Nonlinear vibrations in lattice systems represent a fascinating departure from conventional harmonic behaviour, where the classical linear superposition principle is supplanted by complex dynamics ...

Nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) are devices with many practical applications, such as fast electronic switches, ultra-sensitive force, and mass sensors. Though these devices are typically made ...

Running machine tools faster can lead to vibrations and poor product quality. Adding linear-axis damping can permit higher speeds, deeper cuts, and better precision. Damping options include integrated ...

A team of researchers at Nagoya University has discovered something surprising. If you have two tiny vibrating elements, each one barely moving on its own, and you combine them in the right way, their ...

Applications that require precise information on the linear or angular movement of an object rely on the accuracy of motion sensors within. Accelerometers and gyroscopes can be used to provide this ...

Built on UHV Design’s Production Linear Shift Mechanism range (PLSM), new linear actuator allows heavy objects to be moved ...

Nidec is claiming it has developed a series of linear vibration motors with the smallest-class diameters in the world. Smartphones and smartwatches are sometimes equipped with a vibration motor to ...
