Spring Constant of a cantilever beam.

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,
I'm calculating the spring constant of a cantilever the Young's modulus and the geometry (see e.g. Chen, Yeh, Tai, Anal. Chem. 79, 1333, 2007):

k = ( E * w * t^3) / (4 * L^3)

E: Young's modulus E=166GPa
t: thickness t=5um
w: width w=60um
L: length L=300um
Please help to how to calculate it in comsol.
