Abstract: Flexoelectricity exists in all inhomogeneously deformed dielectric materials and is of great interest in engineering science, especially in microelectromechanical systems. However, the flexoelectricity is relatively small ...

Abstract: A generic impingement cooling system for turbomachinery application is modeled experimentally and numerically to investigate heat transfer and pressure loss characteristics. The experimental setup consists of an array of ...

Abstract: Nonlinear oscillations of dielectric elastomers are widely used in the application of dielectric devices. However, the effects of the dielectric permittivity on the oscillations have been overlooked previously. In this ...

Abstract: Flexoelectricity is a universal phenomenon present in all dielectrics that couples electrical polarization to strain gradients and vice-versa. Thus, structures and configurations that permit large strain gradients facilitate ...
