The continuous development of smartphones has garnered considered research attention owing to the possibility of its use in different engineering applications. MEMS accelerometers available on ...

Abstract: According to field measurements, the damping ratio of a railway catenary varies along the span length and shows an inherent uncertainty. In numerical simulations, it is common to assume a ...

Wondering what the deal is with macros for weight loss? Here's the breakdown. Macro counting is essentially nutritional number-crunching to help you figure out the amount of each macronutrient you're ...

Abstract: Multitype dc–dc converters (MDDCs) are essential interface circuits in shipboard power systems, and their controls are critical in achieving fast voltage regulation. However, the complexity ...

Vibration-absorbing, sound-damping materials such as sheets of rubber and expanded foam tend to be thick, bulky and soft. A new material is a big exception to that tendency, however, as it absorbs ...
