Trimmable chip capacitors are build up as multilayer plate capacitors. Vaporizing the top layer with a laser decreases the capacitance by reducing the area of the top electrode.

The orthogoi al multilayer sandwich plate which provides considerable strength, stiffness and stability has been used in some important engineering structures, such as the composite material bridge.

In this paper, the forming mechanism of the multilayer rafted ice is described from mechanics view, and the buckling failure of a plate on an elastic foundation is introduced.
