. Using the experimental setup described above and shown in Fig. 1, we conducted experiments toexamine how spot sizes varied after one to five burns over the same spot, with burns ranging from 26 to29 ms in time. Using multiple, rapid burns produced consistent carbonized spots in the Kapton of lessthan 15µm in diameter, with many less than 10µm and some as small as 4 µm as seen in Fig. 1. Previousresearch on this project produced conducting lines that correlated strongly with the spot size of the beam,suggesting that conducting lines of less than 15µm are obtainable with continued study throughout thissemester.

Naturally, there are advantages and disadvantages in using any of the above meth-ods. By and large, the method of double integration is a frequently used method in determiningslopes and deflections, as well as statically indeterminate reactions at supports, of beams. With-out use of singularity functions, the method of double integration has an advantage of needing aprerequisite in mathematics only up to simple calculus
