Materials in human-powered vehicles are not only subjected to simple tension or compression loads, but in many components torsional loading also occurs . The response of a component to these torsional ...

Device actuation was performed electrostatically with a voltage bias between the underlying silicon substrate (backgate) and the structure above. The voltage induced dipolar attraction between the ...

Described herein is an experimental and theoretical study of the dynamic properties of torsional viscous-friction dampers for use on Diesel engines and the characteristics of torsional vibration of ...
