An accelerometer is a device used to measure acceleration. Acceleration is the rate of change of an object’s velocity, measured in square meters per second [m/s2] or g force. This type of device is used to detect vibrations or the orientation of certain sy ...

The Double Closure Plate Sub-Plate (DCPSP) was introduced in the Electron Cyclotron Upper Launcher (EC UL) design in order to minimize the openings exposing the interior of the Port Plug (PP) to the port cell; avoiding thus the near environment activation ...
Dynamic impedance spectroscopy is a powerful tool to investigate the temporal development of reaction kinetics in electrochemical systems, where the reactive species may undergo irreversible changes during the measurement. In this work we redefined dynamic ...
Existing loading protocols for quasi-static cyclic testing of structures are based on recordings from regions of high seismicity. For regions of low to moderate seismicity they overestimate imposed cumulative damage demands. Since structural capacities are ...
After a quick literature review of rotordynamics, bearing dynamics and rotor vibrations during acceleration, the rotor of a slotless permanent magnet synchronous motor is being studied through simulations. In a first modal analysis, the critical speeds of ...
Free-standing masonry column is a recurrent typology of built cultural heritage. Usually raised without seismic design, columns are subject to intense rocking and overturning under strong ground motions. In this paper, a strategy to assess their seismic vu ...
The vibrational response of solid materials and structural components is substantially governed by their mechanical and geometrical properties. Low-frequency vibrations and modal frequencies are sensitive to global geometrical deviations, while high-freque ...
Aiming to reduce costs, polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) film patches are an emerging alternative to more classic piezoelectric technologies, like ceramic patches, as transducers to measure local deformation in many structural applications. This choice is ...
In the process of vibration suppression of hot galvanized steel strip by using maglev technology, the flexible modal vibration control of steel strip is a challenging problem. Aiming at this problem, this paper proposes a phase compensation control algorit ...
In this work we study the possibility to analyze the non-stationary impedance spectra by employing standard equivalent circuits. For this purpose, the dynamic multi-frequency analysis (DMFA) is introduced and compared with a set of consecutive stationary i ...
