Highly sensitive conversion of motion into readable electrical signals is a crucial and challenging issue for nanomechanical resonators. Efficient transduction is particularly difficult to realize in ...

In civil engineering, flexural beams are used to control the effect of vibrations that can cause cracks to appear in surfaces (concrete slabs) and beams. This is particularly important in buildings ...

All complex and intricate assemblies include components with natural frequencies that are critical because they exist in the generalized 8 to 200 Hz environmental spectrum. This can be demonstrated by ...
