring analysis above. The fixed-free boundary condition means that one end is fixed, so that both its displacement and slope do not change under the applied force. The other end of the beam is free to both move and change its slope in response to a point load F, as shown in Figure 2.7. In that case the deflection of the beam y(j ) as a function of position x is given by...
