Force and Work Measurements: The Beginnings

Jean-François Loude

The first practical, portable “dynamometer”, designed in 1798 by Regnier, was used to quantify the muscular strength of men and animals. It was promptly used by ethnologists to test the strength of the “savages”. A smaller improved model (Collin dynamomete ...

Empirical Modeling of a Squeeze Film Haptic Actuator

Yves Perriard, Miroslav Markovic, Christophe Winter

In the analysis of squeeze film haptic tactile feedback actuators, attention is focused on establishing an empirical model of the force generated on the user's finger. The model is based on finite-element simulations which take into account the real motion ...

Interaction of a point charge with the surface of a uniaxial dielectric

Primoz Rebernik Ribic

We analyze the force on a point charge moving at relativistic speeds parallel to the surface of a uniaxial dielectric. Two cases are examined: a lossless dielectric with no dispersion and a dielectric with a plasma-type response. The treatment focuses on t ...

Dependence of the most probable and average bond rupture force on the force loading rate: First order correction to the Bell-Evans model

Giovanni Dietler, Fabrizio Benedetti

The Bell-Evans model which predicts the linear dependence of the most probable intermolecular bond rupture force on the logarithm of stretching force loading rate is usually used to discuss the dynamic force spectroscopy experiment data. This model is cons ...

LTCC-Based Sensors for Mechanical Quantities

Thomas Maeder, Carolin Lohrberg

Besides their excellent dielectric and thermo-mechanical characteristics Low Temperature Cofiring Ceramics (LTCC) are also well suited for the fabrication of 3D micromechanical components such as sensors for mechanical quantities. This paper describes the ...

Ambulatory measurement of ankle kinetics for clinical applications

Kamiar Aminian, Julien Favre, Xavier Crevoisier, Hossein Rouhani

This study aimed to design and validate the measurement of ankle kinetics (force, moment, and power) during consecutive gait cycles and in the field using an ambulatory system. An ambulatory system consisting of plantar pressure insole and inertial sensors ...

Effect of Charge Order on the Plasmon Dispersion in Transition-Metal Dichalcogenides

Helmuth Berger

We investigate the dispersion of the charge carrier plasmon in the three prototypical charge-density wave bearing transition-metal dichalcogenides 2H-TaSe2, 2H-TaS2, and 2H-NbSe2 employing electron energy-loss spectroscopy. For all three compounds the plas ...

Fluctuations of the Casimir-like force between two membrane inclusions

Anne-Florence Raphaëlle Bitbol

Although Casimir forces are inseparable from their fluctuations, little is known about these fluctuations in soft matter systems. We use the membrane stress tensor to study the fluctuations of the membrane-mediated Casimir-like force. This method enables u ...
