Abstract: Tapping-mode atomic force microscopy has wide applications for probing the nanoscale surface and subsurface properties of a variety of materials in a variety of environments. Strongly nonlinear ...

Abstract: Electrically driven impact microactuators generate nanoscale displacements without large driving distances and high voltages. These systems exhibit complex dynamics because of inherent nonlinearities ...

Abstract: Grazing bifurcations in impact oscillators characterize the transition in asymptotic dynamics between impacting and nonimpacting motions. Several different grazing bifurcation scenarios under variations ...

Abstract: The matrices in 17,27 should appear as:Display Formulax(t)=(αγcos(ωt−ϕ)−ωαγsin(ωt−ϕ)ωtmod2π)T (17) Display Formuladxdτ=f(x)=(εv−2ζεv−εx+εV2(1−cos(2θ))2(1−x)21)T (27)

Abstract: Following an electrical stimulus, the transmembrane voltage of cardiac tissue rises rapidly and remains at a constant value before returning to the resting value, a phenomenon known as an action ...
