Fifteen test cantilevers of varying shapes have been cut from .032 inch thick sheet aluminum in the UConn metal-shop. (Thanks to Brendan Pratt.) Nine are of uniform width, while six have non-uniform width and are shaped like diamonds.

 

Fifteen test cantilevers of varying shapes cut from .032 inch thick sheet aluminum were used as experimental units to compare to the predicted results. (Cantilever construction was performed by Brendan Pratt in the UConn metal-working shop.)  

 

*Nine cantilevers of uniform width (rectangular shape)

 

*Six cantilevers of non-uniform width linearly dependent on the length (diamond shape)
