Recently, two phase evaluation methods were proposed to measure nanometric displacements by means of digital speckle pattern interferometry when the phase changes introduced by the deformation are in the range [0, π) rad. ...

The effect of solid-state phase transformation at low temperature on residual stresses in butt welded ferritic thin steel plates has been examined employing a finite element (FE) code. An algorithm considering the solidstate ...

We present a method to determine micro and nano in-plane displacements based on the phase singularities generated by application of directional wavelet transforms to speckle pattern images. The spatial distribution of the ...

Piezoelectric flextensional actuator (PFA) devices consist in a technology in development, with increasing number of applications in precision mechanics such as nanotechnology equipments, electronic microscopy instruments, ...

This work is part of a research under construction since 2000, in which the main objective is to measure small dynamic displacements by using L1 GPS receivers. A very sensible way to detect millimetric periodic displacements ...

In this work a detailed modeling of three-phase distribution transformers aimed at complementing well-known approaches is presented. Thus, incidence of angular displacement and tapping is taken into account in the proposed ...
