The atomic force microscope (AFM) system has evolved into a useful tool for direct
measurements of micro-structural parameters and unraveling the intermolecular forces at …

Piezoelectric transduction has received great attention for vibration-to-electric energy
conversion over the last five years. A typical piezoelectric energy harvester is a unimorph or …

Cantilevered beams with piezoceramic (PZT) layers are the most commonly investigated
type of vibration energy harvesters. A frequently used modeling approach is the single …

On-site continuous and energy-autonomous wireless sensor nodes are highly desirable for
the sustainable monitoring of the ocean environment. In this work, a wake gallo** …

This paper discusses a structural damage detection technique based on wavelet analysis of
spatially distributed structural response measurements. The premise of the technique is that …

This dissertation reports a systematic study on analysis and identification of multiple
parameter damped mechanical systems. The attention is focused on viscously and non …

This paper employs a discrete damped dynamic system to investigate the emerging concept
of a digital twin. Dynamic systems are well understood across engineering and science …

The detection of damages by modal analysis and similar vibration techniques depends upon
the knowledge and estimation of various modal parameters. In addition to the associated …

Since Lord Rayleigh introduced the idea of viscous dam** in his classic work" The Theory
of Sound" in 1877, it has become standard practice to use this approach in dynamics …

In the present paper, the nonlocal-in-time dam** models, called “dam**-with-memory”
models, are reviewed. Since such models do not involve the distribution along the …
