Abstract: The outer hair cell (OHC) is known to be the main source of nonlinear activity in the cochlea. In this work, we used a one-dimensional fluid model of the cochlea coupled to a nonlinear ...

Abstract: A detailed study of one-, two-, and three-impact per period motion of a vibro-impacting, pinned beam is presented involving experimental results, as well as one- and multi-degree-of-freedom ...

Abstract: A system of two meshing gears exhibits a stiffness that varies with the number of teeth in instantaneous contact and the location of the corresponding contact points. A classical Newtonian ...

Abstract: Piezoelectric active diaphragms hold promise as an alternative to using passive diaphragms driven by voice coils for sound generation and noise cancellation applications. This paper presents an ...
