(2008-01-01)
The recent years have seen the appearance of innovative system for acoustic and vibration attenuation, most of them integrating new actuator technologies. In this sense, the study of algorithms for active vibrations control ...
Magneto-actuated immunoassay for the detection of Mycobacterium fortuitum in hemodialysis water
(2016-06-01)
This paper addresses a sensitive method for the detection of mycobacteria in hemodialysis water samples based on a magneto-actuated immunoassay with optical readout. In this approach, micro (2.8 μm) sized magnetic particles ...
False alarms in damage detection approaches
(2008-12-01)
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) denotes a system with the ability to detect and interpret adverse changes in structures in order to improve reliability and reduce life-cycle costs. The greatest challenge for designing ...
Robust control to parametric uncertainties in smart structures using linear matrix inequalities
(2004-10-01)
The study of algorithms for active vibrations control in flexible structures became an area of enormous interest, mainly due to the countless demands of an optimal performance of mechanical systems as aircraft and aerospace ...
Modelling of a pneumatic actuator
(2019-01-01)
This paper refers to the modelling of a pneumatic actuator coupled to a mechanical system (mass-spring-damper). These actuators contain a clean technology compared to hydraulic actuators, a good relation between power and ...
Interferometric measurements of nanometric displacements in a Piezoelectric Flextensional Actuator by using the new J1...J5 method
(IEEE, 2012-12-01)
In this work, nanometric displacement amplitudes of a Piezoelectric Flextensional Actuator (PFA) designed using the topology optimization technique and operating in its linear range are measured by using a homodyne Michelson ...
