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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Tiny sensors with the ability to roam can be a great aid to doctors, returning information from some hard-to-reach locations inside the body. A problem arises, however, in powering these devices.

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 ...

The Viper is Engel’s newest entry into the robot market. In a normal year, said Gerd Liebig, the company’s marketing manager, it ships about 1000 robots with its machines. The Viper is Engel’s new ...
