Vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) are a critical aerodynamic phenomenon affecting the dynamic performance and structural integrity of long-span bridges. These oscillations arise when alternating ...
When fluid flows past a blunt object at high speeds, it creates unstable swirling patterns called Kármán vortices. These ...
Fluid flow across a flexible or elastically mounted structure causes vibrations due to vortex shedding and other similar instabilities, like galloping. The flow-induced vibrations (FIV) are ...
An EPFL Ph.D. student in mechanical engineering has developed a device that significantly dampens the flow-induced vibration ...
Researchers have conceptualized a novel strategy to efficiently harness low frequency vibrations as infinite power source for miniature electronic devices. Battery replacement may soon be a thing of ...
Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, Vol. 37, No. 3 (May 2011), pp. 244-252 (9 pages) Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the performance of four frequency weightings for ...
