The model updating of the electro-mechanical properties of Piezoelectric Energy Harvesters (PEHs) using experimental data within a Bayesian inference setting is discussed. The implementation requires: a predictive model ...

The electrical, mechanical and piezoresistive responses of vinyl ester nanocomposites made of two types of multilayer graphene sheets (GSs) and multiwall carbon nanotube hybrid fillers at different relative concentrations ...

Background: Viscoelasticity is a property of materials that present elastic and viscous behavior when they experience deformation. The simplest model that can represent the viscoelastic behavior is generally called the ...

Piezoresponse Force Microscopy (PFM) is used to characterize the nanoscale electromechanical properties of centrosymmetric CaCu3Ti4O12 ceramics with giant dielectric constant. Clear PFM contrast both in vertical (out-of-plane) ...

This work presents a comprehensive study of the uncertainties involved in the FrequencyResponse Function (FRF) of Piezoelectric Energy Harvesters (PEHs) based on experimentalresults. A proper experimental setup is designed ...

A device was designed to apply the directional recrystallization method to Fe-based alloys in order to obtain bamboo-like microstructures. This microstructure is suitable for improving creep properties and resistance to ...
