Using the concept of insulator-based "electrodeless" dielectrophoresis, we present a novel geometry for shaping electric fields to achieve lateral deviation of particles in liquid flows. The field is generated by lateral planar metal electrodes and is guid ...
This Master project concerns the electrostatic motors and focus essentially on the transverse force producing the torque. A study of this force is done with a glass sample and an electret sample under different input parameters such as the applied voltage, ...
The present thesis is devoted to a detailed study of the Casimir force exerting between two parallel metallic plates whose conducting behaviour is described on the microscopic level. In the semi-classical regime, which corresponds to large separations and ...
The paper proposes a new method to determine the tooth cogging force in a brushless DC (BLDC) motor which is used in a hard-disk application. This force might be a source of tooth vibrations and motor noise. In the new method, the permanent-magnet (PM) pol ...
We present an application of the conformal mapping (CM) method to determine the magnetic field and force in an electromechanical actuator. First, we show how to find, using a special type of CM known as the Schwarz-Christoffel mapping, the magnetic field i ...
JET plasmas with reverse magnetic field feature a different SOL flow than those with normal field. The observed carbon fuelling efficiency from injecting methane gas was similar in reverse and normal field. EDGE2D modeling used an externally applied force ...
The inventive device for measuring forces, in particular radial forces produced on an axis or another piece, for example on the axis of the rear wheel of a motorcycle. Said device comprises a measuring sleeve (1) arranged around an axis (3) in such a way t ...
Bilateral Master-Slave force reflecting servomechanisms are very interesting and useful devices. The basic principle of these systems is too realise a force and position transformation between the two mechanisms. This paper presents the design of the multi ...
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) force-distance curves have become a fundamental tool in several fields of research, such as surface science, materials engineering, biochemistry and biology. Furthermore, they have great importance for the study of surface int ...
