This paper presents a method to detect the position of a linear actuator without any position sensor. The actuator winding has a resonance frequency that is very related to the position of the linear actuator Pmoving part. A sinusoidal scan voltage is supe ...
This paper presents an initial state of the art about the most important techniques for reducing noise in an electrical machine. The FEM 3D modal analysis (realized with the software Ansys 11.0) is then proposed to study and reduce the acoustical power rad ...
We report on the characterization, active tuning and modeling of the first mode resonance frequency of dielectric electroactive polymer (DEAP) membranes. Unlike other resonance frequency tuning techniques, the tuning procedure presented here requires no ex ...

The geometry of crescent-shaped noble-metal nanoparticles is systematically varied in terms of shape and size. The resulting changes in the plasmonic resonances of these structures are investigated by extinction spectroscopy revealing a rich polarization-d ...

A theoretical model for the dc bias dependence of induced acoustic resonances in paraelectric materials is presented. The field dependent piezoelectric constitutive equations were derived from the Landau free energy expansion with respect to the ferroelect ...
The operation of the scanning near-field optical microscope based on the double-resonant montage of a fiber probe onto the tuning fork (working frequency of the latter, that is 32 kHz, coincides with the second resonance frequency of the bending oscillatio ...

DC bias dependent acoustic resonance phenomena have been observed in micromachined tunable thin film capacitors based on Ba0.3Sr0.7TiO3 (BST) thin films. The antiresonance frequency is only weakly dc bias dependent, whereas the resonance frequency exhibits ...

Despite obvious improvements in spectral resolution at high magnetic field, the detection of C-13 labeling by H-1-[C-13] NMR spectroscopy remains hampered by spectral overlap, such as in the spectral region of H-1 resonances bound to C3 of glutamate (Glu) ...
This paper presents a method to detect the position of a linear actuator without any position sensor. The actuator winding has a resonance frequency that is very related to the position of the linear actuator moving part. A sinusoidal scan voltage is super ...

We summarize recent results on micromachined dielectric elastomer actuators (DEA), or artificial muscles, whose compliant electrodes are made by low energy ion-implantation into an elastomer. Out-of-plane displacements in buckling mode of over 25% of the d ...
