- This novel paper proposed a technique to measure the density and viscosity of different Newtonian and non-Newtonian liquids simultaneously. A clear novelty of this work is it uses small volumes of liquid and its independency on cantilever geometry which significantly reduces the errors due to the cantilever inhomogeneity and fabrication defects. The mathematical approach used in this work is the basis of other developments in the calibration of cantilevers as published in Applied Physics Letters 112 (8), 083101 and Journal of Applied Physics 124 (15), 154502. This multidisciplinary research covers several scientific fields as Physics, Mechanical Engineering, and sensors technology.
