Abstract
It is difficult that assemble a minute machine using still minuter parts. If assemble it, space and friction between parts cannot disregard in the micro world. However, such a problem is solvable if the objective function is realized by one continuum. The continuum having such a specific function is called "Functional Continuum". For the Functional Continuum, it is needed to restrict the transfer direction and to amplification or attenuation against mechanical action. In this study, a technique using a slit to create such Functional Continuum is proposed and its mechanical property is evaluated by FEM Analysis and experiment. It is presented that a bending rigidity changes before and after a slit contacts, when a slit is put into cantilever beam.
