Abstract: The electromechanical integrated electrostatic harmonic drive is a new drive system invented by authors. The dynamic displacements of the flexible ring for the drive have important influence on ...

Abstract: In this research, the feasibility of using embedded cement-based piezoelectric sensors to detect the acoustic emission (AE) activities in concrete has been studied. A sensor is presented that is made with the 0–3 cement-based ...

Abstract: In this study, new ultrasonic transducers with piezo patches as transmitting and sensing element were fabricated and used as embedded ultrasonic transducers for concrete property diagnosis. The ultrasonic transmitter was ...

Abstract: Cell-substrate interaction is implicated in many physiological processes. Dynamical monitoring of cellular tractions on substrate is critical in investigating a variety of cell functions such as ...

Abstract: The Stockbridge damper (SD) has been used for vibration mitigation of suspender cables subjected to vortex-induced and other types of resonant vibrations. This paper studies its effectiveness and robustness, as well as a ...
