The flexoelectric effect is a coupling of polarization and strain gradient, which exists in a wide variety of materials and may lead to strong size-dependent properties at the nanoscale. Based on an extension to the classical beam model, this paper investigates the electromechanical coupling response of piezoelectric nanobeams with different electrical boundary conditions including the effect o...

in this paper deflection and free vibration of sandwich panel is studied. the core of sandwich panels is made of hexagonal honeycomb and faces are made of two different materials of carbon fiber reinforced plastic and k-aryl/epoxy covering. the governing equations are deduced from the first order sheer deformation theory (fsdt) and they are solved using generalized differential quadrature metho...

In this paper, a comparative study of the main kinds of electromechanical converter used for total artificial heart is presented. Key-words: artificial heart, electromechanical converter, circulatory support

History of Relay The static relay is the next generation relay after electromechanical type.The Solid Static relays was first introduced in 1960’s. The term ‘static’ implies that the relay has no moving mechanical parts in it. Compared to the Electromechanical Relay, the Solid Static relay has longer life-span, decreased noise when operates and faster respond speed. However, it is not as robust...

This paper deals with steady-state analysis of the magnetic field by using Finite Element Method (FEM) in salient poles synchronous motor with damper (SPSMD). The knowledge of electromechanical characteristics is very important in performance analysis of electrical machines, in general. In this paper it presents a methodology for numerical calculation of electromechanical quantities, starting w...

Development of soft electromechanical materials is critical for several tantalizing applications such as soft robots and stretchable electronics, among others. Soft nonpiezoelectric materials can be coaxed to behave like piezoelectrics by merely embedding charges and dipoles in their interior and assuring some elastic heterogeneity. Such so-called electret materials have been experimentally sho...

We investigated the effect of long-term supraphysiologic doses of anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) on atrial electromechanical delay (AEMD) in male bodybuilders. We clearly demonstrated that long-term consumption of supraphysiologic doses of AAS is associated with higher values of inter- and intra-AEMD in healthy young bodybuilders.

Vibration energy harvesting with piezoelectric materials currently generate up to 300 microwatts per cm2, using it to be mooted as an appropriate method of energy harvesting for powering low-power electronics. One of the important problems in bimorph piezoelectric energy harvesting is the generation of the highest power with the lowest weight. In this paper the effect of the shape and geometry ...
