To correct oscillations in a machine,mechanical design improvements and electronic filters are typically employed.However, these solutions often deliver limited success. Engineers should ...

In this video we take a look at how vibrating systems can be modelled, starting with the lumped parameter approach and single degree of freedom models. We then go on to look at damping, the ...

The science version of resonance is behind everything from lasers to MRIs and bridges that vibrate themselves to death*. Without resonance we wouldn't have music or voices, our whole world would be ...

A single hydrogen molecule has been used to “push” an object much more massive than itself. So say researchers in Germany and Spain who have used a phenomenon called stochastic resonance to extract ...

Energy harvesting technology is applied to "harvest" electrical energy from dumped energy sources around us, such as vibration, heat, light, and so on. A device that is capable of harvesting energy ...
