A ratchet mechanism that occurs due to asymmetric dependence of the friction of a moving system on its velocity or a driving force is reported. For this kind of ratchet, instead of a particle moving in a periodic potential, the dynamics of which have broken space-time symmetry, the system must be provided with some internal structure realizing such a velocity- or force-friction dependence. For ...

Abstract Nano and micromechanical mass sensing using cantilever oscillators of different length-scales has been an established approach. The main principle underpinning this technique is the shift in resonance frequency caused by additional dynamic system. While object to be sensed useful information, some idea about shape would benefit. information may used make a distinction between two objec...

In the present work, thermo-electro vibration of the piezoelectric nanoplates resting on the elastic foundations using nonlocal elasticity theory are considered. In-plane and transverse displacements of the nanoplate have been approximated by six different modified shear deformation plate theories considering transverse shear deformation effects and rotary inertia. Moreover, two new distributio...

In this article, electro-thermo nonlocal nonlinear vibration and instability of viscous-fluid-conveying double–walled boron nitride nanotubes (DWBNNTs) embedded on Pasternak foundation are investigated. The DWBNNT is simulated as a Timoshenko beam (TB) which includes rotary inertia and transverse shear deformation in the formulation. Considering electro-mechanical coupling, the nonlinear govern...

By theoretically analyzing dynamic behavior of the crankshaft, the rolling piston and the blade inrolling-piston rotary compressors, constraint forces and sliding speed at each pair of movable machine elements were obtained, and unbalanced inertia forces and compressor vibrations were evaluated. It was concluded that theoretical results have a goodagreement with experimental ones. Moreover, it ...
