MEMS-based accelerometers are increasingly deployed in harsh environments where mechanical stress is not just expected but constant.

Vibration is hard on hydraulic seals. Learn how to prevent leaks using dampening clamps, whip hoses, the right fittings, and ...

A key element of the new product development cycle for companies in the automotive, military, medical device, and electronics industries is shock and mechanical vibration testing. For unbiased ...

The number of ways to harvest energy that would otherwise go unused and wasted is extraordinary. To cite a few of the many examples, there’s the heat given off during almost any physical or electronic ...

Using a more complex resonator as a dynamic magnifier, the efficiency of a MEMS-based energy harvester undergoing random impulse stimulation is greatly improved. The limitations of basic piezo-based ...

Introduction The automotive market is continuously evolving, as cars are required to be light and highly fuel-efficient, as ...

What is predictive maintenance (PdM)? It’s the application of instrumentation and intelligence to help determine the condition of equipment and whether maintenance should be performed to avoid ...

In biomechanics, non-contact laser Doppler vibrometry is a highly important and potent tool. In determining the dynamic properties of a pelvic bone, recent experiments have relied on deflection ...
