Abstract: Achieving extreme deformations without electrical breakdown has been a longstanding challenge in the dielectric elastomer community. In this paper, we present a novel approach for accessing giant in-plane stretches in ...

Abstract: This study investigates the vibration of and power harvested by typical electromagnetic and piezoelectric vibration energy harvesters when applied to vibrating host systems that rotate at constant speed. The governing ...

Abstract: A linear model for the bendingbendingtorsionalaxial vibration of a spinning cantilever beam with a rigid body attached at its free end is derived using Hamilton's principle. The rotation axis is perpendicular to the beam ...

Abstract: This article summarizes published journal articles on planetary and epicyclic gear dynamics and vibration. Research in this field has increased dramatically over the past two decades. The wide range of research topics ...
