Using a servo-controlled truss, a unique 3D surface can dynamically transition between absorption, reflection, and ...

The low frequency was chosen to avoid resonance effects and to ensure a maximum displacement of the actuator. In addition ... The breakdown strength of the coated piezo chips was measured with an ...

Linear versus rotary, electric, pneumatic or hydraulic, here’s a look at the basics of the actuator component.

A recent breakthrough in photothermal actuator design has been achieved by a research team from the Hefei Institutes of ...

Abstract: This article investigates the problem of fault-tolerant control for stochastic high-order fully actuated systems (FASs) with actuator faults. Different from the majority of existing studies ...

The design dilemma, however, is that these devices need lasting power to fly around long enough. But because they are so ...

It is concluded that it is unlikely that new piezoelectric crystals will be found to replace those in use at present for frequency control and selection but that there is greater scope for new ...

Examples include thermoelectric and piezoelectric energy harvesters, solar thermal energy capture and storage, as well as sensors for detection of nanomaterials in the environment and acoustic ...
