All rotating equipment power trains found in a power plant have some amount of vibration, usually caused by mechanical unbalance of the rotating system, shaft misalignment, or weakness in the bearing ...

The open-access paper, "Active laser cooling of a centimeter-scale torsional oscillator," was recently published in the journal Optica. Lasers have been routinely employed to cool down atomic gases ...

A major advantage of atomic force microscopes (AFMs) is their versatility in integrating various operational modes that assess different material properties and functionalities. Among the most ...

Mechanical damping of the turbine generator (T-G) is higher at higher power level. Subsynchronous torsional interaction (SSTI) depends on the degree of coupling between the HVDC converter and the T-G, ...

Martin Frost – UK sales manager, Telsonic UK the wholly owned subsidiary of Telsonic AG Switzerland, talks to AZoM about the ultrasonic torsional welding. In plastic welding, conventional LINEAR ...

How to calculate the torsional stiffness of rubber shock mounts when all the company supplies are its radial and axial spring rates. Shock, awe, and vibration March 30, 2015 Rubber shock mounts, those ...

Lasers have been routinely employed to cool down atomic gases since the 1980s, and have been used in the linear motion of nanoscale mechanical oscillators since around 2010. The new paper presents the ...
