Ferroelectrics found extensive uses in industrial applications because of their unparalleled electromechanical and electrical characteristics, for example, as actuators, sensors and capacitors [1], [2 ...

Dual-frequency resonance tracking (DFRT) is a technique that utilizes contact mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) to measure a sample’s weak electrical or mechanical responses. Conventional resonance ...

Download this article in PDF format. Jacques and Pierre Curie, French physics, discovered the piezoelectric effect in 1880. When some solid material is mechanically compressed or stressed, the ...

Mechanical resonance is a pervasive problem in servosystems. Most resonance problems are caused by compliance of powertransmission components. Standard servocontrol laws are structured for rigidly ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Generating a high-frequency magnetic field can be quite a challenge due to an assortment of technical issues. At high ...

In the event of a breakdown, any number of issues may be the culprit, but there’s one in particular that’s particularly challenging to diagnose: resonance. Resonance can be a problem in any machine, ...

Something that probably unites many Hackaday readers is an idle pursuit of browsing AliExpress for new pieces of tech. Perhaps it’s something akin to social media doomscrolling without the induced ...
