The thermal vibration of a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) is investigated by using the models of Euler beam and Timoshenko beam with quantum effects taken into consideration when the law of energy equipartition is unreliable. The relation between temperature and the root of mean-squared (RMS) amplitude of thermal vibration at any cross section of the SWCNT is derived via the beam models ...

The force measuring device is designed to the study of the relationship between vibration amplitude, frequency, speed and traction resistance of the tractor If the design of the force measuring device which consists of a force measuring frame and three octagonal ring transducers is successful, the goal of real-time monitoring of the traction resistance in the process of vibrating sub soil may b...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of self-ligating bracket (SLB) type and vibration on frictional force and stick-slip phenomenon (SSP) in diverse tooth displacement conditions when a levelling/alignment wire was drawn. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 16 groups were tested (n = 10/group): Two types of SLBs [active SLB (ASLB, In-Ovation R) and passive SLB (PSLB, Damon Q)]; vibration (30 Hz an...

We report a self-powered, lightweight and cost-effective active sensor system for vibration monitoring with multiplexed operation based on contact electrification between sensor and detected objects. The as-fabricated sensor matrix is capable of monitoring and mapping the vibration state of large amounts of units. The monitoring contents include: on-off state, vibration frequency and vibration ...

Heterodyne holography is an extremely versatile and powerful holographic technique that is able to fully control the amplitude, phase and frequency of both the illumination and holographic reference beams. Applied to vibration analysis, this technique is able to detect the signal of the carrier or the one of any vibration sideband. A complete analysis of the vibration signal can thus be made, a...
