         Answer:




         Problem 1.5
             Find the relationship between the thickness t and the length l for a
         microcantilever such that the stiffness ratio        at the free end 1 is
          equal to n (n >  1), and that the axial stiffness at the same point is less than a
          fixed value of


         Answer:



         Problem 1.6
             A curved beam of rectangular cross-section defined by        and
                 has a radius  of        Determine the position of the neutral axis
          by calculating the eccentricity e.

          Answer:
                            for 0.6 < R/w < 8
                            for R/w > 8
             relative error between the first and second predictions: 0.1%

          Problem 1.7
             Find the z-direction deflection at point  1  for the free-fixed structure of
          Fig. 1.33. Known are l, R and   The  constant  cross-section is square  and
          the material is homogeneous with known E and G.
