Converting the vibrations generated by water currents in contact with an object into energy. This is the basis of the new ...
Fluid flow across a flexible or elastically mounted structure causes vibrations due to vortex shedding and other similar instabilities, like galloping. The flow-induced vibrations (FIV) are ...
Flow-induced vibration (FIV) poses a substantial challenge in nuclear reactor design, particularly in the context of fuel rod assemblies. These vibrations arise from the complex fluid–structure ...
Catalan scientists have built a pendulum-based energy-harvesting system that converts the vibrations of water currents into ...
In the offshore subsea environment, weather disruptions and changes in the oceanic environment are common considerations for operators. Reducing the effects of such factors is key to keeping costs low ...
An international research team has investigated the impact of wind-induced vibrations on solar modules and has found that wind-induced stress can have significant mechanical repercussions on PV arrays ...
Moving stages are essential but challenging components in semiconductor and nanotechnology manufacturing. These stages, used in wafer inspection, lithography, metrology ,and other applications can ...
