As post-LHC particle accelerators of higher energy become prohibitively expensive, physisicists are turning to precision low-energy measurements of fundamental symmetries as an avenue for the discovery of new physics. A common requirement of many of these experiments is precision ... Read More

In this work we report on an investigation of the effect of the magnetic particles size on the effective macroscopic behavior of magnetorheological elastomers (MREs). MREs are a class of smart materials known for their tunable deformation. They are composite materials which consist of ... Read More

Electrospray Deposition (ESD) is a process used in manufacturing that utilizes a charged capillary to disperse a flowing liquid into a spray that deposits onto a grounded target substrate. The build-up of charge on the substrate can begin to deflect further spray, allowing the material ... Read More

Rich literature exists on calculation of copper loss in windings of high-frequency transformers and inductors. Most of the work was carried out in a Dowell approximation ignoring the windings aspect ratio and core presence. Calculation of losses at non-sinusoidal currents is made usually ... Read More

In the manufacture of radiation detectors, high voltage bias is often required. Since the detector is housed inside a sealed enclosure a ceramic to metal seal is used to feed this bias voltage to the detector as well as providing connections for the resulting pulse output from the ... Read More

Magnetic Suspension and Balance Systems (MSBS) are a method of levitating an aerodynamic model in a wind tunnel. An unusual characteristic is that the electromagnet assemblies (outside the wind tunnel) are very large, but the levitated object (a permanent magnet core) is quite small and ... Read More

Electrokinetic (EK) techniques have been broadly implemented in a variety of fields, including microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip, and are seeing increased interest to miniaturize and optimize fluid pumping and mixing systems. While EK techniques such as electro-osmosis and ... Read More

Microfluidics-based mixing has been widely used in various areas such as chemical engineering, biomedical engineering and materials science. The micromixer can be strategies into two categories as passive and active method depending on the mixing principle. Magnetic mixing integrated ... Read More

Devices which scavenge energy from ambient mechanical sources such as human body movement and ocean waves are undergoing rapid research and development. Both triboelectric and piezoelectric effects have been employed in the design of such devices. In this work, we use the MEMS Module in ... Read More

This literature reviews the simulation of specific oxide coated MEMS based gas sensor analysis with various parameters such as power consumption, temperature uniformity, resistance change, sensitivity and selectivity etc. The property of the sensing layer of the device to change its ... Read More
