Abstract: The effect of the laminate stacking factor on homopolar magnetic bearing performance is examined. Stacked laminates are used on the bearing rotor and in the stator. These laminate stacks have ...

Abstract: The vibrations of a flexible rotor are controlled using piezoelectric actuators. The controller includes active analog components and a hybrid interface with a digital computer. The computer ...

Abstract: An integrated, compact piezohydraulic actuator system for active vibration control was designed and developed with a primary application for gas turbine aircraft engines. Copper tube was chosen ...

Abstract: Past research on this subject has treated piezoelectric actuators as ideal devices that have tip displacements proportional to their input voltages, at any instant in time. This assumption ...
