Examples of AFM cantilevers

For a BS-75kHz

L=225 w=28 t=3 h=17+3/2 (is actually trapezoidal)}

$k_{N}={\frac {1}{4}}Yw\left({\frac {t}{L}}\right)^{3}={\frac {1}{4}}\left(160000\right)28\left({\frac {3}{225}}\right)^{3}=2.\,654\,8$

$f[Hz]={\frac {t\beta _{i}^{2}}{4\pi L^{2}}}{\sqrt {\frac {Y}{3\rho }}}={\frac {\left(3\ast 10^{-6}\right)\left(1.875\right)^{2}}{4\pi \left(225\ast 10^{-6}\right)^{2}}}{\sqrt {\frac {\left(160\ast 10^{9}\right)}{3\ast 2330}}}=79318.Hz$

$2\left({\frac {wh}{tL}}\right)^{2}=2\left({\frac {28\ast 18.5}{3\ast 225}}\right)^{2}=1.\,177\,8$ so $k_{lat}~k_{tor}.$

$k_{tor}=k_{N}{\frac {1}{2}}\left({\frac {L}{h}}\right)^{2}=2.65{\frac {1}{2}}\left({\frac {225}{18.5}}\right)^{2}=195.\,99$

$2\left({\frac {wh}{tL}}\right)^{2}=2\left({\frac {30\ast 19.5}{4\ast 440}}\right)^{2}=0.220\,96$ so $k_{lat}<k_{tor}.$

$f$ $[Hz]={\frac {t\beta _{i}^{2}}{4\pi L^{2}}}{\sqrt {\frac {Y}{3\rho }}}={\frac {\left(4\ast 10^{-6}\right)\left(1.875\right)^{2}}{4\pi \left(215\ast 10^{-6}\right)^{2}}}{\sqrt {\frac {\left(160\ast 10^{9}\right)}{3\ast 2330}}}=1.\,158\,2\times 10^{5}Hz$

$2\left({\frac {wh}{tL}}\right)^{2}=2\left({\frac {30\ast 19.5}{4\ast 215}}\right)^{2}=0.925\,43$

so $k_{lat}~k_{tor}.$

$k_{tor}=k_{N}{\frac {1}{2}}\left({\frac {L}{h}}\right)^{2}=7.7{\frac {1}{2}}\left({\frac {215}{19.5}}\right)^{2}=468.\,02$

For a MPP111

$2\left({\frac {wh}{tL}}\right)^{2}=2\left({\frac {30\ast 19.5}{4\ast 115}}\right)^{2}=3.\,234\,6$ so $k_{lat}>k_{tor}.$
