Vibration attenuation by means of tuned mass dampers is a common practice in engineering since many years. Usually, their dynamic features are chosen so that a tuning on the modal characteristics of the system to control is achieved. Although such components can be very effective in reducing vibrations, they suffer of some drawbacks. The main one is that they cannot change their dynamic features in...
Decreasing the length of thermoelectric (TE) module legs results in a significant increase in power density, both for cooling applications and electricity generation. However, this reduction also results in a significant increase of mechanical stress in the legs materials. Thus, it is important to implement an effective method to characterize the mechanical properties, such as mechanical spectroscopy,...
We study thickness vibrations of an electroelastic plate under uniform but otherwise arbitrary thermoelectromechanical biasing fields in a manner more general than previous studies of thickness vibrations of plates. An exact solution is obtained for materials with general anisotropy. Special attention is paid to the case of thickness- shear vibrations of plates of monoclinic crystals. The special...
