The inerter, a recently discovered mechanical element, is analyzed from a broader perspective of Chua's periodical table of electric elements and electro-mechanical analogies. It is shown that the inerter can be reduced to today's generally accepted mechanical equivalent of electric capacitor or inductor only for a linear relationship between force and acceleration. The actual position of the inerter...
Energy harvesting has the potential to save billions of dollars and create ground breaking technologies for sustainable ocean monitoring systems. Replacement of batteries from the sensors deployed on sea floor is expensive and tedious process. The cost of maintenance for battery operated equipments in the deep waters may be prohibitive. Thus, it is highly desirable to develop a system that harnesses...
A two-dimensional or transverse acoustic trapping and its capability to noninvasively manipulate micrometersized particles with focused sound beams were experimentally demonstrated in our previous work. To apply this technique, as in optical tweezers, for studying mechanical properties of and interactions among biological particles such as cells, the trapping forces must be calibrated against known...
