Clinic Final Report Available

I have posted my undergraduate Clinic Final Report online,

www.michaelholtonprice.com/clinic.pdf

There were five undergraduate students on the Clinic team. The abstract and introduction are a good overview of our work. I wrote the technical introduction and derived the Euler-Bernoulli results. What is not clear from the report is that we used my Euler-Bernoulli solution in two ways. In the first semester we used it to design the dimensions of our silicon beams. For that, we didn't need the forced solution: the homogenous solution is sufficient to predict the resonant frequency of the first mode. In the second semester we did need the forced solution, to compare our measured amplitude with our predicted amplitude.
